Hi, I just got my 700p.

Since this is an off-topic forum, I'll start with a rant:

-Why do they advertise the 700 Treo with an image of some Faux News--I mean Fox news--talking head? It almost turned me off from buying it--I don't want that on my screen! Is that really the Treo consumer audience--viewers of Fox news? Isn't Palm worried about turning the rest of us off?

-What is this Push to Talk thing I keep seeing advertised everywhere? I'm assuming it's not available for the Treo--is that correct? (Just curious--probably not a big deal.)

-This "Essential Software" that comes on the Palm CD that comes with the Treo--is that backup for software that is already installed on my Treo, or is it necessary to install it to Treo? Or do I just have to install it to my computer? Is all of it actually necessary? Is any of it necessary? Where can I find a description of each software item that's on the disk so I can figure out whether it's necessary? (Audible, Bejeweled, Docs to Go, Enterprise, eReader, MobiTV, Palm Files App, Solitaire, Traffic, and Voice Dialing.)

My needs are pretty bare bones.

Thanks.
