I've been using my Treo for a little over half a year. I find that there are a few issues that arise from time to time (random reboots every few weeks), but overall, I think it functions great. I do agree that it probably isn't just comparable to an email/voice tool. It does a lot more. I can check my email, browse the web, and reboot a server either via RDP or SSH depending on the server flavor.
I personally also like the heavy feel of it. The blackberry feels plastic and fragile. But I imagine that's a matter of taste.
As for the one handed use, that's the only way I use my Treo 650. The 5-button pad makes it very versatile. I've got a screen cover that I never open, because I never need to.
I would definitely say that the Treo isn't necessarily the best email/phone solution. But it IS a great phone/email/web/pictures/all-in-one device. And the 700 (windows mobile and palm os coming out this summer) has high speed access, as well as a 1.3 MP camera.
SO yeah, all that to say Treo's are the bomb.
I don't know if you'd call it push email, but I have my gmail account coming to my treo. I also have an Exchange account coming to it, both via Versamail, the included mail client for the Treo.
I've had it running as a webserver/nagios server for the past 3-4 months, first as Sarge was still in testing, and now as stable, and it has not failed me yet. The only time I've had to reboot or anything was when we moved the server to our new rack (not a debian issue). I've not run into any packaging problems, and as for security, it seems pretty solid.
I know it's an old discussion, but I suppose you should ask yourself what you want to run it as. As a workstation, I think sarge is a great step forward for debian; however I don't think it doesn't quite fit the needs of most workstations. But that's because it's strength is as a solid server, where updates are minimal and configuration doesn't necessarily mean a GUI.
I love debian for it's consistency and ease of configuration (once you get a feel for the way packages are configured in/etc).
I'd definitely say give it a go, if only to see the improvements from woody.

Arguing the lack of validity of an Onion article is like arguing the lack of chili cheese in a banana split.

The main difference is that Linus did not reverse engineer the MINIX kernel in order to write Linux's kernel. It's legit.
