I've been holding out to buy a Blackberry because I've always felt they look more like a PDA than a cellphone. I have always said I'd buy one when they release a device the size of a small cellphone. Well I finally found that device but it's not a Blackberry or Treo.
My new Audiovox 5600 is the smallest device in the world that runs Windows Mobile. I've had it for a few days now and I can't find anything I don't like about it. It has real-time email, web browsing and MSN/ICQ just like the other devices, but it is at least 25% smaller. Despite the small size it has a HUGE display. And because it runs Windows there are a lot of add-on applications that you can install.
The coolest part is the familiar applications like Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player (which plays videos and MP3s). I downloaded a free ICQ/MSN/Yahoo chat client so I'm always connected. And of course Solitaire is included just like every other version of Windows.
I'd never even heard of this device when I started looking for a new phone. What sold me was that it does everything the Treo/Blackberry do, but it's a lot smaller, and it runs Windows.
The only thing lacking is a full-sized keyboard so if you must have that, get the Blackberry or Treo. Otherwise I seriously suggest checking this one out before you buy your next cellphone.

P.S. I'm not looking to get into a war with Blackberry or Treo users who love their cellphones!
