Mine should be delivered to my door by 5pm tomorrow. Any advice?

install the firmware update from palm.com...install filez and treoalarm (both are freeware), turn off bluetooth/ir when you dont need it...umm, turn up/down the brightness as you like it.

How reliable are these phones down the road? What's the average life-span?

I've had my Treo 650 for a year and a half, and it's been dropped at least a dozen times. There is definitely cosmetic damage, but no other problems.

The phones are physically solid, but I've found the software to be problematic even in somewhat light use. My wife regularly complains of "out of memory" issues. GSM ones are supposedly worse than CDMA when it comes to this, too (we have CDMA).
