While waiting for my GSM Treo 600 I picked up a Nokia 3650 (Symbian) for $99 during a t-mobile promotion. If they ever get a thumboard on one of these things, PalmOne had better watch out! The main attraction I see is the cheap price, high performance (> 100MHz), ruggedness, and ubiquity. They seem to have a lot of multimedia players on them. Out of the box I can stream radio and video with the RealOne player. I bought a browser, Doris Browser, and wow it just runs rings around anything on the PalmOS platform < OS 5.x. Programming is definitely weird, but you can do a lot of stuff with very little knowledge. I know that the Treo 600 is going to blow it away, but I'm finding this 3650 to be strangely addicting (hello Bluetooth!), and I'm almost a Palm fanatic. -- /* Chris Faherty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> */ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
