Thanks for the thorough reply Chris.
I now realize MissingSync was pretty much my MissingLink (aka: the answer to about 80% of the questions I asked). LOL.
FWIW, I was playing with both the 600 and 650 in-store yesterday... doing a little A/B. Man, that 650 screen really is a lot nicer... and I hate wires. So the BT option have me salivating as well. Stupid, more expensive, temptation.
Do you really think Apple would need to buy/acquire palmOne to make a PDA?? I feel they have all the tech in-house, being used in several different areas - just not in one device. Not sure just cause they can, they will. But I do hear a lot of people say the PDA market is dead... and I simply think about the mp3 player market when the iPod hit. If anyone could revive/redefine a supposed dead PDA market, it would be Apple.
About the doodle feature: to open "doodles" in Preview and/or textEdit is not necessary. I really just want to be able to jot down a quick memo and save that for later viewing on the Treo. Possible? Seem so...
Most unfortunately, I will have to go with VZ (the most expensive option, dangit) as nearly all my regular contacts are on VZ... and I would save $$ by getting under VZ's IN program. So they say...
Just for kicks, I may wait until WWDC and see what Steve has up his sleeve. Would so be kicking myself if I got a Treo now, under a 2-year contract, only to see some Apple take on a similar device in 2 weeks...
Well, thanks again for your time,
