? Of course the lines are small. It's not a "revolutionary" like the original. This is just a little more memory and some small tweaky updates, most of which have been on phones for a decade. The new SUPER phone can cut & paste, take video and has voice control, which many phones have done for years. YAWN!

Oh, right...it has a compass. LOL

LOL...a COMPASS! And a 3MP camera! That's what they added...that's the NEW phone!? ROTFLMAO. This from the company that took 2 years to add cut & paste to a cell phone. The iPhone was a remarkable product when it was introduced...but they just don't seem to know what else to do with it.

No my complaint with the iPhone isn't "nothing". It's that it's battery life (so far described) is FAR to low for serious phone use. My Treo will last for a week or more WITHOUT using the phone, just the PDA functions. And I'm sure the iPhone will last a while without actually, er, using the phone. As an iPod it's neat. As a phone...not real good. And again...one giant smudge/scratch surface. The 'little' screens on the iPods always get mucked up, just imagine a device that is JUST one giant screen. Ecks. Pretty. But...

I've had a Treo 650 for just over two years. I love the thing. I keep all sorts of notes and even password (protected) on it, all my appointments and contacts. Since it has non-volatile memory and is backed up daily to my PC, I've never once lost data on it. It's one of only a handful of devices you can actually do 'real' email on. I'm not a 12 year old. I can't do full emails with a little number pad and 'text messaging' shortcuts. I need to use actual words. Sure there are a few other phones with keyboards, but none are as expandable as a Palm. Blackberry? Q? Sure, cute. But I have a dozen games, a Commodore 64 simulator (don't ask), local traffic app, and bunches of useful little utilities I rely on. Those other phones are very limited in the 3rd party apps you can use. Is the Treo "too much" phone for most folks. Probably. But it's the Swiss Army knife of phones.

As for the iPhone, I LOVE the iPhone as an art concept. Looks pretty and is amazing tech from what I've read. But the battery life so far looks to be awful, and it's not replaceable. So far Apple is refusing to let 3rd parties do utilities/apps for it. And finally, having used a Treo for years, with it’s touch screen just half the size of the overall phone, I have to wonder about a device that is one giant touch screen from edge to edge. Fingerprints? Smudges? Scratches? I’ll spend most of my day constantly wiping it down. A+ as art. C- as useful phone.
