Great for small/home business

Very pleased, after 1 year of use!!! I have home business with Reliv, sync 3000+ contacts, I use the Excel and Word on the phone which is very handy. I use it as an MP3 player during my workouts and take notes on it during meetings, the keyboard works great for me, average size hands. While I am walking around I take voice notes on the recorder. I have several games that look amazing on the screen.
I love the fact that it comes with the Microsoft programs (word, excel) plus a great file viewer that is awesome for zooming and moving around documents on the smaller screen. Very durable, dropped several times and still works well. Very reliable, I maybe have to do a reset once a month, if that (where my prior phone, the Samsung i600 I had to reset almost every day).
The cradle is great, especially since you can charge the spare battery and the phone at the same time. And the extended battery is included is another big cost saver. The battery life using the standard batter is great for phone use, I usually get 2-4 hours of solid talk time. Wi-Fi does drain the battery faster, but then I would just throw the extended battery on there and lasts as long as I need it.
I got the phone for $450 in July 2005 (after rebates), which I thought was a great value considering the included software, extended battery, and accessories. I would have spend more than that with most any other smartphone and then buying seperately the additional software that is not included on other phones and extended battery.
Wishes:
1. CAMERA!!!! (would like to see 3Meg picels)
2. thinner would be great (it is a little thick)
3. lighter (it is a little heavy)
4. non-volatile system memory (I had to reload the phone after I was unknowingly out of range hiking for a few hours while it searched in roaming mode till it went dead, it only took me 20 minutes to reload though)
5. Windoews Mobile 5.0 and A2DP bluetooth mode
6. the lock switch on the side is NOT accessible when the phone is in the cradle, I would like this accessible.
