Pros: Library of Palm programs, ergonomics as a phone and PDA, size, reliability
Cons: Keyboard, software migration, documentation, no Bluetooth dialing

Cons: No ring profiles, spell check, back key. Inefficient contact list.

Pros: Small, relatively lightweight PDA phone.
Cons: Very small, closely spaced keys.

Pros: Has so many features and it's small.
Cons: Too delicate for me.

Pros: Excellent for surfing Internet, Texting, talking, using Word/Excel, listening to music.
Cons: Awful for using camera and email functions - very slow.

Pros: Functions as a phone, camera, and PC
Cons: the keyboard is small and hard to text with

Pros: Microsoft Word, Excel, GPS, Facebook App
Cons: Things aren't very easy to find and you need to pay to use certain applications.
