Should give the 600 something to worry about....

I think it is strange. Two handed keyboard operation and standing there holding this partly disassembled phone people thinking it just got run over .

ACK!

Man, is that thing ugly! Canadian design leaves something to be desired. (I'm allowed to say that)

damn, damn, damn.... guess i'll get that when it comes out

the only thing i'm having a hard time with is the keyboard... i receive and reply to as many as 50 emails a day while mobile. my sidekick is SO much easier to type with than the 600 but of course there's so much more i can do with the 600. if the keyboard is sturdy enough I'll have to try it out.

To Big and bulky. Though Pocket PC does offer a lot of advantages over PalmOS. But then you'll have to sell your soul to Bill.

As oppose to selling your soul to an almost bankrupt company? I see your point clearly now.

One should wish to be loaded up with stock at this point. Maybe your new name will be green with envy X soon.

everybody does that, big friggin' deal. The question is will you cash in after the merger shortly before the bad numebr come out?

lol.

now THAT is true test of your willingness to believe in the company.

the designer should be shot!!

Really? Does that mean you are shorting Palm Inc. like crazy? I hope you have, cuz their stock price has more than doubled in the past 6 months.

that thing is ug-leeee. I don't see how any self-respecting professional could carry that thing around with a straight face.

Do files get embarrassed when they get unzipped?

Given that the left half of the keyboard folds out, I wonder how difficult it would be to type on it since the right half of the keyboard will have all the weight of the phone. Seems too much off center for more than casual use. I would hope that hinge is heavy duty, also.

Too bad they did not try to combine the Palm sliding design with the fold out keyboard. It would be a much smaller phone with the keyboard folded closed and "slided"? back into the phone body.

I agree it's ugly! Doesn't it look like the fold out keyboard is a separate unit that wraps around the phone and plug in?
