I looked at the 8525, but it really looks too big and certainly not pocket size. Also, the one big complaint I have about these units is the difficulty in just using the thing as a phone - there is no external dialpad to quickly and easily dial a phone number.

I guess I should list my primary needs...

1) fit-in-pocket size (Treo 680/750 works, but the 700P/wx doesn't)
2) it's a phone first - a pda device a distant second
3) big, high resolution QVGA style screen for web browsing. Besides voice calls, it would be used for web browsing 75% of the time, games/video 10% of the time and PIM functions 15% of the time - onboard email, about 0%
4) touchscreens are better

I'm abit gunshy to pull the trigger on something expensive - too many interesting things are in the 10 month pipeline, including the Treo Sherlock, HTC Libra, and a few very hot models from LG - including an iphone killer.

Truth be told, I was almost ready to pull the trigger on a Moto Q, but after reading more reviews, it seems the device has too many annoying quirks - many of which are attributed to WM5sp. Digging deep into menus and pressing multiple keys to access the same functions my current phone can do in a couple key clicks is going to get frustrating fast. For example, multiple key strokes just to adjust the volume while in a call.

An example of the almost perfect phone for me - the Sony Ericsson M600 with a camera (alas, it doesn't come with one). I had a SE P910a, which was perfect - except the GPRS browsing speed was a deal killer there.

So in a long winded way, that describes my ideal phone - a SE M600 with a camera or a P910 with EVDO/3G. Neither currently exist, and it's frustrating trying to find a runner up.
