I have used Palms since the days of the Palm Pilot Professional, and there have been times when I've headed off to work or to run errands and realize I've left the darned thing charging or still hooked up to my computer. The same holds true for my cell phone. And with the two devices competing for space on my belt/waistband or in my purse, having both a phone and PDA was starting to be stressful. My husband solved the problem by getting me a Treo. It's taken a little practice to getting used to the thumbpad, but now that I have everything in one device I'm a happy convert. The very first day I had it, my doctor saw me puzzling out the odd beep and quickly whipped hers out and gave me a quick how-to tour! I still haven't had the time to sit down and go through the user's manual, but the Treo is very straightforward and easy to use, so chances are I may never need to read it. A great electronic assistant for those who are tech savvy as well as those who are a bit on the tech-phobic side.
