Any obvious advantages over the "Blue Angel"? (Siemens SX66, etc, etc, etc)
I havn't tried compared dimensions & weight or claimed battery life.
Bluetooth version may be different too and of course CPU & memories.
But the core functionality seems the same to me...
1st True attempted at a single handed PPC Phone
I'm a PPC lover, I've owned 3 models by HP, but after playing with the treo 650 in the store for an hour, i decided to go with PalmOne. WOW.. I love the 650, everything about it is awesome.
I think I'll wait until the PPC 2005 OS is released.
Monster of a phone
It has everything including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a 1.3 megapixel camera.
Does it have Video capture?
The bigger question is: Is it coming to T-Mobile?
The specs say that it is a GSM phone.
Thanks.
