Either way, the point is that most PALM OS units come, out of the box, with office apps that are far superior to the Pocket versions of Word and Excel. For me, that isn't a deal break (obviously, because my primary PDA is a Dell Axim!). I guess my main goal was to rebute the suggestoin that a Windows Treo would necessarily be a much desirable phone than a Palm OS Treo. There are good reasons why some users prefer the Palm OS. And, as a longtime user of both Palm OS and Pocket PC, I'd probably prefer the Palm for smartphone purposes (because it is more stable).
