I bought my Treo 650. Paid cold hard cash for an unlocked, unfettered
quad-band, world ready GSM phone and its unique computing
capabilities. It acts as a music player, pocket snapshot camera,
voice recorder, address book and note taker, JPEG picture viewer, and
a lot of other things besides being a phone. It's paid for itself
over and over again in the 8 months since I bought it. One of the
best purchases in pocket sized electronics I've ever made.

Oh, I didn't *pay* for my Treo. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't
have one if the cost was coming out of my pocket. After all,
I don't have a Dell Axxim 51 (or whatever model it is) with
that nice 640x480 display (Treos are square, 240x240).
Palm gave me the Treo, Verizon pick up the tab for the phone
service, and Microsoft supplied a pre-release copy of Visual
Studio 2005 for application development. At that price, I'm
satisfied that I got a reasonable deal :-)

Unfortunately, unlike you guys I do not have money. So I have to
make do
with what I can get. So I now have an old Toshiba e755 that
already is
proving itself useful (I did do a full reset yesterday that seems to
have cleared up some of the problems). I can even look at photos
from my
digi-cam on it. How big is the screen on those Treos again?
I also have a cf-gps card coming (ain't ebay wonderful?) so I will be
able to find my way from the kitchen to the bedroom of my
apartment, and
maybe even to the grocery store if I can still afford groceries after
spending all my money on ebay. <grin>
