I carry it in my pants' pocket, and most of the time, I don't even notice I have it with me. Also the new Treo 600 is much slimmer than the current Treo. It's one device that pretty much does all. Yes, SMS is nice, but you can't send a long message though. The Treo also handles SMS as well. When I was in the airport the other day, I wrote a couple of e-mails to my colleagues and sent them and checked my e-mails, and deleted most of the ones I don't need off the server. I do this when I'm away from office, and this way I don't have to deal with hundreds of messages when I return to my office. Most of folks I know who have used one of these devices would not trade it once they started using it. Going back to a regular cell phone to me is unthinkable. I think we are getting off topic here, and I'll stop here. -- Best regards, Kenneth mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
