Next Generation Handspring Treo Shown

Not sure what the funny sticky out thing at the top is -- my SE T610 doesn't have one (and neither does the P800)!

Ceci n'est pas une signature.

How about the SE P800, Nokia 3650 etc?...

Anyway, it's still not determined whether the Treo 600 will have integrated BT. My gut tells me probably not though...

Uh let's see:
1. Bluetooth would allow you to connect your laptop to the Internet through your phone.
2. Bluetooth would allow you to connect to printers from your phone.
3. Bluetooth would allow you to access the Internet wirelessly without using some kind of service plan and/or indoors where phone service is crappy, plus at higher bitrates.
4. Share stuff wirelessly with your friend's Bluetooth PDA, phone, etc.

Come one people! Bluetooth is exactly the thing that would make a Palm OS phone more than just a phone.

I'm with you on that. If my phone dies, I can stick a couple of quarters in a payphone and get by. If my Palm dies, I would have to adjust my my workstyle, drag around a laptop, etc...

WRONG AGAIN!! Please tell me what other 3 or 4 PalmOS 5.x smartphones have been announced?!! Like I said before, the ONLY other os 5.x smartphone on the horizon besides the Treo 600 is the SGH-i500 period! Every other device known of like the Kyocera 7135, Samsung SPH-i330, Tungsten W, GSPDA Zircon, GSPDA Onynx, and etc are all OS 4.1 or earlier! The only exception is the Weblink H500 which uses the Huntec Relfex technology and thus is not capable of voice (thus nullifying it). Try to get your facts straight!

Secondly, Handspring no longer sells its products directly to consumers! Its success will be predicated upon the relationship it has developed with various cellular providers. So far it has become a Tier 1 level partner with SprintPCS and Orange and will maintain at least a Tier 2 level partnership with T-mobile AFAIK! Thus the pricing, extent of susidization, and sale of these Treos will be determined NOT by Handspring but by the cellular providers themselves. Ultimately, the success of these products won't depend soley upon the lowest price but on which providers will support which smartphones, which will work best with which network, which can generate the best new revenue streams, and etc...

Well, you got me again. :) Let me express my point in more general terms. I don't believe that the typical (non PIC) consumer differentiates beyond PPC phone and Palm OS phone. Before long there will be so many Palm OS phones out there that HS will get lost in the background noise. Barely another face in the crowd.

Should be ...

i.e. its vs. it's

Does posting on the internet spell the death of the English language as it is (it's) written?

Possibly ... but blame Gutenberg - he put printed media within reach of the common man. It has been a downhill slide since then 8^)

Dust up your language before insulting others. Writing is a form of communication, and *its* misuse can confuse matters to no end.

e.g i.e. vs. e.g

i.e = "which means"
e.g = "for example"

Palmmongrel, I wish you would figure out that including the second comma in the above sentence (between the words "out" and "or") is grammatically incorrect. Back in the 4th grade, I learned that this sort of punctuation mistake is called a comma splice (a GRIEVOUS SIN that all good writers loathe to commit).

Let he who has never made a punctuation error in a post cast the first stone. :)
