Well, if you think Blazer is good, and can't diferentiate between Opera Mobile 
(the best mobile browser there is) and Opera Mini (the Java-crap version and 
only version that we Treo owners can use), then I rest my case. 

I am a Treo 680 owner and a heavy user of Palm software, but I am no 
blind-there-is-no-better-platform-than-mine-fanatic. PalmOS stopped development 
a long time ago. Fact. Developers have put the platform on standby, just 
keeping development for in-the-market products, many times simply in order to 
accomodate new Treo devices. Fact.

I can live with that for now. My Treo suits my needs. I am no "I need to have 
all existing 'cool' software on Earth, useful or not" kind of guy. I have a 
heavily customized Treo shock-full of useful software, a smartphone so useful 
to me that I doubt I could replicate my current experience in some other 
smartphone. Still, I'm not blind nor will I swear faithfulness to PalmOS or 
Palm. I want the best possible device for my needs. As simple as that.
