Um, but the Sidekick doesn't have Wifi and neither do any Blackberries. Where did you hear this? It sounds incredibly dumb or just an excuse, since we still have very few smartphones that have wifi. Consumers may want that feature but look at how well the 650 has sold without it! Tmobile could still sell a ton. They may want people to subscribe to their hotspot service, but what they have done is encourage a lot of gadget heads to just go to another carrier. Seems pretty silly to me...

I fully expect the next high-end PalmOS Treo to come out will have Wi-Fi (g). If it doesn't, Palm's sorely misguided. Even ol' T-Mobile is requiring its 'smartphones' to have Wi-Fi (one of the reasons they haven't adopted the 650).

For my money, it was the four times better screen res and the much faster processor and the ability to transfer at EDGE speeds. But there's also the better keyboard, bluetooth, and better camera (although the camera is the same res as the 650, just better exposure and color). Its of course a personal decision and future Treos will be better. Whether wifi will be a feature any time soon is a big question mark. We may just see EVDO and HSDPA Treos before we see wifi ones... --------------------- Sent with ChatterEmail True push email for the Treo Smartphone www.chatteremail.com <http://www.chatteremail.com> -----Original Message----- From: Train they call the City of New Orleans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, Sep 2, 2005 10:21 am Subject: Re: [Treo] Would you upgrade to a Treo 650 now? when will the 670 and the 700 come out - any news? I'm wondering if it's not worth it to just wait - especially if it has to be an unlocked version. I have a Treo 300 and a Treo 600 and I don't see a compelling enough reason to junk my investment there for Bluetooth and a better camera. For what I need - making phone calls, playing and streaming MP3s, putzing around with SSH/VNC/FTP, SMS, occasional email, time-wasting games (for waiting in line), and occasional notetaking and reminders. One thing that would have swayed me was wifi access and the ability to play and stream good quality video. I realize you can do this now somewhat, but from what I've seen, the quality leaves a lot to be desired. I would like to see what killer-app features the new phones have in store.

I was never able to satisfactorily install my applications to the SD card; now I don't have to (except D2T, which has its own way of doing that) because the memory block size was reduced.
