i have a treo 650. i got the 700, and went back to the 650. if i were to buy a phone today, besides the iphone, i would get the blackberry pearl. my brother has one, and it does everything i would need a phone to do. the only thing i dont like is that it doesnt have a touch screen. the phone is easy to use without it. no need for one.
i dont know anyone with the ppc, so i cant say anything about it, but that if i dont see one in downtown cleveland being around lawyers all day, its prob not that great of a phone.
