Good move

Actually the network providers have been bugging the manufacturers to provide cameraless version of there phones. This is because a number of market sectors (especially the enterprise) don't want cameras on the phones.

1) Many companies (including mine) do not allow image/video recording devices within their facility.
2) Personally, I am growing tired of having to pay a premium for a low quality camera on higher end peripherals. I finally gave up looking for a decent bluetooth phone because of all the bells and whistles included on such phones. Not every peripheral needs to converge such that they are all dessert toppings AND floor waxes.
Two points for Palm...and two more for anyone who gets that last reference. :-)
cheers,

RE: Fan-darn-tastic
I have to admit that the crackdown on cell phone camera/pda cameras has really surprised me. I'd personally be hard pressed to find any sort of 640*480 blurry pic of a someone's rump taken at a fitness club titillating in ANY manner!
Great, but now add 2 more carriers
However, what I really think is that PalmOne should start working with BOTH Verizon and Nextel (the only carriers that don't have Palm-Powered Smartphones) because frankly, corporations should concentrate on the easier-to-use Palm Powered Devices as opposed to Blackberries and PocketPCs not to mention Symbian devices.
Verizon needs a Palm-Powered Smartphone like this. Otherwise, they will lose me as one of their lost customers. In addition, PalmOne MUST work with Nextel to bring in an iDEN Version of the Treo. Although Nextel's Windows Mobile Smartphone is coming this fall, the iDEN Market is in need of some serious Palm-Powered Culture.
A Palm-Powered Handheld is the bread and butter for many people. Without a Palm-Powered Handheld, your progress is all for naught.

where is the verizon version? sprint and t-mobile suck in my area. What about nextel??
May the Palm os be with you
RE: services
verizon has the best tower sites and 800 mhz spectrum in a lot of markets (which both facilitate coverage).
sprint is expected to offer a phone with antenna diversity. This means you have two antennas at the same frequency which receive two versions of the same signal and combine it for a better signal. One or both antennas can be internal.
When this comes out (and it is supposed to be out in 2004) it will provide sprint users with that phone with much better reception, data rates and effectively "coverage."
back to camer-less treos. Excellent idea. Its nice to see a vendor responding to the needs of the consumer (in this case enterprise) rather than to their own needs.
one of the funniest things i've heard is that Samsung, a leading supplier of camera phones, actually prohibits its employees from bringing them inside of its plants.

First post! Big whoop!
Hi-Res screen would be nice, But honestly I just haven't missed it (I had a Clie 615c.) The Treo has such a bright screen. It looks fine to me. (And I'll happily buy a hi-res screen Treo when available, and affordable. Ha!)
