I meant stolen phones... some companys have hot lists that seach for stolen phone ID numbers. On another note.... that treo 600 is niceness... I've been waiting for the sizes of there phone/pdas to get smaller.

the treo 600 is probably the best phone I've tested this year

pros

wireless web in html or wap
pda
camera

cons
expensive
low res screen
low res camera
internet is still a bit slow

from the article kingka posted:

For everyone that bought a Treo 600, and waited many many months to get it, Bargain PDA just posted information of a possible succesor, the Treo 610. With a higher-resolution screen, Bluetooth, more memory it should be the same size as the 600, and hit the street this March.

Now you can use just one device—instead of many—to get it all done. The Treo 610 is an update to the successful Treo 600 Phone from HandSpring. The 610 will include BlueTooth, Hi-Res Screen and greater amount of memory than the Treo 600.

The Treo 610 will include all the original features of the Treo 600. It will seamlessly combine a full-featured mobile phone and Palm OS organizer with wireless applications like email, text messaging, web browsing and even a digital camera. And you get it all in one device that's so small it fits right in your pocket.

couple of sweet phones from samsung....





saw a korean CF for this, looked pretty nice. I'll try and post the CF here.

[ironmonqui]

Dang. The sweet cam-phones on eBay ain't too cheap either.

HUmph! And I need one with a decent calendar and a place for mailing addresses...

Guess I really will have to spend $2-400 US.

Then next year, watch ATT have them for $20...

[slackerbot]

i know.. phone prices drop quick. Cingular has the v400 for like $150 and Best Buy is selling for $99.

i'm thinking/hoping that ATT will offer a rebate for the v600 a couple of months after release.

I'm goint to wait 1 full year befor buying a PMP or cellphone.

by that time they will have some pretty nice phone, that are smaller and slimmer, and the PMP players will hold more, and look alot sexier. hopefully alot cheaper. but I'll be posting picks and info on new phones and PMP's that are being released now.

I know samsung is comming out with a few nice looking PMP gadgets can't wait to see em.

[kingka]
