Palm Treo 750v

I was contemplating getting a new phone for my 3G line. I shortlisted the E70 & SE P990i. Then I saw the 750v at the shop. For those who are not familiar yet:

It looks good & feels nice to hold. Unfortunately I was not able to test it out the functions. My impressions of the phone itself compared with the E61 are: It feels solidly built too. It's narrower than the E61 so it apeears quite small compared to it. Although the 'rubberised' feel rear part of the phone is alot deeper. The QWERTY keypad seems closely spaced but it feels tactile & has a nice click sensation when you press it. That's about it.

Has anyone got this smartphone yet? I'm wondering whether it's worth getting. I have reservations about the E70 because of the bugs people experience & I don't like the UI on the 990i. I used to own a Palm Tungsten so using the UI is nothing new to me & the layout is the closest to the E61.

Agile Messenger Subscribers

Anyone subscribe to Agile Messenger? Particularly Nokia users.

After you have paid for the subscription, is it possible to transfer the licence/subscription to another phone if during the period of your subscription you upgrade to a new phone?

Any Nokia E70 users?

Since the E61 doesn't have camera functionality, I contemplating getting the E70 instead. Anyone owns/uses this phone?

If so, what is your experience so far in terms of using it. How well does it adopt the use of applications on it like IM (Agile Messaging etc) & other 3rd party applications people normally use. Particularly how it adapts the applications (& themes) in 'keyboard' orientation. How is the performance of the camera? I also understand there's a pause when converting from phone 2 'keyboard' orientation. How long is that pause & does it happen when going back the other way. Any other relevant points worth noting.

TIA.
