Does the Treo have a digital camera? Oh, and does the Trio let you choose which voice mail you want to listen to? Also, I don'[t think the Trio is as thin as the iPhone.

I've had a Palm Pilot, Treo300, Treo600, and now Treo700w. The Palm OS is great and there are lot's of apps for it. But it was still limited. I am not convinced that the Apple OS will be that big of a deal. It will undoubtedly have bugs. So the screen turns off when it is near your face- how does it do that, heat sensors?, movement?, I can see lots of issues here. I set the touchscreen of my Treo turn off while a call is underway. If I need to access the calendar during a call, a single touchstroke disables it. I have a wireless Bluetooth headset. No big deal, spend as much or as little as you want on one. Yes, it has a camera that I love. (See Charlatan's pics from his Treo in 'The world through my phone' thread.) The 'listen to a specific voice mail' feature is really cool. I could go for that. Not worth learning a whole new device for though. Form factor, gotta admit the iphone is cool. The screen seems kind of vulnerable, and if you put it in a case it kind of defeats the slimness factor. The last feature that I didn't hear mentioned is one of my favorites- the ability to use the Treo as modem. It works great and can really save the day when you need to use your laptop to get online away from the office.
