Eyeing for Treo 680


Why the Treo series?
  • It's a pda-phone (I need something practical to jot things down, on the go).
  • It's has a stylus (Smartphone navigating through keys & buttons? Non-intuitive. Palm felt very strongly on having a stylus/touchscreen).
  • It integrates a full qwerty keyboard (Very important as I don't feel like writing using the stylus.. have you tried? You'll end up using virtual keyboard).

Why the 680?
  • It's within my budget, below RM 2000
  • It uses Palm OS, much more intuitive operating system and with fewer clicks to open up application.
  • The casing colour is cuter, and more sporty.

Why not the 750v?
  • It is to damn expensive (RM 2988)
  • It uses Windows Mobile as its OS (Oh God! No...)
  • I don't need the damn 1.3mp camera anyway.
