>>> Sure. Your problem is you started with the Treo. Yeah, you're probably right! There really wasn't much else to choose from back in Oct 2004. Now since sprint keeps giving us free replacements and upgrades, we can't get away from them!

Palm and WM Treos kinda suck at that... I appreciate your points Eric.

We are > accustomed to the treos, and using a device with one hand... The Treo's screen is half size because of the keyboard. The keyboard is also half the size on the Treo - I could type much faster on my HTC. Sliding out the keyboard is a two second affair - and it also rotates the screen into a much more friendly orientation for doing things that require the keyboard. Then again, you have never known the joys of having a larger screen - being stuck with that tiny square display. The phone app on the HTC was much more intelligently laid out - it was far easier to make call, switch between calls - basically everything related to the phone functionality was leaps and bounds better then the Treo. I mean, after all, it is supposed to be first and foremost a phone! I'm constantly amazed and appalled at how poor the phone management is on the Treo compared to the HTC - or any other phone for that matter. > It's just a preference. Sure. Your problem is you started with the Treo. You don't know any better :-) If you would ditch the Treo and use a PPC 6800 for a month, I would be interested to see if you really want to go back to a Treo or not. Oh yeah, you can do all the dialing for phone and most other stuff on the HTC's from the touch screen - with one hand. It's not necessary to have the full keyboard. I miss that also from my HTC - the touch screen buttons were much larger and easier to hit, and you didn't have to use near as many modifier keys as you do with the Treo's itty bitty keyboard. That's the problem with short term evaluations, you don't get to get into the nuances of the products :-) I can't wait to ditch this POS. If the 3G iPhone was out, I would seriously consider paying the early termination fee to dump it....
