Google for several sites. However, I found the Blackberry forum at the
Cingular website very helpful, in addition to the sites that you referred
me to.

Yep, one of my reasons for my choice, though the code has been sold back
to Palm for use. There's lot's of speculation on what they may do.

And the winner is... Blackberry. The Treos don't appear to be able to
sync with Pilot-link, or connect in any way to OS/2. I went back and
forth, and while I don't remember all the details (can't sync with USB,
Bluetooth required, usability, support for other OSes, etc.), it didn't
appear that eCS would be better on one as opposed to the other. In fact,
it may be that I will need to save data on my son's iBook, and maybe
ultimately buy a Mac. Perhaps I'll be able to import or export between
those.

What I fear most is the possibility that I may have to stop using MR/2 ICE
and Relish.
