I stopped in to an ATT store this evening since my Treo 600 is starting to die after 3.5 years. I really want to keep the Palm operating system as I prefer it. The salesperson really didn't know much (and admitted she was new). First she said the 680 had been discontinued which I find hard to believe. They didn't have a display model so she may have thought it was discontinued but I felt she wanted to sell me something tonight (for her comission) and maybe they did not have 680s in stock. She also originally told me that the 750 had BOTH Windows Mobile AND the PALM operating system! At least the other sales person corrected her when I pushed her about that crazy claim.
I looked at the Centro (hate the white and green) but the keypad turned me off. A membrance with raised letters, not real keys. The "keys" were very small. The 680 still has the lousy VGA camera that my 600 does. She tried showing me some other smart phones (i.e. the TILT, Blackberry etc.) but I really didn't like them for various reason. I spent some time playing with the Treo 750 (windows mobile 6) but it seemed overly complicated compared the the Palm system on my 600. I hate to go to another carrier but that may be my only choice unless ATT gets another Treo model in the near future with the Palm operating system. Is there anything in the pipeline that anyone has heard of?
