As you can see from my sig I have had them all with the Touch I sent no text added no tasks or calendar updates and only sent just a few emails even those were have to emails, all because I hated the on screen keyboard. In the end of my touch experiment I was using the stylus and the regular keyboard all the time because my fingers are to big to hit the keys. I am not a touch screen guy I only used the touch for about 3 months before I gave it up. As far as compare they are 2 completely different devices all touch screen to almost no need for a touch screen so its a matter of preference I am a heavy business user I need the qwerty and the improved Phone application that the Treos are known for. These things always come down to personal preference do you want a qwerty and are you willing to give up some screen real-estate to get it. How well do the Touch phone apps relay work for you? Keep in mind if you like to do a lot of tweaking the Treo won't be as adaptable as the touch, different programs will cause issues with the Palm installed software. If you need a qwerty a phone that just works bluetooth that just works and GPS that just works, if you want a PPC that is snappy has an exceptional high resolution screen etc... get the Treo. As far as the battery life, close to the same for me but with both the Treo and the Touch a second battery is a must I paid $24 for my Treo back up battery how much dose the Touch battery cost? Also I just typed up this on my Treo.
