[ale] OT : smartphones

[Jay Finch]

Actually, I have a Treo 650 w/ Sprint - and am looking to go to the 755, 
both of which run Palm OS.

But I hate to admit, I've never tried to sync my Treo up with any OS 
other than windows. (*hangs head in shame*)  I keep a majority of my 
contacts in Outlook.

But to answer Geoffrey's question - Yes, there are providers other than 
AT&T who offer the Palm Smartphone: Sprint. :)

Cheers!
Jay
