What is the best alternative to the iPhone, other than a Blackberry, for email, Twitter, RSS, chat?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If I weren't going to get an iPhone during summer, I'd probably get this brand new Palm Pre (set to release in the first half of 2009).

M$If you have the means to get that phone it is a nice choice. Other than that if you have a phone already, you can do anything the Iphone can do outside of SMS and calls on the Ipod touch.
If you don't want to carry 2 devices Windows Mobile is an option, while not the best choice, they are coming out with Windows Mobile 6.5 and then Windows Mobile 7. Frankly if I were going for a windows mobile phone I would wait until 6.5 at least.
Windows mobile has the largest install base of those on nearly every carrier, It's just a bit outdated in comparison. If you have time you might also consider waiting for the Palm Pre with the new Web OS operating system, it looks like it has potential to be the best Iphone alternative.

M$You might also want to look into a Nokia 810; I have heard good things about it. (I have a 770 myself, and find it a little hard to use, but they may have improved it since then.)
