New 650 or PPC Phone.....

[wellerjohn]

I am new to this site, and have been using PDA from Palm to PPC for years. Just ordered a new Axim V51, but sent it back because of hardware and software problems. Looking to move from two devices - cell phone/ PDA; it's time to move to one device. Can you help me make the decision? Should I purchase the Palm 650 (Palm software) or wait for the PPC phone. Please help me?

The last once I owned before my Treo 650 was a PocketPC phone from Sprint. So, I went from the worst device to the best in my opinion.

The Treo 650 is miles above any other convergence device I've ever used. It's a great phone and a great pda. This is where it stands out.

And with Bluetooth included, well...it seals the deal.

I went from a Windows Mobile device that kept crashing. It's not that Palm OS is much more stable but the support is world's better from Cingular, Palm and especially these boards.

I got squat from HP and the forums were somewhat helpful but no where near the level this forum and TreoCentral are.

Both systems have issues and I have a feeling tha Microsoft's venture into the Treo line will be short lived.

I've had both operating systems on PDA's and even tried a Microsoft based smartphone before settling on the Treo. In my experience, I think I'm with the best OS and phone simply due to the support available to resolve the issues that develop.

If you were to wait... I'de wait and see what the new Palm based Treos will look like.

I'm going to wait for the reviews on the 'new' Palm 700 phone. Want to make sure the new WM 5 is stable on the Palm phone before I purchase..... I guess Cingular will have the new phone soon... :redface:
