Went back to: Palm Treo 650

“I returned the phone because I couldn’t find a way to justify spending $600 on what amounts to a closed system. It’s like buying a laptop you can’t tweak or put software on. Also, I was highly annoyed by the keyboard and EDGE (although the iPhone’s implementation seems faster than my Treo). I went back to my old, ugly, totally awesome Treo 650, which I can happily do anything I want with and to!”

There’s one for the Treo! I feel it’s an empty victory, however, because yesterday I made the switch from a Treo 650 to a Blackberry 8830. I’ll post on it soon, but first impressions: It’s amazing.
