Hello--

I'm currently with Sprint and I hear these 2 phones are coming out within the next month or so. So I was wondering, what do you guys feel is the best choice for a mobile phone? Pros/Cons?
 
I want a PDA thats why I picked the Treo. Not too complicated. I think I'm leaning towards the Palm. But whats the Pros and Cons of Palm vs Windows
 
windows is more like a pc, but I have heard that it's a little clunky on the 700... palm means learning a new os, but it's what treo does. I have heard that ipaqs (the other phone that uses the square screen in windows) have trouble with software. I really wanted an ipaq 6515 (built in gps) until I found out the gps software I use won't work on it because of the screen. With treo and hp both pushing square screens, this will probably improve, but who wants to pay $500 to beta test? Windows can be really great, my roomie loved her ppc-6601 until she had a fight with customer service. Now she's using cingular and putting the 6601 on ebay. Good luck with your choice.
 
having used both OSs (not on the Treo 700 however), I'd have to say Palm if you want a real tool, Windows if you want a nice looking phone. Windows mobile acts far to much like its big brother, and requries frequent resets, and can act stupid sometimes for no apparent reason.

Palm is better, less resets (not 0, but less), IMO easier to use since everything is far simpler,

However the downside to Palm IMO is that it doesn't come with much built in, document syncronization, multimedia, MP3, sound recorder, a decent clock, etc aren't built into the OS the way that they are on windows mobile so you have to go otu and get them yourself (they are getting better, I think the 700p and the 650 come with most of those things on the ROM, not made by Palm however), and I still think Activesync (windows) is better than Hot Sync...

but despite this, I'd still go Palm....reliability>*
