I understand that convergence probably will happen and will just as cool as the flying car I've been promised. I also understand we need to baby-step our way to convergence. What I don't understand is- why do we need to sacrifice the primary function? to make way for crappy baby-stepped half-assed approaches to convergence. Throw a PIM on my phone. But don't add six more menu's in way as a result to get to my phone's missed calls. I agree… well- not with that phone because it’s ugly.

I made the commitment for Palm's Treo 650. It is the best mobile phone around. Hands down. After fighting with too many Nokias and SonyEricssons. I made the commitment for Palm’s Treo 650.

Verizon recently down graded all of their local towers (went back to another older techonology system) - and therefore making it almost impossible to get the full 5 bars of reception. grrr. agree.
