Dwight, you're kidding right? I could not fathom anyone saying "shockingly surprised how stable" when referring to the Treo 680 or Centro. I wish it were true so I could also be using a palm device. Sorry but you "shocked" me when saying what you did. Note I am not in any way advocating the use of any other device.

I cannot decide which to keep. After having used a 650 and 700p, as well as a TX, for the last few years, I am shockingly suprised how stable both of these devices are. Both have excellent phone reception. In fact, the phone reception is the best I have ever had on any phone. Much beter than the Motorola L9 I tried when I was considering giving up on Treo/Palm phones or several Nokia phones that I have tried in the past. The 680 is bigger and heavier, but it has a very nice, clicky keyboard. The 680 feels very solid with no wiggle or loosness anywhere. The Centro's small size is great, but it feels a little bit flimsy and the battery cover feels like it is already starting to get a little bit loose from my taking it off so many times. The Centro has a better screen and better camera and the Centro is also a little quicker than the 680, but the 680 is so much quicker than the 650, 700p and the TX that both are a great improvement to what I am used to. The 680 has a small delay when opening the camera, but other than that, neither have any significant delays when switching around between applications and games and etc... So again, I am very happy with both devices. I think the current phone software and firmware has resolved most of the issues that affected previous Treos and the early TX. Also, I think I have finally eliminated all the residuals from old, non-OS 5 compatible programs. I am still swapping my SIM card every other day or so and I still have not decided which one to keep.

Even better would be a comparison with a 680 GSM unlocked. My own experience with the latter was that it was unreliable. I finally returned it to Palm when they said it wasn't compatible with any cell carrier's system that isn't 3G - and T-Mobile still doesn't have that. BTW, the 680 unlocked is no longer for sale at Palm.com. -- Larry Hess, CPA | Albuquerque, NM [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
