- As a former Palm Treo on Verizon user, let me tell you what you will lose...
1. VZW is much better than AT&T in my area. Yours may be same so check it out before making jump.
2. Multitasking and copy/paste on iphone is not as good or nonexistent compared to palm. But that is as much to do with the fact that Palm used a stylus while iphone is your finger. Most of the time this is a big improvement but the copy/paste function with finger is funky and hard to get to work well.
3. Palm has a ton of free apps available. iphone has many too, but not as many useful free apps. But most of the apps that I used on my Treo are replaced with either free or very cheap apps on iphone.
Compared to the gains of a really great browser and easy/slick interface the only thing that might be a show stopper for you is VZW v. ATT. If I knew then what I konw now, I am not sure I would switch yet. I would wait till October when supposedly 3g is coming to my area to replace the edge network in our area.06-30-2009 10:26 PMLike 0 - jhamilton3TiPb Fourm StaffI used to own the 650 and the Centro.. iPhone definitely takes the cake.06-30-2009 11:31 PMLike 0

I have looked at companion link, but it is very expensive for a sync solution. Reminds me of the early palm days, when you needed pocketmirror to sync with outlook.
You can sync your iPhone straight to Outlook...but not Tasks.07-01-2009 01:32 AMLike 0 - As a former Palm Treo on Verizon user, let me tell you what you will lose...

Does a program like companionlink handle this? I will need to look into it.07-01-2009 08:32 AMLike 0 - 07-01-2009 08:45 AMLike 0

I never thought it would be so difficult to sync a major PIM function with a smartphone.07-01-2009 09:02 AMLike 0 - This was also one of my biggest concerns. I have some friends on att, and they are fairly satisfied. That is all I really have to go on when comparing vzw to att. I have been very satisfied with vzw, both with customer service and their phone service. I am worried I may find out that "It's the network" and spend 2 miserable years.
I used iTunes to sync my email, notes, contacts etc.. MobileMe is so much nicer. I haven't had any issues (PC user here) with outlook (07) and the MobileMe control panel.Last edited by Entertainment72; 07-01-2009 at 11:23 AM.
