Palm products, at least the generations i have used, are relatively unreliable, i can't imagine having a cell phone/calender fail with all of that data on it. No good.
However, it does look like a good phone, and it does what it says it will do well with a user friendly interface so i really can't rag on it too much.
I used to own the 600 and it was buggy as all hell. But my 700p works pretty well, rarely crashes, and never crashed during phone calls like my 600 did. So I don't think bugginess is a big issue any more. However, battery life isn't so hot with the 700p. I always carry a spare batter if I need more than a day of use (mind you, constantly using email and making movies, etc. really drains the battery).
There is an program for Treos to restore data. An option is to have it create a restore point everyday so you don't need to worry about losing data. Easy enough for me.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
