Treo @ CompUSA

Was at my local CompUSA this morning, and saw that they have the Treo 180 in stock. It's a bit smaller than I thought: about as tall as my Nokia 8210, roughly 2/3rd's wider, and just a bit thicker due to the flip-up part. Not too bad, but still too big for my belt. They didn't have it powered, so I could not do much more than touch it. The keys seemed really tiny, I had trouble pressing just one key (I have no such problems with the Zaurus).

Dan Bricklin's review made the important point that the device has an algorithm to figure out which key you intended to press. That feature is absolutely necessary.
