Our wireless phone service is up for renewal beginning at the end of March. I’ve debated whether to get a Blackberry

A new generation CDMA Sprint Treo 800w is rumored to come out 1st Qtr 2008, loaded with WiFi, GPS, 3G internet, Windows Mobile, Bluetooth, yada yada. I will probably get one, as you can get 500 minutes plus unlimited internet access for $30/month from Sprint on the SERO plan, the best deal available that includes hi-speed internet access. Here is a photo of the expected new Treo that came up on a slide show in a Bill Gates keynote speech at CES in Vegas last nite:

Regarding this new portable Asus micro computer, I am also going to seriously consider selling my notebook and buying one, for the portability. My newer notebook has Visduh, and though I have had no problems with it, it is very slow to boot up, which I find very inconvenient. For web surfing when on the road, this might be just big enuf. A smartphone, though indispensible IMHO for looking things up on the internet, is a bit small for serious websurfing.

We’re with Verizon and will continue with their plan. They too have the Treo PDA available, but they’re all too expensive for me. As I noted, I don’t use it for business, am retired, and have no intention of spending hundreds of dollars (again). My Tungsten E2 works just fine for me.

If one were available at a reasonable price, then I’d jump at it. But for what I use it for, a real cash outlay makes no sense.
