Is there life after Treo without WI FI

[serge ouaknine]

What I loved in Palm was the Palm software. You lost me once with Window and you are loosing me a seconde time in forbidding us access to WI FI. It's a pity when. In Europe the mentality is to open system and unlocked smartphone. After the major event of growing Iphone, all companies rushed to adapt themselves to the new reality - ( HTC, Nokia, Assus, Blackberry, Samsung etc) except Palm far behind when you could have remained on top level.
I wish to know clearly if we are going to get ( soon yes or not) a SMART PALM (with a Palm system) unlocked ( no Vodaphone, no Orange, no Verizon etc ) with a Worldwild access GPS with guided voice, a GSM quadriband, a tuner FM, MP3, a dictaphone, a good photo & video camera, Wi Fi, Skype, a large screen and a Qwerty keybord ? I will not submit myself to Window ( I work on Macintosh machines mostly) or telephone companies... Are you telling me that i should buy an Iphone ?
What should I do wit the bad sound quality of my Treo 380 ?
If you have any power or influence in the Palm hierarchy, please talk to them. Palm wake up you are loosing your 15 years faithfull customers !

Might make sense to post this in a more relevant forum Serge, right now only people with newsletter problems are going to read it...

Very wise! As I feel my Treo 380 more and more obsolete I have hoped that Palm could have come with a more challenging machine than the Centro or Treo 500. I will quit Palm with dear regret but I really don't understand its strategy regarding the evolution of customers needs and the market, again I repeat and asked gently is Palm going to deliver a real SMARTPHONE PALM ? with GPS with guided voice, a GSM quadriband, FM tuner, MP3, dictaphone, good photo & video camera, Wi Fi, Skype, a large screen and a Qwerty keybord ? I work mostly in Europe Middle East and Canada I see people raging against Palm and mooving to Blackberry. Did you asked yourself why ? There is always something missing in a Palm machine ( I would say honnestly only the last 5 years...) . My Life Drive is a mess not even able to open a Word document without freezing, my TX has Wi Fi but no camera, my Treo 380 has a GSM with bad sound, MP3 but no dictaphone. Is this a deliberate intention to frustrate people in order to buy the next gadget ? Tell me why should I stay with Palm when Nokia and HTC give us full equiped machines ( except full Macintosh access) ? Why Palm has abandonned its faithfull Mac clients ? When we know that most of Universities, college educators , artists, designers, photographs, writers, are equipped with Mac computers ? It is nonsens !Do you have answers to this ?

I actually think that's the same with most manufacturers, with a few exceptions. Why is this the case I don't know How many Blackberries come with cameras? When will Apple release a 3G iPhone? Why can't Palm make a phone, any phone, as slim as the competition?

I wait for 3G iPhone for a long time.
