Audiovox 6600. Verizon.

Not too bad with a slide out keyboard.

trpenner,

I have an unlocked Imate GSM/GPRS PDA2k using T-Mobile as
my service provider. The PDA2k is identical to the SX66
in all ways except that it has Built-in wifi, whereas the
Verizon SX66 does not (They want you to pay for their hi-
speed wifi...but you can still get an SD Wifi card) To
address your issue, I highly recommend this phone with a
bluetooth headset. It is a full size PDA so it is bigger
than the Treo 6xx and all cell phones. However, using a
bluetooth heaset all but eliminates the bulk factor
because you don't have to pull out the PDA when you want
to talk on the phone. I orginally had a Ericcson T60 w/bt
to connect to my HP Ipaq..but was tired of carrying two
devices.
I also, bought the Treo 600 for my wife and like it as
well. But if you are a power user and willing to fork
over the $$ you will not be disappointed.

Essential must haves for this PPC Phone:
Microsoft Voice 1.5
Bluetooth Headset
Bluetooth GPS
XCPUScaler - CPU Optimizer/battery management
- Get full days work of heavy use with power to spare.
- Gives processor ability to auto scale from 100mhz-472mhz
based on use..which increases battery performance.

Hope this helps.

SK.
