I have one which I gave up using as a cellphone, because my wife was always saying the signal was poor when I phoned her from out of town. I found it related to the state of charge. My current cellphone works fine even when only on half charge but the Treo was c@#p when it was like that. Still, it works well as a PDA, SMS device, and email composer! And for checking emails as well provided you set it to only download headers, and only download those ones that are urgent. I used to find that my travels always seemed to coincide with the kids sending me photos etc that played havoc with the Vodafone bill until I set it to headers. Have a great trip.	John H (8)

The local Telecom guys grinned wryly and said these devices are aimed at the millions of people who never leave big cities. Best phone I ever owned was a Kyocera and I still think of reactivating it. My Nokia is easier to text with and can take photos but the Kyocera beat everything hands down for range and battery life.	Winston001 (3612)

534018	2007-03-21 02:19:00	Ah..............good point. So I can't hook it up to GSM? It wouldn't matter if I decided to only use it as a PDA.	Winston001 (3612)
