    Although it is not quite available yet, you must also check out the next HP iPAQ 6500 - it is the size of a Blackberry 7230, but so much more capable; quad-band phone with EDGE, 1.3Mpix camera & LED flash, Bluetooth (no WiFi), GPS!!!!, and the usual PPC2003SE stuff (hopefully upgradeable to WindowsMobile5.0 in Oct or so).

    And here is a link to some recent forum comment about the size (smaller than a normal iPAQ), battery life (better than a normal iPAQ, not as good as a Blackberry!) and built in keyboard (very similar to Blackberry).

    It is already released in Germany & UK (in theory at least!) and I'm hoping to see it in Australia in Aug or Sept..
