But I have no clue about the one handed operation of any of those three series of devices.
I know what you mean; though in my case I would probably go for a TX over a Sony since its more recent and has better support. I'd trade the camera for faster CPU since that means its easier to watch videos without transcoding.

I haven't seen the new Nokias yet, but I've played with the 770 before, and I didn't like it all that much. I find that coming from Palm, they feel a bit sluggish in the UI and like you have to do more steps to get the same result. Also, they lack any PIM (contacts/datebook etc) out of the box.

For form factor and size is pretty good, but I didn't find reading on their screens any better than on a Palm. I think for me, the Palms' resolution is high enough (with anti-aliased fonts).

One thing I did like is the web browser on the Nokias seems far better than on Palms from what I've seen.

I haven't seen Fbreader on one though, and might change my mind if its really that great.
