However, I still think that there is more good about the Treo 750 and 680 than there is bad. I'd be pretty happy with either one. Everyone has preferences...there are some devices I have never tried and don't ever plan to so if Neo doesn't like the Treo than that means there is an extra one out there for those who want one!

And every red blooded PPC lover knows that a REAL PPC doesn't have a square screen. People didn't fall in love with the square screen they fell in love with a QVGA one. Now Palm thinks they can just mosey on in and make it square and that's how it's gonna be. I wish M$ never coded in the 240x240 option in PPC.

Can you imagine if Dell started shipping the AXIM's with 240x240 screens...

As a Cingular Rep I got a ton of arguments about the Treo, more than any other phone. The 680 and 750 might be better though, I havent used either yet.

And sorry, it is NOT the best form factor. That's completely your opinion. I and many others beg to differ. thank you very much.

The Treo 750 is a beautiful, elegant and powerful device -- one of the best on the market -- and though I wish it had a full-sized QVGA (or better yet, VGA) screen, slightly larger keyboard and Wi-Fi, it's nonetheless one of the most superb and well thought-out devices out there. That said, my biggest stumbling block in owning a Treo has nothing to do with the Treo itself. It's Hillary.

Hillary works down the hall. Well, "works" might be a very liberal use of the verb. She mostly shops for clothes on the Intarweb and performs maintenance on her immaculately manicured nails, whether it's painting, filing or removing polish. And that's when she actually comes in to work. Hillary owns a Treo 650. She's 22, maybe 23, and uses that Treo 650 to constantly text message her other just-out-of-college friends, all of whom I can only imagine are saying roughly the same thing: "O my gawd, did u see Jordan last nite?!" "My boss just gave me work to do. What a jerk!" "Can't make dinner 2nite, have a tanning appt." "Luv this Treo! It's so deck!" Hillary couldn't care less about mobile technology; she owns a Treo because it's what all her friends own.

In other words, the Treo is a brilliant device that has been fast adopted by the masses -- including the "Hillarys" of the world. That's great for it, and awesome for Palm. But I want something different, something unique. I want something that gets me excited every time I take it out of my pocket. I want a phone that thrills me with a relentless reminder of the extraordinary possibilities of mobile technology.

That's why I carry a Hermes. That's why I carry a Universal. That's why I will carry an Omni.

Cheers!
