Well after the contract was up on my trusty Treo 650 I began to look for other phones.  I started with the Samsung Blackjack for about 10 days.  Very thin decent camera.  Texting and calls are fine.  The 3G and 2G switiching was annoying but not that big a deal.  Trying to use the phone beyond its basic functions was a huge pain.  Windows mobile is horrible at least in Samsung's hands.  Just trying to get to my music libray or use mp3's as ringtones was a nightmare.  My treo was over two years old and handled this just fine.  It also did not record texting as conversations just what was received.  Ever send a text yesterday and get a response today?  Yeah.  I added the micro sd card 2GB.  Windows Media Player locked up after putting more than 1 GB of music on it.  Couldn't take it any longer.  Great idea with extremely poor execution.  So the iPhone price dropped by 200 bucks.  Sold the Treo and Sold my larger capacity iPod.  Enter iPhone.  I was able to fit 6 movies, 100 photos and roughly 800 songs on it.  An excellent balance of all the things I do.  I would pay 40-50 for a controller to eliminate my PSP should it ever support real games beyond solitaire and poker.  The touch typing has a learning curve but have started to get used to it.  Gmail works great with it.  Treo 650 you were ahead of your time too bad you never had a suitable replacement...
