A780 v. E680/E680i v. A1200 v. other PDA phones

I've been considering a PDA phone combo for a while now and haven't pulled the trigger considering the size of these phones. My sister had Treo 650, which she seemed to like, but I am looking for something preferably more compact than that phone. It seems like the A780, E680i and the A1200 fit my criteria. I was wondering if anyone has used a combination of these phones and if anyone has any feedback on their recommendations.

I have already read the A1200 and E680i reviews, and am trying to find more information on all three phones, but it is always good to hear from people on this board who have personal knowledge.

I understand that the A1200 is the newest of the group and would expect to pay a premium for it ($550 on eBay, at last check), but is it worth it?

Factors that are important to me are: size, ease of use, quality reception, speakerphone, bluetooth, and a decent camera. Unlike many of you, I won't be doing much modding, nor will I be adding many utilities or games. I would primarily be using this for making and receiving phone calls, as well as keeping track of my schedule. These phones may be a bit fancy for my stated purposes, but I figure that I've had the same Nokia for a few years now and it might be time for an upgrade.

Also, if not any of these Motorolas, can anyone recommend any other PDA phones?

Also, I will be using it on Cingular and would prefer a world phone (on the few occassions that I travel).

All three are very similar from a feature-set perspective. PDA functionality is would be the same in all three. A1200 will have the best camera of the three @ 2MP and A2DP for stereo bluetooth. It really comes down to form factor.

The E680i has an exposed touchscreen with a manual lock/unlock slider. It has only a virtual keypad (as does the A1200). I don't really like the erognomics of it. It's kind of bulky.

The A780 has the benefit of a physical keypad on the outside and you can use it like a candybar phone without opening the flip. Otherwise, you can use the virtual keypad.

A1200 has a great size and great look. It's only slightly thicker than a razr. No pysical keypad.

Lastly, E680i uses standard SD memory card, while the A780 and A1200 use micro-SD/transflash. The standard SD comes in larger sizes and is cheaper.
