Derek I've had 2 Treos now for about 4 or 5 years, currently have the 600. Good points - battery lasts me a week between recharges ( I don't make lots of calls though) It's a phone and a pda in one unit Can sync calendar and contacts seamlessly between Entourage and Treo. Mini keyboard is a lot easier for sms ing. Other applications eg Splash ID for managing passwords, logins etc. Speaker phone option for when driving.
Bad Points: Not as tiny as some of the more sexy mobile phones. I've had 2 warranty issues in 5 years ( buy extended warranty if you can) Camera is not brilliant - actually it may be the screen resolution that is the problem. Sometimes it's a pain in the butt when it is ringing and I have to take it out of my pocket, then pull it out of it;s leather sleeve case. I still think it seems the best option to combine pda and phone in 1 unit AND be able to sync perfectly with Entourage.
