Treo is the strangest phone... seems all their newer models go down in number. Wake me up when they hit 1.

my treo 700wx is the best phone in the world; unlike your unsmart blkberry, the treo has a personality...it freezes when it gets tired, drops calls when it doesn't feel like talking anymore, and sometimes (my favorite) it doesn't actually remind me for stuff i set reminders for in outlook....as if it knows that i actually don't want to go to boring business meetings with my boss...and now i can get the same treo except downgraded to a non-touchscreen? wow!...where do i sign up?

hey Giz, this is my first post...I stayed up all night trying to make it extra funny for you...can i plz have the iphone unlock software?

whatever you do Palm... do *NOT* put WiFI in it. no one wants WiFi ... certainly not in 2007. besides... how many other smartphones have WiFi? no sense putting in a feature that no one else has and certainly no one wants.

@Adian
"It makes sense that this would be the final design for the Gandolf, as the earlier prototype looked too much like the slimmer, touchscreen-equipped Centro."
They look almost identical. What are you talking about?

Palm: Please make the send and end keys bigger next time. I really like to call and hang up with my knees, but I can only press these with my elbows.

(what a phugly phone)

i still think the new center buttons design looks like garbage. say goodbye to the ease of playing video games with that crapola D-Pad.. :( *sigh* I really hope this isnt the future of the treo else my treo time could be coming to and end.

That would be Dutch, not German. The 'binnenkort verkrijgbaar' means 'available soon'.
