    Damn you lucky Europeans with your single cellular standard. Yes, the
    Palm can sync with a Nokia 6210 via IR. (Whereas my crappy Nokia 6162
    doesn't even have an IR port, even though it has the stupid window.)

    This site should get you going:

    You can also get SMS software (try www.palmgear.com) that lets you compose
    and send messages from your Palm. And it's been rumored that address
    entries can be beamed directly to the phone, to more easily keep your
    phone book up to date.
