Enough for now. I still use my palm Treo 680 so can't comment on the other phones, Otherwise I am sticking with 680 until the Pre comes down in price in the uk. As for the connections have you tried buying new cables off ebay to see if that solves the problem? If you still need palm there are winmobile phones which can run a palm emulator. Theres speculation that Microsoft will withdraw from the market since their market share is decreasing rapidly with their lackluster OS not improving much. HTC are releasing android phones so people are wondering if they will withdraw from the winmob market .
