I have been following the new smartphones as they are released, and I
am about to buy a unit. The main purpose, other than as a phone, ,is
to keep databases (contacts) and access to various information sources
for (generally) medical information.
I am an ATT user and have narrowed my choice down to the Motorola
Atrix and the iPhone 4. Can you comment on the relative merits of
these two units?
Best,
Bob

it really depends on the apps. the iphone has a wider selection, so
it's more likely something will better match your needs but only you
can decide that. either one will manage contacts. there are also a
*lot* of medical apps on the iphone.

private communications should be via email. this is a public newsgroup
and anyone can respond to any post. plus, navas doesn't read this group
anymore because he got tired of his unsubstantiated claims being
challenged and repeatedly proven wrong, so he may never see it.
in any event, he hates iphones, so he'd undoubtedly recommend an
android device, regardless whether it fits someone's needs or not.

You can find his e-mail address at <http://navas.us/>.
He no longer frequents these groups for obvious reasons.

He probably has some automated newsgroup poster script set up to
regularly spam his off-topic Cingular FAQ.
Set up a spam "from" filter in your news reader (on the amusingly named:
"spamfilter1@navasgroup.com"), like most people here, and you won't even
see that.

He wisely chose to take his schtick to some other venue.

If it was private, how did the OP see it?
John Navas is to cell phones what Rudy Guy is to Apple II's.
