PJ Arts of PalmAddict fame, my brother in 700p arms has done it. The long time (even longer than me) Treo user has switched up and moved over to the darkside, the side that gets brighter and brighter every week. Peter got himself a Blackberry 8830 World Phone, a very capable device. Funny, I was thinking the same thing.....
---Why move to RIM, after owning every Palm OS Treo made? A lot of it is my new requirement for a world-phone. I will now be making periodic business trips to Europe; and, that eliminates Palm OS Treos. Although WinMo v6 appears to be a much-improved platform, my experience with WinMo over the years makes me reluctant to trust my business communications to it. Finally, I want to stay with Sprint. I have had terrific luck with their coverage, call reliability, data speed and service over the past several years. All of those factors (and some cracking reviews) seemed to focus right down to the 8830. This RIM device will run on Sprint's fast EvDO in the US and Canada; and, when overseas, its unlocked SIM card will automatically provide me with GSM/EDGE service (the Verizon version has a locked SIM card...but, whaddaya expect from them?).---
