So yes, part of his Christmas present will be this. It's unlocked and says it will work on all major networks, so I assume it won't be a problem with our T-Mobile service. I am severely gadget challenged and have never had a palm pilot or anything and have a few questions about how to set it up for him.
First of all, is this a good gadget? If it weren't free, would it have been worth buying? Should we try to sell it on ebay and buy something else?

It's a solid device that is probably the best integrated phone/pda device on the market. You can access corporate and personal email; listen to music; watch movies; browse the web, etc.

If you have any intention of using data services for email, I would strongly recommend getting the unlimited data package from your carrier.

You don't need a palm specific card. Any MMC or SD card will work. I use a 1gb MMC card in mine (king max, purchased from newegg.com), and I have had no problems. The card gives you the ability to download music, video, and programs in excess of the limited on-board memory. I also store all of my email on the card, as it takes up plenty of space.
