RE: Move over for the 610

The Treo 610 (hires screen screen etc) won't be seen until the end of '04. This came from a PalmOne marketing exec. You heard it here.
JLM.
RE: Move over for the 610
End of 04 ?
Unfortunately, I believe it.
Great innovations come from Palm/Handspring.
But they just can't be bothered to develop them further, in a reasonable time.
How difficult is it to have a hi-res version - Over a year's worth (given '600 launch mid 2003) ????? I think not.

"Over a year's worth (given '600 launch mid 2003)"
But don' forget, a mobile phone with individual carrier testing is a whole different world from a straight PDA. They are not going to launch a 610 when the market for the 600 is still hot. They just announced T-Mobile as a new carrier for the 600. Another model, even if it only has a 320x320 screen will still need to go through the same carrier testing before it is released.
A Palm in hand is worth two in your pocket.
The Treo 600 v Samsung i500 debate
First, sorry to you all who've seen the dozens of threads on this debate out there. But I sure could use some feedback as I wade into "Demo Days" to decide on a Treo 600 versus Samsung i500. (And if you have any thought that I should consider an earlier Treo 270/300 because of price/value, please weigh in on that as well!)
The big concern that has me losing sleep at the moment is an issue w/ cracked screens. It seems every where I look, someone is talking about dropping their Treo 600 just once and it's done for. I bike and really want to integrate what my Palm Vx does w/ my cell to (a) avoid the second item on the belt, and (b) not worry so much about the fragile thing. It's also my only "home" phone, so my son uses my cell every so often (Motorola 60).
As an aside, I got one of the early Fitaly stamps, and I still use the virtual Fitaly keyboard on my Palm Vx. Last night I found that Fitaly has a stamp for the i500, which may make the keyboard less of a sell for me, and the dedicated phone keys re-emerge for the value that has.
Thanks for your help!

RE: The Treo 600 v Samsung i500 debate
One more thing.... Any thoughts what I'm reading, that Palm OS 4.x is more stable than OS 5.x on a 160x160 res screen? I've heard that in a number of comparisons between the i600 and Treo 600 as well. Also: I know from reading Popular Mechanics and such that it's not uncommon to have "long term" evaluations of things such as automobiles. Yet in PDA, cell phone and other such things, no "reviewer" has ever seemed to have more than 2 weeks w/ the thing. I know technology changes fast, but come on! can't anyone spend at least a couple of months in day in and day out use, and keep us updated?
Treo 600 is the CHAMPION!!!
