Thanks for the kind words... I think we are unique in that we aren't just about one device. Ask a question like this one at a site like that you'll get a biased answer, and/or attacked. Hopefully that will never happen here.

My unstable comment was in a general sense, and a minor difference. I wouldn't worry that much about that one. My Treo has locked up a few times, and so did the G1000... it happens. Hopefully, not while you are on an important call.

With regard to office documents, it is interesting. Pocket Word and Excel that are part of Pocket PC are not that great, and they use a different file format than the desktop. It all works automagically when you sync files, but there are some differences. For my needs they worked fine, but if you are into heavy MS Office type work, you may find them week. The Palm based tools .. Documents2Go and QuickOffice are both pretty highly rated, and I believe use native file formats. Check them out in your research.

Regardless of platform, pdaPhones are extremely personal. How you use it will be different than everyone else. Unlike PDAs where all Pocket PCs are the same, and all Palms are the same... for the most part, with pdaPhones, they are all different. You are wise to do research.
