My Mom went to get my Dad a blackberry recently, and was told "those are, like, so last century!". I think I need to go with her next time, and will take this model info with me. Thanks!

It's very thin and surprisingly lightweight too. You can type with your thumbs, it's actually not bad once you get used to it. The keys are a little bigger than a Blackberry's, or so I hear/read. The screen is not a touchscreen like the Treo's. The killer feature is that it works over WiFi as well as cellular (and bluetooth), so if you have access to a WiFi network, it's much faster to download mail and browse the web.

I'd be very interested to hear how you feel about this, especially ease of use (ie button/screen size), etc. I'll check back, but in the meantime- it looks pretty freakin' cool! Hey Troy-
