Why is HP always releasing obselete products? At least they got WM5 on this one. But honestly, EDGE? We've had EV-DO almost 2 years in this country and we're supposed to be OK with the slow data rate of EDGE? Where there is not EV-DO, there is HSDPA, so there's no excuse for HP. It needs to have either HSDPA (backwards compatible with EDGE)or EV-DO!!!!!! My Pocket PC 6700 from Sprint has fast EV-DO PLUS WiFi (something Verizon insists on crippling) and the unlimited data plan for EV-DO on Sprint is $7.50 per month vs. Cingular's $25.00 to $49.00 per month for slow EDGE. Pass on this one and get the Sprint PPC 6700 or at least the Verizon Treo 700 or PPC 6700, or the Motorola Q with EVDO when it comes out. When will HP finally "get it"? Of course I was scratching my head 3 years ago, asking the same thing of Palm, and now look - their OS is dead, and they now use Windows Mobile as their OS...
