Cool - then let's talk Treos.
I walked into a Verizon store today. A lady was admiring a 650 and I
told her that was a great phone (showing her mine). She was pissed at
the salesdrone who tried to turn her off it by telling her it was $500.
How did she know the lady didn't have $500 in her pocket. I told her
the drone probably got a bigger commission on the other one(s).
As if on cue, another drone approached to tell her she didn't want the
650 - she wanted the 700 because it used Windows. Everybody is familiar
with Windows, plus it does email and it's a big upgrade from the 650.
My 650 was shocked that it could do email when this person implied it
couldn't. What would have been really funny was if the lady started
quoting specs and proving the drone wrong!
I couldn't take the BS any longer and left. Caveat emptor. Never trust
a salesperson when their lips are moving. [this does not apply to
knowledgeable salespeople - I've never been helped by one but I'm sure
they exist]
Meanwhile, a coworker recently got a Cingular smartphone. I didn't
catch the model, but it was a little larger than a pack of cigs and very
flat. It swiveled to reveal a keyboard and screen on separate halves.
The guy was really pleased with it. It had a dual core (albeit slower)
processor, wifi and GSM, and decent coverage. He even liked it in spite
of the fact that it was Windows-based. Interesting that there are so
many competing models.
