Summary: what is better. Pocket PC phone or a smaller form factor?
Review: This is an excellent choice if you need to do lots of email and sometimes check attachments while on the road. Also good for sms and messenger, as it is easier to input text in the screen with the stylus than with the tiny keys of regular phones. But if your needs are more about reading email (not answering it) and having calendar and contacts synchcronized with your server or PC, a smartphone or any other new generation phone is a bettter choice because of the form factor. The big size is a price you have to be willing to pay for the luxury of working confortable in a bigger screen.

Agree with all the other reviews, the AT&T service is bad, but I have found that this phone has much better reception than the Orange smartphone and Motorola smartphones in the AT&T network.

If you are a frequent Intl traveler, be aware this is not a tri band phone... check the networks of the places you travel more frequently before buying this.

Summary: Clunky and not very functional
Review: This phone bills itself as "international" with two GSM bands, but on a recent trip to London and Dubai I could not get it to work at all and had to revert to my tri-band Sony Ericsson Ti68, so if you travel out of the USA think twice! Also, on weekends, I found the added size of the SX-56 needless and reverted to my smaller phone. Windows CE is less intuitive than the Palm OS - CE does not prompt for confirmation of entries, leaving you wondering if they were accepted. One great feature of the SX-56 is the speakerphone ability, not common in a handheld - but overall I would say stick with a Palm plus a small mobile phone.

Summary: BEST DAMM PHONE OUT THERE
Review: This phone is amazing, it is God's gift to us. It does everything I want in a phone and much much more. Sure it a little bit big but what can you say it performs a million functions. Listen I have had my share of phone, is by far the best. All I have to say is what more can you ask for....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best thing since the cell phone
Review: Used to have a PDA in one pocket, a cell phone in the other with a pager on my belt and my mp3 playet in my top pocket. In a word it sucked big time.

This got it all into one device, and my monthly bill went to $60.00.

40 for the phone and 20 for data on Tmobile.

Best thing I ever bought!!
