When it comes to smartphones, its a matter of preference. I prefer the Palm OS over the Windows Mobile. Its much easier to navigate with a single and without a stylus than the Windows Mobile (though it has gotten better). Since I've owned a Treo 650, an IPAQ & many regular cell phones I speak from experience on that. The only reason I parted ways with my Treo was size. I wasn't using enough for business to justify keeping it.

Finally, someone that agrees. I've always had a Palm since 15 so that's why I opted to try the 600 and 650. I'm used to the OS and the Windows is overwhelming. Did you know that Cingular's version had like 6 software glitches? Maybe that's why we haven't heard anything about the 700 for us .

Smartphones to me, and just about everyone else in the Cingular world are more on the lines of a Audiovox5600 / MPX220 / Cingular 2125. Phones that are more affordable with the syncing/windows capabilities. The 8125 is the first phone we've had on the brink of Smartphone AND PDA.

Let me know how the a900 goes. I've been getting lots of reviews online as a selling tool. The only reason I'm having regular-use consumers consider Sprint is for that phone.
