Treo does have true push email. I use it every day! Works with hosted Exchange or local Exchange through Exchange Activesync. Yes, it requires Exchange, but it's cheaper than anything I've seen for Blackberry and as was pointed out doesn't require going through a single monolithic central server for all Blackberries. Blackberrys? What is the plural?

The Treo has a touchscreen. BB doesn't. Can't imagine not having a touchscreen. BB email goes through a third-party before it gets to you. This creates true push-email. Sometimes the third-party goes down and BB users re delayed getting their mail. Doesn't happen often, but often enough for me to make fun of my sister who them can't get her mail. Treo doesn't have native push email and has to rely on some workarounds to achieve it. Some Treos have file system problems that makes the email clients crash and lose their email, necessitating work-arounds to recover it. Happened to me twice in 5 minutes this morning. If my sister knew, she'd have made fun of me. There are LOTS more third-party apps for a Treo than for a BB. >From what I heard, BB has done more innovating than Palm. There's a lot of speculation that Palm is sliding into the grave because of a lack of innovation. Treos used to be the cool thing to have. It was a thinking man's machine, cool in addition to utilitarian. I always likened having a BB to using AOLor driving a 3-cylinder Geo Metro: it may have gotten you where you wanted to go, but it wasn't cool or a thinking man's machine. Over the last few years, the net has evolved, while Treo's online capabilities are largely the same as several years ago. Treo's evolution is largely limited to form factor/size/color. But they did manage to take the antenna off... Treo is a PDA with a phone of dubious quality. BB phones work a little better, afaik. Treo phones are frequently plagued with problems that should have been dealt with long ago: bluetooth problems, poor speakerphones, poor volume, malfunctioning earphone jacks, etc. All in all, I'm still glad I went for a Treo than a BB. But everything's a tradeoff. Someone else could look at the comparison and easily go the other way. -- America is sick. We need a doctor, not a lawyer. Dr. Ron Paul for president in 2008.
