I've heard good things about the A900 -- been looking at getting one 
myself. Only thing is is that it tends to have skimpy battery life, so 
I'd invest in a car charger as well.

I've never heard anything about mixing phone types in the same plan; 
give customer service a call and ask, I guess. As for GPS, several 
Sprint phones have the GPS feature, but it looks to me more like a 
novelty than a viable tool.

Bluetooth-enabled computers and PDA's can communicate with your phone, 
and I recall reading something in these archives about people using BT 
with BitPim. I would think that as long as you have the problem driver, 
you're golden.
