i do carry a treo 650 occaisionally when testing software on it...and i get asked a lot "steve, why don't you like the treo? after all, you were the first person i ever knew to carry a palm."
well, the biggest reason is it is just too doggone big. it's thick, it's wide, and it's got that shark fin antenna. the PSP fits better in my pocket and it's much bigger.
second, the thing locks up on me about twice a day. the only way to reset it is by opening the back and using the stylus to reset it. i've been told this can be directly attributed to versamail, which i believe, but it still seems remarkably unstable.
third, the camera sucks. yes it does. compared to the sony e/// 710 or the nokia 6230, the camera sucks.
finally, the palm just isn't multi-tasking enough for me. i've gotten so used to the alt-tab equivalent of the series 60 interface that it just does the job for me. the UIQ interface is a close second, but i can't see myself using anything else.
there it is.
