Works great for me and definitely does not give me the drama that a Treo does...

No prob. Keep in mind that this phone has no direct sync desktop software (whereas Palm has Palm Desktop) and so you need to use Microsoft Outlook...

Yup. My 910i has a 512MB Memory Stick Duo which has all the music I need...

Although the phone does play videos, I have not tried to load anything onto it. Besides, what can you put on a memory stick these days that is 512MB that is of significant length?

Well, again, I wouldn't be thinking that the p910i is your media center all of a sudden. However, because I do have this device, I don't carry an MP3 player anymore...

The main selling point is that the p910i does a good job as a dayplanner and a cellphone...and it's less drama queenish than a Treo 650. But, that' IMHO...

well i ended up gettin this phone, and HOLY FUCK, what an upgrade to the sidekick 2, love this bitch shit....and its lighter and smaller shit....
only downside i see is the weak ass camera and the smaller keyboard, but the touchscreen and video recording makes it a good compromise,

THAT MANUAL IS HUGE.....anyone want to break down the more neater features of the phone for me?

No forums for me on the p910i...But, you could and see what you can get?



Never used the device to IM people...but, keep in mind that your data bill will be huge if you're not careful.
