[ QUOTE ] I talked to jason_t ... he had a number of ... grievances... [/ QUOTE ] What a surprise. [/ QUOTE ] Ahahahahhahahha. No, but seriously, I have seen the Q put otherwise mild-mannered people on Jason_Tilt. Just wait a few weeks and you'll start to notice all the things that suck about the Q, especially if other people at your office have better smartphones. scrub

There are a bunch of other phones that I don't have personal experience with that are also probably better. scrub

i noticed the earlier post, but was curious about your specific mention of palms, which you didnt really elaborate on. rj [/ QUOTE ] There are three current gen Treos out in the US, one of which is an entry-level phone that I don't know much about other than having read gadget blog posts that said it was an entry level phone. Then there are two Treo 700s, well, three really. Verizon has Treo 700p and 700w. The 700p runs Palm OS. It's better as a phone/pda but not as powerful in terms of networking, etc. 700w runs Windows Mobile OS. It's got a lot of the annoying quirks of Windows Mobile that you'll find in the Q as well, but there are some tweaks to the Palm version of Windows Mobile that make it a better user experience, plus the touch screen is a big help (the Q doesn't have one). The biggest problem with it is that Windows Mobile memory management sucks and the device doesn't have enough memory, so you have to do a soft reset every few days. Here is an article comparing the 700w and the 700p with more of the detailed differences. Sprint and maybe some other carriers now have a Windows Mobile Treo with twice as much memory which is apparently a much better device, but I haven't used one. It's called the Treo 700wx through Sprint. Here and here are a few more articles about smartphones in general. scrub
