It is

I hear a lot of that from you guys, and I think it's about time, Mr. Gates, huh?
......a WM version worthy of the Treo.

Well the hope is that Nova will be a killer OS and we can kiss WM goodbye

WM and Palm OS will eventually phase out in the natural course of evolution.
I'm a big believer in options, though, and while I have no desire whatsoever to use WM, others like it a lot. Lots of people have no desire to get near Palm OS, but it dances in my hands.
I think in a perfect world, we would have all three OSs, and a huge array of top-shelf Treos (and Centros for the munchkins..................kidding) to choose from.
I, too, am a bit impatient for Nova.

For me both devices are doing ok. It's up to the user what is his preference with regards to mobile phone. I don't have problems owning both.

I think owning both would be a blast.

I looked at blackberry's vs the Q vs treo 700P vs treo 700w.
I chose the 700P because I'm use to palm devices, I like palm devices, I love the touch screen, and custom apps. You can find an app for just about anything on a palmos device.
Plus I'm a unix admin so I don't think too highly of windows.

I looked hard at the blackberry's but I honestly felt I would regret not getting the treo.

Even with the problems with bluetooth and the phone app issues I experience from time to time, I still love it.

I read your post from 2006 abt the Blackberry vs Treo 700P. If this thread really works its way to you, I woud like to pick your brains (and leave some still intact).
