Trying to choose between a T3 and a Treo 600. Can anyone help with advantages of one over the other?
I do a lot of travelling and it would be great not to have to carry both phone and PDA, so the Treo makes good sense. But I understand I would be compromising on screen quality & bluetooth. What else should I consider in such a comparison?
Thanx

It really depends on how much you want a convergent device. Treo 600 is a great convergent device, and it can run most of the apps that T3 can, and you can make phone calls, check your email, do IM and etc.
T3 on the other hand has a great hi-res plus screen and BT. However, most people use the BT on T3 to get online via their BT cellphones. Treo 600 can get online without any help from another device. If you surf the web a lot, the T3 screen is much better than the small Treo screen.
Another thing Treo 600 has is the built-in camera. If you need to take snapshots, it's convenient to have that.
Read our reviews of both devices and weigh in all the pros and cons of these devices base on your requirement.

since it has so many functions, does the treo have battery life issues? eg, can i go 24 hours on a single charge with moderate phone use and moderate-to-heavy pda use?
thanks!

It will likely last you for a day. Talking on the phone and accessing the Net will cost the most of your battery life.
