I've gone back and forth with PDA phones since the first Pocket PC came out. Palm and Blackberry not an option for me. Verizon's customer service, speed and connectivity is consistently reliable and fast -- I get signal where no one else can. Despite WM-6 coming out I still can't stand the bulk of the newer models so after trying to accomplish anything with (1/2 the) Web 2.0 I am now back to my workhorse Pantech 820 which is ideal - sturdy, no software probs / screen issues and it does ALMOST all I need. Already loaded Pocket Quicken & PDF-opener utilities and Sync'ed everything but have yet to locate a full list of freeware/hacks to get it full-view functional. Still seeing "X-ed out" icons instead of visuals. Love the size - Lack of QWERTY keyboard not an issue - use my Bluetooth foldup keyboard when long messages are truly a must. Can anyone help me make the PN-820 the perfect device?
