RE: I want one!
I thought that's what tape was for.
Or for the rich and frivolous, companies sell specialized stickers for that purpose.
I wonder why companies don't ask their visitors if anyone has a photographic memory before their tours. Or restrict their tours to the "sensory challenged" folks.
RE: I want one!
Manufacturers are going to need to decide who their target audiences are - individuals or corporate users. Corporate users will rarely use the camera, and in many cases camera are banned from some worksites. Yet the SmartPhone type idea lands squarely in two camps - gadget geeks (hi, I'm one too), and corporate users (hi, I'm one of them as well).
Take out the camera. Have it as an accessory. Give us expansion (hmm, SDIO with VEO camera for those that really need to take crappy photso in bars?). Give us batter life. Give us RIM style always on connectivity.
Sorry. Rant over.

RE: I want one!
Well, there's a recent article on CNN.com about how people are using cell phones to thwart criminals - photos used to ID potential kidnappers, theives and flashers.
RE: I want one!
Cameras also add bulk to phones and increase their price. As a person who *never* would use such a thing, it's annoying to have to pay for it and have a thicker phone than would otherwise be necessary.
Welcoming more cameraless options doesn't mean those of you who use them can't get them. But why should companies ignore the rest of us?

RE: I want one!
There is little in any of our products which is not a direct response to a carrier request (which, of course, is fueled by what the people who make the chipsets tell them is possible). Right now, they're trying to sell the concept of "You wouldn't believe what I'm seeing right now! Hey, wait, let me show you!" I think that they're offering 40 such opportunities per month to show what you're seeing to the person you're talking to wrapped in their calling plan, and hoping that people will become so addicted to it that they'll do even more, at 25 cents per.
We're slowly inching towards the "Jetsons'" portable videophone; with the approach of very high-speed (much faster than your home broadband) mobile data services, it shouldn't be too much longer. Like every new technology, abuses will be found, and as with every new technology in the past, the world will adjust.
PPC's "Treo killer"?
RE: PPC's
I could never see myself with that but then I don't like the treo form factor either. I like flips!!!!!
I put a phone on my hip and it gets crashed and banged around. I can't believe they put the little "exterior LCD" on then give you a holster that points the face out into the destructive environment and that requires you to turn the phone around to see the display in the first place. Is the External LCD for others to see what a "cool" phone I have or for me to be able to use?
Sorry, long day and my wife is gone all week at a team meeting. Four kids, two dogs....

Just cus it has a thumbboard doesn't mean it can beat the Treo...anyone wanna bring up the G1000? ;)
Anyway, the tri-wirless is very interesting though. Hopefully the next Treo will have BT at min...

I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. We're in space.
RE: PPC's
Did you READ before you posted?
And why did you change your handle? Your sig is the same!
This is wrong...

Great more vaporware
Don't believe the hype. Buy a treo now and be happy. I did. Samsung's completely lost my faith as they have never released a market shattering palm product to anyplace other than a trade show. There will be a treo or kyocera better than this by the time it's out.
RE: Great more vaporware
I hate the thumboard with a loathing like the fire of 1000 suns. If it works for you? Great. It does not work for me.
RE: Great more vaporware
Graffiti-On-Screen is insufficent, by the way; then your hand and stylus get in the way of watching what you're writing, which completely defeats the purpose of using Graffiti to begin with.
Graffiti does not require you watch your pentip. But you do have to watch your thumbs.
I Hope this is not a Hype!
Treo is a good idea, but still it's pretty big comparing to i500.
As far as camera goes, yeah why not have one. I love to see hte face of the person before answering their call. As long as enough memory in it. Well there you have it this thing comes with a SD slot!
If not I am still going for a T3 with Wi-Fi (of course, BT and all the other goodies with it)
I was so mad at Samsung when they created i600 with Pocket PC OS. So I guess this is the Palm version of the same phoen. I don't know about you guys but maybe this is the real thing! Let's wait and see!!!!

Technology moves faster than you can afford... at least for me.
Problem with my Palm 130
Have a Palm 130. Two user names, one I never use and was accidental. Handheld was acting up, so I did a complete reset, in the couse of which I was asked for a user name but I gave the wrong one. Result: the handeld no longer contains the full info that went with the good user name.
I'd like to restore that user name to the handheld.
What have I tried? Full reset again, went to HS, changed to "Desktop overwrites handheld." Then tried sync using push button on handheld. Did not work.
I'm stumped. If you can help ok to write me at bkerr@t-online.de
