However, I particularly liked this comparison shot (a bigger version is in the article) including the four "messenger" Windows Mobile devices, that is, devices with a smaller screen and non-slide-out thumbboard. It's obvious the iPAQ hw series are the largest and the i320 the smallest, but it's remarkable how competitively-sized the Treo is compared to the Q -- in fact, it looks narrower. The Treo does really feel like a "smartphone with a touch screen and Pocket PC compatibility", and Palm has done a decent job striking a balance between the two platforms and helping to blur the Windows Mobile platform a little further.
