What we think: Palm has improved the menu interface but the keypad is too squashed

We like:
3G; easy email setup
We don't like:
Cramped keypad; lacklustre design
CNET.co.uk judgement:
We like the fact the the 500v is smaller than previous Treos, the proprietary menu interface and how easy it is to setup of email accounts, such as Gmail or Yahoo. We can't help feeling the 500v lacks a wow-factor in its design -- particularly the cramped keypad
