The Best Buy on Strang Line has the Wii on the shelf! Not just one, but about 30 of them. They weren't there this morning according to one guy

Nintendo is notoriously bad about sending enough merchandise to stores. The CompUSA I had worked for, which was something like the fifth-largest in the company, and served the meaty part of Silicon Valley, received a grand total of two GameCubes for the release day... Similar situation with other Nintendo hardware.
It makes me wonder just -how- N is selling as many Wiis as everyone says they're selling. On the surface, they should have sold maybe 5, given what I've actually seen in stores.
The puzzling thing is that the DS Lite has no problem showing up on the shelves and remaining in stock, and it's N's MOST popular item.
In spite of my loathing for all things Microsoft I got a Windows Mobile phone in February. It multitasks really well and the landscape slide-out keyboard is essential for it to be usable for email. IE is especially impressive-- so far I haven't found a web page I can't view, other than ones like Reuters that purposefully redirect to a sanctimonious "your browser sucks, upgrade" page. The Palm OS was decent in 1999 when I bought my IIIx, but they haven't done much else to it since.
It works pretty well as a phone; my only complaint is how slow the phone application is to display what the phone is actually doing. It takes a second or two to show I've hung up, but I don't talk on the phone much anyway. I think mine is the one you're talking about, the HTC 6700.
I dunno how ActiveSync works on a Mac. I've never tried to get it to work in Linux either (even though there are apps that claim to work)-- I just back up to a MiniSD card and periodically copy the card to my Linux laptop.

1) How well does it work as a phone? The last one I tried, the PPC-6700, sucked as a phone.
2) How good is the Mac support? (I'm wagering that Mac support is nonexistent, not that Palm is much better at it)
