Re: Anyone coming from Touch Pro
I went from a 6800 (Mogul) to a Touch Pro, to a Treo Pro, back to the Touch Pro, back to the Treo Pro, and now to a Touch Pro 2.
I love the from factor of the Treo Pro -thickness, weight, feel in the hands, etc. You can't beat it IMO. It's a beautiful device!
I really did like the idea of a forward facing keyboard, but for me, and I'm not fat fingered even, I just had problems typing. My biggest problem seemed to be that the space bar was just slightly more raised than the other keys and I constantly hit it instead of the actual keys I was aiming for around it. Perhaps that was just my device??? I hated the keyboard on my TP, possibly because of the way the keys were not offset, no real spacing, etc. I absolutely love the keys on the TP2 though. Best out there, again IMO. But it's a slider and you have to know which you're going to want or be able to live with.
My real gripe was the screen size on the Treo Pro. Perhaps if I hadn't come from a 640x480 VGA TP I might not have been concerned with the 320x320 SQVGA on the Treo so much, but it just wasn't the same having used the TP. I also had issue with certain programs / games not playing well with a square screen (320x320 instead of the traditional 240x320). The screen on the TP2 is better than the TP, so enough said about that!
Reading your original post though I don't think the form factor of the TP or TP2 is going to work for you. They are, as you noted, considerably bigger than the Treo Pro, length and definitely thickness.
If you're okay with the screen on the Treo Pro then I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's an awesome ond-handed device too with the extra hard buttons.
Good luck with which ever way you go.
