Reviews of the Palm i705

CNET Review
The Good: Always-on wireless e-mail; elegant design; expansion slot for adding memory.
The Bad: Mail application isn't industrial strength; can't use the unit as a cell phone; only 8MB of memory for e-mail.
The Bottom Line: Though it's a significant update to the Palm VIIx, the i705 faces very stiff competition from rivals RIM, Handspring, and Samsung.
