More about the damned Treo

Yeah, I know.

I unboxed the Treo 650 when I got home tonight, synced the Treo 600 one last time, pulled out the SIM card and my SD, popped them in the 650, cabled it up to the Mac, synced the 650 (which took about ten minutes thanks to thousands of calendar events), and blam. Ready to go.

What's good:

  • The screen is the secks. Seriously. It's so much better than the 600 that it's just ludicrous that Palm actually released the pile of crap that is the 600. They should have called it an internal beta or a prototype.
  • The keyboard is drastically improved. I always envied the crackberry monkeys because they could actually type with their fingertips. Now I can too.
  • Bluetooth. Bluetooth is why I bought the Mac. Well, Salling Clicker is why I impulse-bought the Mac back when I had a T68i. ("Hmm, I need a laptop and this little app looks really cool!") Now I can sync via Bluetooth and run Clicker.
  • Removable battery. And it came half-charged, so none of that silly "leave it on the charger for at least three hours before playing with your new toy" nonsense.

What's not good:

I'm up late because I swear the housekeepers stuffed our sheets in a pumpkin before putting them on the bed, and the smell was weird enough to keep me from sleeping. Kat has a bit of selective anosmia, so she wasn't affected.

Anyway, to say I've regretted buying the LGDVB418 upscaling DVD player would be a bit of an understatement, on a par with saying your mom gives a nice hummer.
