  Treo 600: Not Your Parents' PalmPilot

Like Ian, I have been using the 600 for about a month now, although it has actually been around the office since last October.
I was stuck on the 2 device solution for my personal use, and preferred my tiny T-68i paired with my first palm PDA, the Sony T675C (665 in USA), and then later paired with the Zire 71.
It was tough to go to the 600, because I was spoiled with the Zire 71's excellant high-res TFT screen. Can't beat it today (T3 uses same...).


Anyway, my major positives are that you can have so many functions in one device, that you hit one button and it's keyboard-locked (unlike cell phones), and you can type short messages very quickly.
As far as functionality, I've got it as an MP3 player, Audible player, Camcorder, voice notes recorder, e-mail device, Text/SMS messageing device (well organized and easy), note-taker, and it's a camera and phone, too.
I think an FM SD card that also has decent memory would complete the device (given it's physical capabilities).
The fact is that there are no other real smartphones out there, other than one or two PPCs and the expensive/bulky SE P-800/900. So what are you going to do?
