New phone

We decided to get local cellphone numbers before the new school year starts (Goodbye Area Code 781). We also upgraded both of our phones to the Treo 755p. It’s a nice improvement over my Treo 650: EVDO. More memory. Much better bluetooth support. Nothing revolutionary but a nicer device.

This is my fourth Treo phone and seventh Palm/Handspring device. And possibly my last unless Palm starts innovating again. The 755p is lighter and slightly smaller than the 650 but still a bit thick compared to many competitors. PalmOS has small incremental improvements but is mostly unchanged in years.

Why didn’t I go for something more innovative such as the iPhone? Clearly the iPhone is cooler but currently doesn’t do everything my Treo does. I’ll wait a generation or two. Plus I got a good deal on the Treos. The two phones cost quite a bit less than one iPhone.
