My local Treo guru said the Treo 700 is coming soon, so I'll wait for that. Using a bluetooth headset will avoid "talking into a brick" and makes more hands-free sense anyway. I think my mind is made up. Thanks for the inpuf.

But what was that 1st person point of view 3D map with spoken directions GPS software that I saw? Thomas had it at the Amersfoort meet, but was it PocketPC? That software is a must-have for a PDA.
