I enjoyed reading your review, art. Very well presented. I purchased my 8GB yesterday at 6:20PM and here I am still waiting for activation like so many others.
I appreciate your comments regarding application for work tasks. I'm in the same boat and have been monitoring this site many times daily for months worrying about whether I could efficiently function without my Treo for work purposes with synching with my PC's Outlook and business email. Hopefully, I'll get the "word from God" email from ATT soon so I can activate and finally take this thing for a test drive.
