RE: Treo 755 = Sherlock?
makes sense. keeps R&D and manufacturing costs down to keep the hardware the same among platforms - let the customer decide whoch OS they want and flash the OS onto the hardware supply per carrier's order requests. no fuss, no muss, apologists and fanboys be damned. at the end of the day, customers will decide which one is "better".
Why are they wasting time on the other team's software?
I like PalmOS. I just wish it didn't suck so much. It sucks slightly less than Windows Mobile, but that's faint praise.
Oh well. My Sprint contract is expired, and I can hang until Apple gets their game sorted.

So having shortcut keys in the e-mail app isn't user friendly? Or being able to filter e-mail by typing, or being able to save playlists in WMP? How about having an app to install certificates, or being able to dial from the today screen? How about windows update on the device, instead of having to wait for a ROM update?
I think its slightly more user friendly after all.

They said I only argued for the sake of arguing, but after an hour I convinced them they were wrong...

I plan on implementing Windows Vista on my next computer
Perhaps for the same reason PALM plans on implementing Windows Mobile 6 on their next computer?
Or any other Windows Mobile-using manufacturer?
> ...For Palm fans, the most interesting tidbit...
Nah, what would be interesting - real interesting - is if PALM said "We're not interested and are sticking with 5".

Treo 755 = Sherlock?
Then Palm can take the IDENTICAL hardware, load a "fixed" version of FrankenGarnet onto it, and call it the Treo 745p or something and sell it for $50-$100 less.
Easy $ indeed for Sprint and Verizon! The WinMob & Palm OS versions can now have totally identical hardware. And of course, it lets Palm sidestep the whole SDHC support issue by for another year regressing to miniSD.
I expect Palm's Treo lineup to look like this by year's end:
Treo 680 (POS, GSM) Entry level
Treo 750 (WinMob5 GSM) Midrange (expect a big price drop once WinMob 6 hits)
Treo 745p (POS CDMA) Midrange
Treo 755 (WinMob6 CDMA) High-end
(This will be the "Mercedes" model with EVDO RevA Colligan hinted at earlier)
Pilot 1000-->Pilot 5000-->PalmPilot Pro-->IIIe-->Vx-->m505-->T|T-->T|T2-->T|C-->T|T3-->T|T5-->TX-->Treo 700P
