This is not Fido, but I am sure some people here will be interested in
my comments, so here are my observations:

- Screen is too tiny (effective usable size is less than 1/2 the area of
my Visor)
- Too much Palm software has problems
- Cannot connect to my 8390
- Keyboard is nice.

Overall concept is good, but needs refinement, and a bigger screen plus
it needs to use the whole screen. Even the Sony provided applications do
not use the full width of the screen.

WiFi access is nice, but too expensive and too difficult to find.
Bluetooth may solve those problems, but $1000 for a crippled PDA plus
another $500 for a Bluetooth phone is too much for me, and I do not want
a Sony Ericsson Phone until they can get them right.

Looking at the announcement for PalmOS 6, it may solve a lot of these
problems, but I don't trust sony to allow an upgrade.

Thanx, I appreciate your feedback a lot.

I've decided to wait, after all, the new models like T3 and new Axim are
around the corner.
