What are you looking for? Are you looking for a "phone" or a "PPC?"

Well both, since it is a PPC Phone.
She currently has the 700wx

If she like the looks and feel of the Treo why not just go for the Treo Pro? Although there are many other devices out there I can say from my own experience you get used to the external QWERTY keyboard. I had my challenges going from the Treo650 to the HTC PPC6700. I was in happy when I got my MotoQ only for the external keyboard.

Just in case you didn't already know CyberMonkey, the Sprint Treo Pro goes on sale Sunday 3/15/2009. It can already be purchased at some Best Buy stores.

Sprint will sell it for $199 on contract. Best Buy currently sells it for $249 on contract, but you can get Best Buy to price match (give you $50 back) once Sprint starts selling it.

Well to answer your question it is a gr8 phone just needs a better battery. I have mine loaded to the hilt and it does everything. You can buy it if you like just reply no contract needed.
