I used to use a Newton (well, I moved up to the 2000 from an earlier one) and after it got stolen I got a Palm V. It was nice to have something smaller, but other than as a searchable phone book I just didn't use it at all. The Newton was outstanding -- a laptop replacement for us (I worked at an IT R&D center at the time).
Now I use a hipster PDA (http://merlin.blogs.com/43folders/2004/09/introducing_the.html) and the "Getting Things Done (http://www.43folders.com/2004/09/getting_started.html)" method by David Allen, with a plain text file for my to do items that I print out duplex/2-up, and synchronize my address info to my phone from Address Book.app. That also allows some nice phone list/etc print outs, particularly now in Tiger, that I keep meaning to play with but haven't yet.
I wouldn't, and don't, use my K700i for PDA functions other than phone numbers -- phones aren't PDAs, and sadly PDAs aren't the Newton. But that's another story, really :-)
