Hey Bob, didnt know you where in Pitt; I am a Philly man myself (though now living in the DC Metro area).

But back on topic:
I will not be going to a 700p. While I am impressed at the memory and EVDO options, for the same reason that the poster above has about GSM and switching phones at will, I too have that same impetitus. I like that I can go and get a new phone when I feel. And though I did get my 650 from Cingular a week before Christmas for $150 (great deal, even as being a refirb), I really have been pleased.

I played with an MDA tonite, and though the package was nice, the OS really isnt there yet. My Treo spolied the heck outa me and I cannot see getting anything that doesnt meet its bar in terms of ease of use. For now, I can deal in part in terms of no multitasking, but that is only because I have learned to deal with it. As I use my Treo more and more (its my main and only computer), I find that it does have deficiencies, but most definitely has benefits too. HSDPA and UTMS would clear multitasking in my mind almost completly.
