The big problem I have with GPE is not that there's no synch facility, but that I couldn't see how it replaced teh email app address book, i.e. how I would send a message to someone using an address from GPE contacts - other than cut and paste.
Lack of alarms on the calendar is another issue but I synch with my Nokia 6320 anyway so I'm not that bothered about that.

@ desktop:
Psion was so ahead of its time. We'd all be here on an EPOC board if Psion had put out a tablet-like device instead of just keyboarded clamshells.
Someone should put together a master list of features that are desired in a PIM suite for the 770. Then devs can compete with each other to see how fast they can check things off the wishlist.
My big two: Palm-like Calendar, in that I can write *directly* onto the timeline (no separate entry screen); and appointments that are *stacked* (as they are in Palm Calendar), not side-by-side (like Palm Desktop/Outlook/PPC) -- side-by-side kills being able to read the entries.

Psion did, but it didn't have HWR and it wasn't a consumer device:

Holy cow. I saw that once at a trade show (PC Expo?). Forgot all about it! What a contrast between it and the 770, eh?

Thanks all for your advice. I share Mike Cane's views that the 770 needs better PIM apps. Well, PIM apps are more important than connectivity for me in a small device I carry everywhere, and I don't want to carry a Palm and a 770, so I won't get a 770 until it has PIM apps that are comparable with Palm's.
What I would really like for calendar is a way of interfacing with ics file, it's a connected tablet after all and I would like to be able to view or better modify a shared calendar (this format is used by SunBird, iCal & co.
