'just a damned phone' doesn't sell. I want a better phone, not just a damned one. The key is to get one with a good user interface that makes it easy to figure out and use the capabilities. That's what I like about my Treo 650. I've figured out everything it can do and I have yet to open a manual. And it can do a lot.
