PDA phones coming out this year

Anyone have any news on exciting PDA phones coming out this year for Verizon? Sorry, that last sentence was a complete oxymoron.... anyway, my contract is up this upcoming September. Cingular has great phones, and I love rollover minutes but everyone I know either has Verizon or a Sidekick, and I also get a 20% discount on my phone line.

I could care less about the Q, although I'm biased against Motorola to start out with. I haven't kept in touch with the news with phones recently, anyone know if anything similar to the Treo 750 is coming out soon? It also can't have that wretched Verizon GUI, I'm tired of seeing it on all their phones. Full QWERTY keyboard, none of that two-letters per key BS. A nice form factor is definitely a plus (not necessarily slim), along with long battery life, and LOUD volume through the earpiece.

Looking for call quality, ease of use, and a good list of useful features. May get an unlimited data plan so I can access e-mail and stuff like that and schedule reminders. Or would I just need a basic V-cast plan that lets me use e-mail? And is there some way I can use wi-fi or are there any phones with it built in?

Really disappointed that phones like the N80 never came out for Verizon. Not a QWERTY keypad, but still, a sweet phone. I like the way it looks, slide or brick, to me it doesn't matter much, though the Blackberry Pearl looks nice too.

I know that the blackberry 8830 should be coming out Monday, May 14. Its a world phone which does CDMA in the states and GSM over seas. Rumor has it that the sprint version has the GSM unlocked while Verizon is keeping it locked down (no surprise!) Full qwerty keypad, no camera though.

Also concearning the data plan, you have 3 options for data on a pda phone. Pay-as-you-go, $25, and $45 unlimited. No V-cast plan for pda phones.......
