The benchmark convergence device, this week, is the HTC Magician/iMate Jam. The size of a phone with a full pocketpc--windows media 10--and its all screen. *And* SDIO expandable.
Crappy thumb keyboards are no long-term value.
You'll pay more in medical bills than the time you save is worth. :twisted:

Oh come on! Have you actually tried using a Treo650? The thumboard is very useable and not cramped for me at all, and my hands are not small. I have found it to be very comfortable.
As far as long term use, well..if you use it so much that you get RSI from using the tumboard you probably need to evaluate what's more important in your life anyay - your phone or your wife :lol:
And besides, what kind of RSI's do you get using a stylus to type on a mini screen keyboard? Tapping can lead to all kinds of injuries. And pulling out your little mini-BT keyboard aint gonna get much better than the Treo.
I have used them all and while the Palm OS is laking in some ways compared to WM, and especially Win Mob 5.0, the fact is, as the author of this article clearly states, the form factor of the Treo is really a winner.
If Palm came out with Windows Mobile 5.0 on this form factor, that would really be the best of both worlds in my opinion, but only as long as 5.0 is truly one handed operable, or at least 2 handed operable without ever having to touch the screen. With the Treo I only have to pull out my stylus occassionlly.
