 Huh. I've been fine with both of those.

 Huh. I don't do much browsing with my 650 (no data plan, too pricey; though I
found a way to get a 14.4 connection that costs only plan minutes which I use in
a pinch).

 I've had cards pop out if I *dropped* the phone, but not just from normal handling.
I got a rubberized casing for it to protect it from such impacts.

 I've *never* had an issue syncing my 650 with Jpilot. What did you see, so I can
look out for it?

 Were I buying a new phone, I'd look seriously at the new Palm Centro. Only $99
(with contract) and essentially equivalent specs to the 700p. It uses the microSD
card, though, which is a pain to extract and handle because it's so small... but
it won't ever fall out. :->

 It's only available right now from Sprint but I gather that'll change in a few
months, conceivably sooner.

 Sincerely,
