Why do you have to confirm with Verizon? What Godrey said. OTOH, Verizon has the best service, at least where I live, so I'm sticking with them, even though I have to sign a 2-year contract to get the Treo at a discount, and I'm not eligible for an equipment upgrade until Oct. 6. I don't plan

I bought a Palm Treo 650 recently too. It's an excellent PDA, an excellent phone, and has a decent 640x480 camera in it ... But it is most certainly not a replacement for even my Sony DSC-U60 2Mpixel camera. When all I want is the ability to do a snapshot or a short movie clip
