Bob,

There was a time I'd have clawed my way through a crowd to buy one. Now,
as an owner of a Zaurus SL-5600 and a Treo 600, in my opinion there's no
contest between the two. The Sharp is too big & bulky, and can't place a
phone call. Like my SL-5600, the SL-6000 is aimed almost exclusively at
the corporate market. That means that support for individual buyers will
be slim to non-existant.
