Come to the darkside!
check out the TREO 650 smartphone at

It is a cellphone with a full featured, top of the line/no compromises, Palm PDA built into it. It has a built in keyboard and it is the best form factor out there by far. It has a camera/bluetooth/email w/attachments/sms and is able to run tens of thousands of awesome palm programs. Right out of the box it will sync with all of your outlook contacts and calendar appointments, etc. You can open or create any microsoft documents word, excel, powerpoint...etc. You can email right from the device no matter where you are. Remember it is a cellphone, so as long as you have a internet plan on your cellphone, this thing uses it. I have sprint and the unlimited 120k internet access is $15 extra a month. You dont have to find a coffehouse for wifi, etc you ALWAYS have internet access!!! It also has a mp3/video player, and there are so many programs you can out on it.....
THe main reson I went this route is that everything is integrated. You surf yahoo yellow pages and the phone numbers are hyperlinked. You click on the link and the phone dials the number. Same with any phone numbers on a webpage or in you email.
Also when I used to carry PDA's, It was always another device to lug around, and I found myself carrying them less and less. THis way you are forced to carry it around.
There will always be a debate between the palm operating system and the windows operating system. Palm has been around longer and there are lots more programs and support for the palm OS right now. Another nice thing is that the palm units are generally lighter.
