FWIW, I came from a similar background: Tungsten C plus Motorola phone. First tried the Treo 755p, which was a lovely idea crippled by a slow processor and too small keyboard. Then last year bought a Titan (XV6800) and went through the WinMo learning curve. A customized ROM plus a commercial interface I purchased (SPB Mobile Shell, I think) made it usable. However, it never really approached the elegance of the old Palm interface.

As for Categories, if you use Outlook and can port your contacts from Palm to Outlook, the categories will be available on your phone. I can filter by category in my contacts on the TP2. Let me know if you need more info on that.

I am delighted with the TP2; it is a dramatic improvement over the Titan especially with the bundled tweaks installed. WinMo, like most Microsoft products, is not well-thought-out or well-implemented and is daunting for beginners, but once you get through the learning phase it can be made to do just about whatever you want. And the community of users & developers here is amazing in what they will do to help you.
