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 look

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.
