There was an unofficial driver hacked up, but reports say it makes the Treo continiously power cycle until you hard reset it to factory defaults.

I need iSync support. I'm not going to invest in a PDA that needs me to manually sync the contents like I'm doing to paper. Plus I like PalmOS, it's simple, intuitive and almost fault free. Looking at the specs and thinking about it, I think I'm going to go with the TX and try and squeese a quad band phone out of the price difference to the Treo 650. The Treo is nice, but it's aged a little since it was released. I'm probably going to use this PDA for 2 years, so I'd prefer more specs and a modular 3G data mechanism (ie a seperate phone) allowing my piconet be upgraded more gracefully then "all at once" Because it fails on the dealbreaker.
