My dad is in the same position you're in. I'm trying to convince him to get the Motorola E815 because it's already more than he needs but wow is it a great phone with a lot of features.
- 1.3 megapixel Camera
- Video Capture and Playback
- MP3 Player
- Bluetooth
- Speakerphone
- External Memory transflash card
- interior and exterior screens

Axim?
Seriously, the only one I've liked out of those two is the Treo.
Daily driver 1: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport "S"
33" BFG Mud-Terrain KM2s, lots of Rough Country gear - bumper, 2.5" lift, swaybar disconnects, Superwinch 10,000lb winch, Detroit Locker in rear D44 axle, custom exhaust, K+N filtercharger, Superchips-tuned.
Daily driver 2: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT
COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.

I like my Treo 600, it doesn't have Bluetooth but I like everything else. The 650 has Bluetooth.
The Treo will pretty much do all that MAlby7 listed (don't know what the camera res is offhand) but I like that you can run a crapload of PalmOS programs; I have my pilot logs on an Excel spreadsheet, I can edit it right there on the phone.

Scooba Steve, you can keep your plan, but the cost of an ESN change on Bellus is $25. Yes I can SEEM Edit your motorola to enable all the hidden features that Bellus took out. All the V710 users are doing the same too.

bell never charges me for ESN changes, so that doesnt really matter.
The only other thing that bothers me about getting the palm is the internet data costs.
i hear theyre horrendous.

If you want to do away with internet charges altogether, you can have them disable it. I'm not enabling mine until it becomes more reasonable.
High speed at work and home, I don"t need to check my email in between.

If you want internet, get a Danger Hiptop with the $20 unlimited hiptop internet data option on Fido. thats the cheapest you will find anywhere.

Paolo's right about the data being cheapest on Fido, but it's availability is ass without the Rogers upsell
I say bugger bellus and get a Rogers plan, then get one of these 2:
![[Image: hp_ipaq_350x480.gif]](http://www.shoprogers.com/images/hp_ipaq_350x480.gif)
HP iPAQ h6320
or it's big brother:

HP iPAQ hw6515
I prefer the first of the two because it has a detachable keyboard vs the second which doesn't, however the second has an embedded camera and no antenna sticking out of it... both run on Windows Mobile tho, so that's a good thing

How about bugger Rogers as they're damned their PAYG customers by doubling up on their email charges. Assholes.

It's hard to say, I think there both in around the same range, but i guess just go with what you prefer. I've been a bell customer for a long long time, plus I work there so I'm pretty one-sided on the whole thing, and I do no that bell has more covereage around north america then rogers, but look around, find the best deal and go with that.
