Now that this squabble has once again turned into a useful discussion, I'll
add the primary point from my point of view.  I would like faster speeds on
my Treo not so much for accessing data from my Treo (although I do that
occasionally and the faster speed would be nice), but for accessing data
from my laptop through my Treo via Bluetooth, where I'd take all the speed I
could get. 

As I've said, I do this infrequently enough that EDGE speeds of 100kbps to
120kbps, which I see pretty often nowadays, is adequate.  Faster would be
more productive, but I'm not at present willing to pay more than the
$20/month I'm paying for unlimited data since I can very often find a (free)
wifi connection to use.

Cheers,
Don

This is absolutely correct and something a lot of people fail to
recognize when wishing their handhelds had Wi-Fi.  But that's not the
only limitation on the "advantages" of this technical feature.
