Harold: I also started with the Palm Pro, and moved up into color and high res, etc. Before Palm was an HP 100LX, then 200LX, then the Palm series. I could fly on any of them. I loved Graffiti. Found Jot when I has a Tungsten C. kept using it until I found some conflicts between it and my Treo 680. started using TealScript. Those little buttons are a major bother.
Srivaths: Only thing is if I leave the Treo, it'll be for something with an easier to use keyboard. The Tilt looks kind of cool, and I did like the iPhone. Michael: Only thing I can offer on the music choicing is keep em both. I've a 160Gb Classic and a dock on my desk and mostly I use it for podcasts so even if I sold the Classic, a 16Gb iPhone would probably suffice, though I'm hoping June brings a 32Gb just to make sure I have room for software. I too like flip fones - but I use a Bluetooth headset virtually all the time, so a flat phone isn't as objectionable as it would be if it were my only way to use a phone. Used to be I carried a phone and a PDA. I could see that happen again. I'm not looking forward to it, but I could see it happening. On 05/06/2008 at 1655 -0400 "Harold M.
