Something I would like a treo 800 to do

[949]

Iphone really put out there advertisements. as it seems the advertisements were good but the phones little hype faded quickly.

I agree that Palm needs to advertise it's superior PDA features. Something like PC vs Mac ads. Iphone vs Treo. The iPhone is a pathetic PDA by today's standards. Widgets are a joke. Show me a spreadsheet, database, PDF, Quicken on an iPhone, any productivity software at all. No, just an iPod w/phone, media features and a touchscreen. Granted side by side the Oohs and Aahs will be heard for the iPhone, but Treo gets down to business and reality. IPhone is just pocket Icandy

I just wish I could get one with a speaker and headset connection that wouldn't break! The one on my replaced 700p is dying.

(or in cases where people don't have cell reception, like in buildings or out in BFE, a wi-fi signal would cover that)

Other phones are getting ready to do this, it would make sense for a treo to.

Add to that the list:

Linux on the Treo
At least 320 x 320 screen (or better), and make it bigger maybe?
Better memory (maybe flash memory?)
Better Battery
Broadband internet speeds

oh and give it the ability to make me an icecream sundae covered in hot fudge and whip cream..... hold the cherry please.

Agree on all points plus I would add:
Integrated voice dialing
A2DP
Native document and attachment handling including WMV files
More control over Ringers and alerts (like Central's add-on) so you can schedule when you don't want to be disturbed
GPS integrated with Google Maps

The problem with adding a GPS isn't that the functionality wouldn't be desired, but there are a LOT of people out there who feel the 680 is too large(which boggles my mind since as a PDA+phone it's not that large). You have the people out there who want a phone to be 1 inch by 1 inch in size with blue tooth, and these types really don't need/want a PDA at all(but claim they do).

Treo with Wi-Fi and GPS would be awesome. Add a bundle that comes with TomTom software and it would really take off.
