I too, have a Treo 650 that I am pretty happy with. It is a working
phone that does what I need it to. That is the difference I believe.
the iPhone is a phone for surfing the web, answering emails, listening
to music, gazing at pics, and a phone. It is not a working phone with
any of the business functions many of us need. It is truly a toy.

If Sprint offered it I might get one, not for $500. I will staty with
working phones, because that is what I need. Although I am thinking
about moving to the HTC Mogul.
