Treo 650 or SX66 PocketPC?

The Dell Axim50v has vga. And bluetooth. And wifi.
Mize, do you work for Intel? I ask because my brother recently asked me the same question since he gets to choose between these for work.
Edit: If it were me I'd choose the Treo. You never mentioned what you'd like to use the phone for besides talking. Anticipated use will surely affect the decision.

No. I work for a small subsidiary of a large engineering conglomerate. Most of the parent and other companies are going blackberry, but I find them somewhat limitting and expensive. The way our security is set up makes the Treo a tough one. I'd only be able to get to email via an html interface or some yet-to-be-determined sych software.
The PPC route has a client for our VPN (SecureClient) though I hear it can be flakey.
Anyway, main use is email, calendar, a bit of word/excel and web browsing.
Ah. You might be able to get a compact flash EDGE card for it.Mize said:
But you're right: if you're looking for a phone/pda, this isn't it.

There is a PalmOS VPN client that is supposed to work with the CheckPoint VPN-1 firewall. It's called movianVPN, but I don't know if it supports the Treo 650. I also am having a hard time getting our IT folks to send me all our crypt settings to I can try it out next week...
THAT would be nice.
Forget Siemens. Review here.
PocketPC is nice features-wise, but the power management/battery life generally sucks _badly_. I'd choose a Palm gadget over that anytime if you're about to use it for any serious work. If you're looking for a (more or less) multimadia capable toy with awful battery life but with lots of windows stuff, go for PocketPC.
