One I have had a palm forever with 36 posts is much more credible.
PS. I didn't say its trash, I said its not all that and a box of chocalate.

And I never said it was a gift from God....I mean, I think "life" is a pretty good gift from God...but that's just me
edit: forgot to add I'm up to 39!! yeah!
It's a shame we have do this on the web instead of with a big orange crayon like you seem to require: Killing the messenger doesn't kill the message, which is that...
...Apple just made something that will make all our Treos look like second rate gear. Even yours. Even though you post a lot. Even though you gots a calcumalator and alarm clockification on your phone!
Are you on or willing to go Cingular for that device?
Again I ask. You willing to go to Cingular for all that?
Time will tell, time will tell.
Innovation and competition in the field will make us all better off.
Myself, iFind the iPhone iNtriguing. However, I am a Sprint/Palm die hard. My Palm's functionality and software library have grown with me over 10 years. I would want to place all that functionality and software into a new device.
1st Strike (transfer of 10 years of software and productivity habits)
I have 1,000 minutes, free roaming, free Powervision $20 plan, free 6pm nights, free 500 text messages, free mobile to mobile , et ecetera . . . . . . for $35 monthly, plus $6 for equipment protection equals $41.
2nd Strike (Cost of new plan at a new carrier) ($480 to $600 more a year just on data.)
I have over 300 RealPlayer songs bought since my Palm Tungsten days. Is iTunes going to replace them?
Strike 2.5
The iPhone (if performance pans out as promised) will carve out a significant market and move the market forward, as well. Will I have one soon? Probably not, but I am glad it came to market.
Cheers, Perry.
What some of you are forgetting is that Palm is not standing still, no matter how it may appear.

Why did you change from a 650 to 680 then?
Sounds reasonable, expensive but what the hell. But soon it will be time to scrape up the $600 for the iphone, $200 to get out of your current contract and increase your monthly charges to boot. Sure the iphone is cool but is it that cool.
Take an hour to educate yourself. Watch the scrolling contacts, the full page web browser, the Google Maps function. Watch it all. Or, for a quick earful from David Pogue, a Treo admirer, go here. Or look at what happened to Apple's stock price today.
Then you tell me. I think it's a quantum leap.

I too read that the battery was not removable and found it difficult to believe. It reminds me of the days when the Treos had non removable batteries and we would just watch them die slowly; it was really quite painful. I like the Apple phone a lot, but, if true, I consider this one of the most serious design flaws. With heavy internet use the battery will be dead in no time at all.......including a non-replaceable battery. Who ever heard of a cell phone without a removable battery. Jobs totally lost me there!:shake:
