RE: Now Treo 650s, was New Sonos Player

They're pretty good.  If, like a lot of my staff, you're used to using a
trusty Nokia 6310, then the hanging and crashing that tend to occur every
few days is annoying, but in my experience no worse than any other
smartphone.  We've got mobile engineers using them, and so far I think
we'v=

had 2 go back under warrantee due to the main select button falling off.
Personally I love the Treo's, and paired with GoodLink (push email) they're
easily better than Blackberry, though even the on-board Verso mail isn't
to=

bad, and can be config'd to sync with gmail (or whatever) every 5 mins, so
whilst not true push, still not bad for a freebie app.

OK - I didn't read it carefully enough ... great offer only if you=20=20
live in the US ... still, seems an exceptional offer ...

since you said nothing to the contrary, I guess the many Treos you=20=20
bought have proved to be the right choice ... I did try several times=20=20
to buy one a week ago, and found PC World shops had the best prices -=20=20
380GBP ... but everytime they'd just sold their last one ...
