Recent news has covered the release of many new smart phones. We have the new Treo650, the new Sony P910, the new Audiovox PPC 6000, the new Blackberry 7100, and the new Nokia 6670. Recently, I've been speaking via email almost daily with my AT&T (now Cingular) rep. For some reason, the conversation always steers towards his wanting to push the latest from Nokia, Blackberry, etc.

I have a Treo 600. I do remote administration on it. It's slow and painful - you get a small screen, a slow link (although you can pay for a faster one) and a thumbboard. You can scrape by using ssh, doing simple stuff in bash and even some editing in vi, but forget about Terminal Services over a wireless link... I wouldn't be ditching that home DSL line yet.
Also, there are no SD wi-fi cards available for the Treo 600 (or, more properly, no drivers; recall the TreoCentral bounty), and palmOne has stated that they don't yet have drivers for the 650, although they're developing it. I doubt that the Treo will ever work with the SanDisk wi-fi card, since SanDisk aren't keen on writing Palm OS drivers.
