This is why i never considered a Treo to have any advantage over a Blackberry. I can though use my Palm and read books, listen to music and enjoy other types of entertainment while on an airplane. In fact, I will be purchasing a new Palm in October.
As for the calendaring on the 8700, it is fine. I have yet to find anything it can not do.

eBooks huh? I don't think I could stand reading any book on something the size of a Palm or BB. I need an actual book with me on plane trips so I have no need to turn my BB on during flights.
Right now I have two devices I use.
#1 on my list is my 8700. Takes care of all my data needs, I find nothing wrong with the calendar and find it easy to enter my schedule in it. Address book has many options, more than any other device I've owned. I use Notes and Tasks as well. Of course email rocks here and the Internet is fine using Opera Mini most of the time. Oh and Password Keeper is another sweet app.
#2 on my list is my cell, Samsung SGH d807. Why you may ask? For a phone, size factor, integrated camera and video, and MP3 playback with 1 GB microSD. I also like the interface for checking hotmail, aol, and yahoo email accounts rather than using the BB Internet.
BB is a must when I travel for business. When I go out at night to clubs, restaurants, or for a quick ride I just take my cell that is unless I need directions then I also take my BB with Google Maps on it.
If I am leaving for an all day trip my BB and cell come with me. The BB attached to my right hip and my cell fits in my pocket.
