Yes, I used it as my only mobile phone for the couple of weeks that I had it - I can't say that I noticed any problems with it, but I admit to being a light voice user - I'm way more about the data.

Or you wind up with a device the size of the JasJar. It has a HUGE battery.

Yeah, definitely - I was a bit confused, I was thinking specifically of the Treo-type devices, but since he was using a 4700, you're right, the Jasjar is a close match.

Isn't a big difference that HP hw69xx has wifi, but Treo 700w DOESN'T have wifi? Is Palm kidding? They'd better come out with a version that has wifi, coz come on, that's like the "basic" feature on a handheld these days, no?
