Well, in just 8 months my Treo 700P will be 2 years old, by which point it may be the cellphone that I've kept for the longest time without replacing. Add another 10 months onto that? I kind of doubt it. In 18 months, the iPhone will have come in a 64GB model and have HSDPA, and who knows, may even be available from carriers other than AT&T. Other devices of course will be available as well. I like Palm, but I'm not going to wait indefinitely. If they do make something decent, I'll look at it in 2-3 years when the cellphone I buy next is looking old. I just hope that they don't take all their resources away from fixing the problems with the current phone. I am still having network connectivity problems due to the firmware upgrade. I finally got my phone replaced by Palm but they sent me one with the same firmware, argh! I'm going to have to go through all the support calls yet again just to get another replacement and I just don't have the time to do that now! At some point I may just have to cut my losses and go with another phone if I can get it for cheap with a contract renewal from Sprint next Summer...

But even that may be slipping: though earlier Colligan said that would appear in 2008, Palm this week told the Guardian "it will be 12 to 18 months" before a Linux Palm appears..." I don't know about you, but 18 months seems like an eternity. Will Palm survive for 18 months without introducing anything that's really "new and improved"? _______ Bill Yahoo!
