Unless you are dealing with those 1/15 scale bricks and budget pork chops. The 650 isn't microscopic, but it is small and part of its size reflects a larger color screen that is great for web surfing and yes reading/composing e-mail. Also has outstanding integration of contact databases, phone, mail etc. Works fantastically well for business e-mail, although some folks have a tendency to write unintentionally curt replies to well-thought out messages, making themselves sound rude and thoughtless. By the way what is wrong with the usual Blackberry and its keyboard? Seems to work well for just about everyone on Wall Street. by Treo User The comment that "the Treo 650...[is] as huge as a brick...like pressing a pork chop against your face" is absurd hyperbole.

Anything more than a couple of lines is a waste of time. You can speed things up by using SMS shorthand—"C U l8r"—but that ain't gonna cut it if you need to write a serious business e-mail.
