I've had my new Treo 600 for two days. Here are some quick observations:

The shape, form, functionality of the phone is fabulous! Except for the center button on the directional key pad being too small for my big thumb, I've not found any gigantic flaws.

Be cautious using the program to transfer data from previous Palms to the Treo. It allows programs to move over that cause problems.

On Sprint, setting up the passwords and usernames (via the online site) is confusing and can cause your Treo to stop working if you are not consistent.

Most IMPORTANT, the Sprint technical support persons are hopelessly lost, especially when it comes to PCs E-mail and SMS. The 600 does NOT require Eudora or third-party software to make these features work. If your passwords are correct, you merely go the to the PCs Vision web site on the phone (the default home page) and go to the messaging area. The Sprint tech people kept telling me I had to download Eudora (and I kept telling them that's not what the manual says). Finally, level II tech support identified a password problem and all was solved.

The lack of a Caller ID history (unless I'm missing it) is unfortunate. I use it a lot on phones.
