Unfortunately you cannot get these in Canada. In our beloved land we are
regulated by the CRTC (dont ask) which basically allows phone companies to
operate. As the population is small in relative terms to market size, the
CRTC allows phone companys to single source products. What does this mean.?
Simply this, you must buy a phone from a specific vendor and the phone has
been programmed to operate only with that vendor. Change companies cause you
dont like the plan, you buy a new phone. Currently on phone number 5..:)
The best combination by far is the BlackBerry and I dont use it for email.
There are a ton of apps out there, mostly network centric as this is the
central design of RIM's product line (they started out as corporate toy
company..:)). In short it meets or exceeds all of your requirements except
stylus input.
A little exploration on google should give you a good idea of its capabilites
and third party application support.
