I've been a die hard Palm fan for years, and finally broke down and bought a WM6 phone, off ebay.

Palm phones:

Treo600 --> Treo650 --> Treo680

What I liked about the Treo? I could one hand the keyboard a quick message and do the same with with looking up contacts. The interface was good. Lots of programs.

Bad: The operating system hasn't changed for 4+ years! Seriously! Even the new Treo Centro is nothing but a revamped Treo680/650.

I picked up an AT&T Tilt (HTC TyTN II). It is Very very good, but...the Tilting screen / sliding keyboard is not as good as I thought it would be. It is not better than than the Treo. I can't thumb the keyboard one handed.

So, this brings me to what I would get now, if I had the cash: A Treo Pro, or a Treo 750. Why? All the advantages of the Treo form factor and the WM6 operating system, and Wifi! I think the Treo750 you have to add a card for Wifi, but still.

But I also have a Redfly. This and the phone make a mini-always on Laptop.
