I dunno - seems kind of thick to me - .65"? I guess I don't see how Palm is distinguishing itself from the Q/BJ/Dash phones out there.

WAY more memory is a key part of the differences. Oh, and the cool new home screen is a nice plus as well. :D

It also lacks the touch screen that all other recent Treos have had. More entry level

lack of touch screen doesn't make it entry level. ;)
