HTC Advantage X7500 phone/pda with WIFI/bluetooth/. You will be able to read the pdfs, the mails, surf the web, GPS. It has two built-in cams, one a 3mp - sufficient to take reasonable photos of your real estate. It has a large 5 inch screen, yet is very light, thin, low on battery, has an 8GB microdrive and fits in a pocket. If you need added hdd capacity just add the new Seagate D.A.V.E. (10-20gb). If you could handle a smaller screen a Nokia N95 with its 5mp cam, could be an alternative.

Being a Sony UX userfor quite a while, I can see a lot of benefits using it for you job. It has two cameras, which let you take the pictures you need and do videoconferencing. It also has an ultra-bright sony display, which is important if you're using it outside, believe me. It also has optional phone abilities (not sure what the software is like, I use the CF model) and it has a thumboard to make e-mails easier. It also has a double-life battery available, which has been of great use to me.

I'm thinking of waiting for the Q1 Ultra, which might fit Lawrence's list (assuming it could be end as a phone).

"On the go all the time" means battery life has to be a factor - the Q1B would be good for that - and I agree with Steve/Anton P Nym re screen size - reading pdf's and word files would be better on a bigger screen (bigger fonts). Having said that, the Q1B only has a mono speaker (boo!), so maybe the Q1P with the extended battery? R2H looks good and has heaps of features, but only so-so battery life.

The R2H has the GPS a real estate agent would need but ‘Real’ mobile phone service on a Origami just ain’t happen yet.

Any comments on the R2H, it's suppose to be better for inking due to the screen (better palm rejection). I know it won't run Vista without alot a work but Warren seems to be doing a good job at GottaBeMobile figuring it out. I read that the R2H arrived at Mobile Tech Manor how about a review.
