It will be good to have another option other than the iPhone or BB.
Palm has been dying by inches for years; could someone please just shoot it and put it out of its misery already?
Make one with a newer OS, slide-out keyboard, and I think you have a hit. Even with no new features, the old OS still outshines newer versions. Of course, if you haven't used a Treo 650 or similar device with a Palm OS, I don't know that you can accurately comment.
I use either my Treo 650 or my iPhone. One is a smart-phone, the other more like a thin-client. Both are nice, and no one device is likely, ever, to suit every user. Opinions are great, as are cell-phone choices.
really thanks a lot

Flying in the face of the iPhone I instead purchased the Centro (not the greatest phone on the planet, but it used the same OS as my Zire, which meant I could transfer over my entire collection of addresses, tasks, calendar events, etc.) about 6-months ago. While the iPhone is clearly a more attractive device, an activity rich device, a modern device, etc. I couldn't afford the $30/month for Internet access (and what is the point in having the iPhone if you aren't going to go on the Internet with it?).
The Centro and its OS do everything I really need on a daily basis: texting, phone calls, calendar events, tasks, reminders, etc.
While I have my doubts that Palm will be able to find a growth niche between the iPhone and Blackberries (especially with the advent of the Android OS), I do wish them the best of luck and wish that more folks would recognize the elegance of their rather dated, but still quite effective software.

- The issue between "new" phones (even if they aren't new), is that people have a choice. You can be a "sheep" and follow what everyone else has OR you can pick a phone that works for you. That phone may be one that simply makes calls or one that does "everything."

While the iPhone has reached a very broad audience, I don't know a single blackberry user who bought one on their own--without their company either requiring it or buying it for the consumer. Why would you?
I still use either the iPhone or my old Treo 650. If you haven't seen a PalmOS 650, I suggest you find someone who has one to see how similar the interface is between the iphone and the Treo. If Palm had updated the Palm OS using a non-GPL OS (BSD) earlier, we might have had a serious contender prior to the iphone.
I still like the clean interface and the large icons of the Palm OS--not to mention that nice touchscreen that never required a stylus (if you didn't want to have to use it).
