Had the 8525, was a real pain to use..you really need 2 hands. I became an expert at sideways one fingered typing to try to find a contact, but it was a poor excuse for a phone. Not to mention its a brick to carry around…might be superior in specs, but its inferior in practical, everyday use.

I like the exposed keyboard….. I’d love to get the 8525, but I Think I’d hate using is one handed.

JG and Charles,

Thanks for the updates guys. How the hell can Palm release such a crippled phone?

Maybe the delays are to make sure you dont need a hack to use HSDPA…..

As of today there is still only going to be UMTS for the Cingular Treo 750 at launch. HSDPA will be added as a firmware update in the spring along with PTT support.

Jon-
The Treo 750 that people are importing from Vodafone networks, are all capable of HSDPA on Cingulars network. I believe a simple reg hack enables HSDPA…

BG,

Any final word on if this will have HSDPA?

Release date?

Thanks, and keep up the good work!
