Of course, the Palm I get must support Palantir!

Is there any Palm that doesn't support Palantir? I'm sure it will work on pretty much anything, since it is a native res app without any specific processor requirements... no?

No wireless NIC for the Treo? That seems unbelievable since it's got an SD/MMC slot. I'll dig into that on the Treo forums.

Tell me about it, it is annoying. If there was proper WiFi support, I'd be all over a 650. WiFi is unsupported, and simply doesn't work out of the box. However, a guy called Shadowmite has hacked the WiFi drivers from a Tungsten to a Treo, and it does work to a fashion! Apparantly it is buggy, and you will need to do a bunch of things before putting the card in and taking it out. If you need WiFi, this is not really a recommended method. If you just want to play around, it might do.

one of the few with voice memos I crave. I thought that was available on the Treo with software, as are many other features.

There is *so* much 3rd party stuff out there. I use SoundRec on my 600, and its great.

Forget the keyboard, I'm always near a computer to sync even the quickest entry.

Right, I will accept that it is not massively important to have a keyboard on a Palm, they work very well without. BUT, the Treo is fantastic because it has a keyboard in a phone. I don't use the keyboard much in Palm apps, but it is great to tap away an SMS message before you could even choose a recipient on a normal phone. To take the phone out of your pocket, tap in someones initials and call them before you could even unlock the keypad on a normal phone. When swapping numbers with an old friend, you'd have his/her contact details stored in your Treo before he/she has managed to put your name in their phone.

Plus, its one less thing to have in your pocket, and that has got to count for something, right?
