There's the aforementioned media xfer, which I accomplish the same way
with the Treo (sd card). However I need to get Palm data to it
initially, plus sync. I guess their solution is Exch sync but I'd
rather accomplish it via desktop. Haven't had much success w/ Treo and
Exch sync.

That would be a pleasant change.

Verizon (work phone). I wouldn't give them up because I can't remember
the last time I had a dropped call. I have a usb cell modem from them
too - great results.

Thanks for the responses.
