Well, i'm trying to decide which smartphone i should buy: the Palm Treo 650 or the 680.

But why a Palm Treo and not other models?
Because i want it mainly for its palm functions and OS. I don't use those e-mail functions or internet on the cellphone. I want a PDA that also works as a phone - most medical programs (books, calculators) are for the palm OS.

And why a 650 or 680?
Because my carrier is GSM based.

That said, i want some help - the Treo 680 is prettier (has a red version, is a bit more compact - no antenna), but is more expensive (400 dollars) and i read its battery isn't the greatest thing ever. But then the 650 is a bit older, cheaper but a bit uglier...

Or should i forget all of this and buy a Palm Tungsten E2 ?

Check cnet.com I find them to have the best reviews of these types of items.

I read about them on there :/ But it didn't help me that much... I think i'm gonna be cheap and buy either the Treo 650 or a regular Palm...

But the crimson 680 is so beautiful!

Not sure if this one will be released anytime soon in Brazil but have you heard of the Palm Centro? It is sleeker looking than others and it is getting great reviews.

Probably it won't be released soon, but either way, it's for CDMA-based carriers, and i use a GSM one - because mine is the best on the market, yay (Tim Brasil). Unless they make another to GSM (the ones that have chips).

what about a Blackberry?

What does a blackberry does? I don't need e-mailing or web functions on my cellphone (it's too expensive here in brazil, plus i don't need to be online all the time)

I heard the Iphone is the best smart phone, hands down, not sure tho.
