There is a good review at http://www.bricklin.com/log/treo180.htm

I think it works better in the UK due to the more mature GSM coverage
here btw. The reception etc. seems about the same as my Nokia.

Basically, I am keeping mine. I loose some phone functions like voice
dialing but I gain all the PDA functions in a size that is perfect.

I use Eudora for my email on it, Blaze for web browsing, I installed JOT
to allow me to write on the screen (although I use the keyboard which is
actually very good for most things) and the contacts/calendar is kept
sync'd to my desktop.

The headset does have an answer button on it so you can take calls in
the car but I wouldn't try making one unless you are stopped!

I have to say, tho, I'll be looking at the O2xda when it ships although
the lack of keyboard and larger form factor are detractors...
