Now if they would take that BMW M-sports logo and make it a T5, ooooh that would be nice. As for BT/wifi, I would like to see P1 do both, but I dont know that they would if they are keeping it the same thickness as the current T3 (meaning no larger than a 1500Mh battery IMO) __________________ Mobile Ministry Magazine \| Brighthand \| AntoineRJWright.com \| Jaiku

Perhaps there are two versions coming out, one with a keyboard and one without??? I think the slider made sense on the T1 and T2, but not on a Hires+ machine. When it's open, it's larger than most other PDAs, and it's not that much smaller when closed. And there's really no other reason for it - we don't need buttons the size of quarters. I'd like to see a powerful T\|E-form machine with Wifi. Basically, a Palmone TH55, only with the proper amount of memory and a much faster processor. Or, I'd like to see a Tungsten Treo, a cell-enabled, Tungsten-form machine. That would be sweeeeeeeeeet.

...and a battery the size of a small planet I presume!! Lets face it, 256M RAM with a, lets say, 600MHz cpu and wifi, along with a 480x320 screen would be a mighty thirsty machine....be careful, you may get what you wish for.

(I.E.: Ford Escape> Mazda Tribute, GMC Envoy> Isuzu Ascender) PalmOne should do that with the CLIEs. __________________ NJLx016 HP iPAQ rx3715 Motorola v710 Creative Zen Micro 5GB Nintendo DS

good point and swappable batteries would be fantastic, but unlikely to transpire I fear...

What I'm trying to say here is, when you get a Treo, you'll most likely use it more as an actual organizer -- for schedules, memos, etc. If you like an entertainment device, bring a TH along.

I use my T2 for almost everything - alarm clock, workout log, workout timer, music, audio books, ebooks, astronomy atlas, observation logs, woodworking calculators, word processor, diet assistant, writer's reference, financial planner, a desktop clock all day...

And that's in addition to all the normal things like addresses, calendar, calculator, photos, voice memos, etc.

I don't like using a separate cell phone, but I can't give up 90% of what I use a PDA for just for cellular capabilities, even for something as seriously cool as the Treo 650.
