Which smartphone should I buy?

I commute a lot during the course of my work so using a laptop becomes very irritating as the battery dies after 3 hrs of usage. Therefore, I'm looking for a good smartphone for work. Most smartphones handle the PIM functionality very well, so I won't discuss them here. I need the following two functionalities:



1. I listen to a lot of podcasts while commuting mostly from Businessweek and other magazines. Can any smartphone automatically download updated podcasts or do i need to sync it with my PC?

2. I read a lot of websites. I usually save webpages on my laptop and read them while commuting (wireless internet is still very expensive in India :( ). Is it possible to save webpages in html and view them on a smartphone?



3. A decent camera, even 1.3 mgapixels will do.





I have shortlisted the following phones,



1. Treo series -

Now, only the Treo 650 and 680 are officially available in India. I can get the 700 and 750 off the grey markets. Which model should I lookWhich smartphone should I buy?
Try to find a Eten model. If this is not available. any of these will do.

Podcasts will only work by syncing with a PC.

Websites will work with the Avant-Go program. You tell AvantGo wich sites you read regularly, and it will download and compress them on your PC.

You sync the Phone and can read the pages offline.Which smartphone should I buy?
Currently Best Smart Phone that has the LOT is the nokia

N95.

However it is very expensive and comes with HEAPS of features.
