Oh, I'll get mine.

I was wondering when we'd see VC chime in on the treo.

I keep DateBook (which incidently is the only calendar app -- no Datebook icon anymore) configured so that the weekly appointment view is the first screen. Press the calendar button and then use the jog rocker to scroll through the weeks.

I've seen several reviewers comment on the change of hardware buttons, which has puzzled me. If it's running Palm OS, can't you use Preferences to configure those buttons to call up any program you want?

I've used a program called QuickSwitch for years (www.standalone.com), which lets me stack multiple programs on each button so that I can "toggle" through them in succession -- great for one-handed use! One button has all my reading material on it, for instance: AvantGo, iSilo, PalmReader, etc.

Well, you can configure the 4 main buttons (no calc button). What you can't configure is the activity of the Opt + button (which gets you to Memo, ToDo, etc). this is very annoying and I wonder if maybe I just haven't figured out how yet.

The stylus is stubby. I like it.

James mentioned that the Treo does not allow you to set a ring tone for each caller.

Can VisorPhone do this?

Thanks,
