Palm has done a lot of unique tricks to the OS to make it more phone like, like reject calls with SMS, the green key brings up the caller history, easy access to the dial pad, hard keys for email, calendar, etc.
I prefer it to other WM devices, but it really depends on your needs and expectations.
Battery life is just like every WM device on the market: blah. It'll also depend on what you are running i.e. push email. I get though a day with 70% left easily.

I would have to agree with Mal here. I think the 800w is the best "phone" I've every had. The little tweaks, or features, or extras (or whatever you want to call them) that Palm adds really enhance the usability of the device. In addition to the hardware keys for specific tasks (calendar, email, ect.) I really love the option key.
I've also noticed a big increase in battery life when I switched from Seven Email to a real Exchange server.
Oh, and the battery life...I've never had a Windows Mobile phone that has done much better than my 800w or my 6700. Not even my Centro was much better and my 650 was actually horrible, much worse than my 800w (but that may be a localized case).
