[Cialug] OT: Treos & other smartphones

[John.Lengeling at radisys.com]

I have used the Treo 600 (1.5 years) and now have a Treo 650 (9 months). I 
had a lot of minor issues with the 600 but no real major problems.  The 
650 was much better (faster, more reliable) up until I upgraded the 
firmware to 1.15.  This firmware sucked with lots of reboots and weird 
crashes/behavior. I upgraded to the latest 1.17 about 1 month ago and all 
of the weirdness went away.

Each version gets a little bit better, I really like the 650 overall.  The 
web browsing is much better than the 600 ever was.

I'm in the market for a new phone/pda device and I was looking at the
treo 650.
I know some of you on the list have them and was curious about your 
opinion.
Since it's coming out of my pocket I'd prefer using a wifi adapter and
only use the
evdo data network when wifi is unavailable. 

The 700w is coming out soon, but apparently it'll use windows mobile 5.0
instead of the palm os, which IMHO presents a pile of issues. (i.e.
securing the damn thing.)
