Check out Treo 300 / Snappermail combination - it's a Palm OS device.  If he really wants latest and greatest, the Treo 600, due October ish, looks like it'll be the combo device to beat.    I've heard the Blackberry / phone device is not very satisfactory.  And the Pocket PC / Phone devices aren't particularly small yet.  That's changing, supposedly, but I don't believe any of the better devices are shipping.   Rob   ========================== Robert N.
