So after reading many concerns of the 700p owners and what Palm may or may not do by the end of the month (or the 755p in May), what do you guys think of the Iphone.
I think it could be pretty cool with wifi and bt that works. The screen is very nice and i like the motion detection. The features more than likely will work and not crash on you. Here's what i don't like though..
First problem for me is carrier. I'm married to Sprint.
Second, is the 3rd party apps. I can make my Treo do what i want. Iphone won't record video or voice, and i doubt i'll be able to tether it to laptop. No java on safari from what i've read. Games might be lacking, but are rumored to be available on iphone. Not sure if Iphone will have ability to open docs, spreadsheets, etc.
Third, its all touch screen. Treo still is much easier to use one hand.
Forth, everyone and their mother will want or own an IPhone. If everyone has one, its not so cool..lol
They address the above problems, i'm probably leaving the Palm party. But it would be awhile til Apple brings out the improved version.
Problems with Palm: I will NEVER pay 500 again for something that doesn't get updates. I dug in the wallet on the Treo 300, the 600, and now the 700p. Each experience was worse than before.
Buy a 755p? Are you nuts? I'd be thankful if they just worked the bugs out in the 700p. Still, to hear they have a 755p coming out when they haven't ever released an update for the 700p. Man...i'm wondering how much longer Palm will be around..
