Treo 600 - One Handed Operation?

The treo 600 looks very promising (except for the missing Bluetooth - sorry I just had to beat that dead horse cause that was dumb of Treo). Is it easy to use with one hand? Thats an important cell phone characteristic for me because I dont want to use two hands when i want to type a text message or whatever. Im thinking T9 input would work out better than the whole keyboard thing. If the keyboard has to be used with two hands than that pretty much defeats the whole cell phone on-the-go concept. In that case it would make my decision easier to get a Nokia 6600. Looking forward to all the input for this one.

I like. One handed is definaltely possible through menu navigation etc. limited text entry is okay, heavy text requires 2 hands for sure

the only thing i hate about it, is that for us women who has long nails.....

but otherwise its fine with one hand typing.

One handed operation for navigating the screen, dialing phone numbers, and light text entrey is very quick and easy. Like 100thMonkey said, you'll want to use two hands for heavy text entry though.

One-handed text input on the Treo is much easier than 1-handed T9 input... especially when T9 hasn't got the word you want and you have to hit 7777,44,444,8, while doing whatever is sooo important you can only use one hand.

For using any of the text-intensive features like email, sms etc..you do need both the thumbs to enter data. Thats the way the Treo was built..and far better than a regular keypad (Nokia 6600) or simply the screen for stylus-based input (SE P800/P900). I can type faster and virtually perform 98% of all tasks by just using the thumbboard.
