Just wanted to concur with you guys that Palm likes chubby. Went to the local Cingular store and got play with the Trteo 680 for a while. Liked it. The chubbiness is, IMHO the result of have a great 320x320 touch-screen -- so that the "organizer" functions stay at the level of any other Palm device. I think that's Palm's strength: it's a great organizer. I tried very hard to use my current phone's calendar, note taking and other functions, but I can't see things in any way that is useful on the tiny tiny screen; inputting with the alpha-numeric keys is awful. Similarly, I've tried using those fuctions on my iPod (tho I cannot, of course input), and that's barely useful, too. So I can now eliminate by old phone and Palm combo with a 680. Got the educational pricing on an unlocked 680 and a free music package ( w/ 1GB card) for $350 -- which seems pretty reasonable. Do I wish it were thinner? Sure, but I get to eliminate two other devices from my bag -- and it makes that less chubby.
