I don’t know how you would go about syncing with a Mac as I have never used one but there are quite a few blogs focussed on Nokia E-Series that are run by Mac users. I think it’s something to do with iSync but I could be wrong.

There isn’t a built in search function but there’s a free download from Nokia that gives a global search function – sort of like the built in search in Palm OS only blazingly fast.

There’s quite a bit of 3rd party software available for Symbian S60 3rd Edition now but not very much freeware.

To me Symbian seems to have most of the power of WM5, but with the simplicity and robustness of Palm OS.

I have had my N73 for about 9 months now and I have not had a single unexpected reset nor lost any data at all.

Did you take a look at the Nokia E61 or E62?

No touchscreen but a great qwerty and all the same core phone strengths as the N73. If a camera is important the forthcoming E62i has a 2MPx with flash.

Symbian takes a little getting used to if you are coming from WM5 – but it’s really worth it.
