But that treo is a neat gadget. :)


Why? The Nano i just a 4Gb flash based Mp3 player with no room for expansion. I usually take my cellphone wherever I go, so a mp3 player would just be another accessory. Plus I get push email on (like the blackberry) - forgot to mention that.

Lets see, would I rather carry a PDA, a Phone, and an Mp3 player... on one device? Plus I can get more/bigger SD cards if I wish, and use the cards on my digital camera (don't really like the 600's camera, however the 650 is a different story).

Plus I don't have to deal with Apples crippleware.

And did I mention that when I need net access for my laptop and are really screwed for LAN/Wifi I can use my treo as a GRPS modem?

The treo is like McGyver/Swiss army knife of personal devices :)

Vulcan GPRS is so 90s and compared to 3G it's slooooooooowwww...; I hope one day you can enjoy the speed of the 3G and receive video news to your cellphone and also have video calls with your ancient Treo :p

btw... does it fit into your hand?

Im about to order a Nokia 6680 if the N70 or 6280 are not out soon :)

Even EDGE is soooo much faster than GPRS crap.

6280 is using Symbian Series 40 OS and not Symbian series 60 like N70 and 6680.
There's already boatloads of free or cheap programs for Series 60... I'd pick N70 or 6680 if those would be the choices.

Few links if you're interested about getting a Symbian OS phone like N70 or 6680:

Yes i know its a series 40, but it has a better cam than the 6680 and is supposed to be cheaper cause its gonna compete with the K600i.

Ill wait and see what the N70 and 6280 will cost when the are released here.

Im guessing you have a 6680 Staga.

I've been happy but to say anything more I should rip some fusion with different bit rates and CBR/VBR bit rates and maybe add few OggVorbis files and compare the quality with my Jamo Prestiges... Not going to happen today and I should built a cable from pop-port to amplifier to get them work together :)

But what I can say is the quality is far better than with from PC using Plantronics headset. IIRC 6680 has faster CPU than some cheaper models and apparently that should also increase audio quality or that's what I've heard.

video calls? yeah right.

Treo 650's are all 3G, I could upgrade if I wanted, and have video calls if I wanted. That phone of yours is a mere toy, nothing compared to what you can do on a treo.

Don't get your panties in a wad Vulcan; I'm just yanking your chain.
I'm sure Treo is fine but after carrying Communicators from 9110 to 9210i I wanted to get something smaller and lighter and 6680 was just what I needed.

btw In here Nokia's workers can choose from two phones: 9500 Communicator and 6680... it's clearly a business phone; for a toy it's much too pricey  ;)

Its "hack" model 6682 is available in States from Cingular but that version doesn't have 3G and some other goodies 6680 has (like videocalls).
You can thank your mobilephone operators and your government for leaving US behind in the mobilephone development.

Yup. I was pretty sure it only had EDGE.

Better than GPRS but still not good enough for video-calls.
