Red face Ease of use with one hand?

Could someone please comment on how easy or difficult to use the 8525 with just one hand? I have the Treo 750 now, but the screen size is taking the fun out of mobile computing... But, definitely need one handed operation for work, so... your comments are most appreciated!

Tom.

The screen is sizable compared to the Treo screens, but I switched over from the 3.5" 6600... so it was a downgrade for me...

That been said- the scroll wheel is AMAZING. It changes the way you use the device. I touch the screen about 1/10th as often as I used to. I would say one handed operations are far, far easier than any other device I've played with.

I can do most everything on my phone with one hand. The only thing I need both hands for is typing. For me, the screen size outweighs being able to type with one hand, and I can type FAST on my 8525. I do a lot of screen touching to navigate, but between my thumb and the scroll wheel I don't have much need for the stylus.

Hey, thanks for all the input! The only thing I need to do one hand is to make Task entry. I do a lot of driving, and need to jot down whatever that's coming up... For this reason, Treo 750 (and other models) are really superb. Touch type doesn't really work for me, because my finger size... Thanks!
