So yesterday I jumped to it and got a hold of our Verizon business rep to finally order the Treo 600. It's about time they got their act together and offered this phone and I'm pretty excited (in an incredibly geeky way) to start using it. Of course, this post on Engadget had me simultaneously feeling smart (for ordering this and not waiting for it to be available through regular channels) and stupid (for not waiting for the Treo 610 to come out).
Generally, I'm not the type to wait for the next model, much to my wife's dismay. I think if you are going to get good use out of the current model, go ahead and get it. There's too much uncertainty in the world to wait for the perfect device (and, frankly, the way Verizon works, it may be years before they give their stamp of approval to the 610, or Ace or whatever they are going to call it).
So, since I haven't used a Palm handheld in about three years, what's the current must-have software for this puppy? And is there anything out there that will help me moblog with Typepad?
You must have AGENDUS Pro, (which will integrate all basic Palm functionality and EMAIL)--it's the BEST I've seen.
I moblog on typepad by emailing a unique typepad address, and don't use any other software for posting. You can set this up thru typepad's control panel.
Verichat for IMing (all major IM programs supported).
Docs to Go supports the MS office Suite.
and Sketcher 2.0 for drawing maps or quick pix.
That's about it for me, but I'm not a super technogeek, just a person who needs to be organized and in contact frequently. Enjoy.

Congrats!
I plan on buying one next week when it becomes availible to the general public, wish I was a business customer.
As far a blogging I read about this new blogging tool for Palm called HBlogger http://www.hexlet.com/products/hblogger/
The site says it supports Movabletype so maybe it will work with TypePad.
