Treo vs iPhone

I honestly don't understand all the hype around the iPhone. Especially now, after all of the things that it doesn't do have been revealed. Of course there are hardcore Apple zombie-fans that will buy anything their master produces, but there aren't many of them.

And while people are waiting in a huge line in front of the apple store, you can go and buy pretty much any smartphone and it will do all the same stuff and will cost much less(especially with the contract) And if you do some research you can get even a better deal online. For example I got my Treo 650 on ebay for $150. Plus Unlocked GSM Treo will work all over the world and both with Cingular and T-mobile. Moreover, T-mobile(that's what I have) has a $5.99 unlimited data-plan called t-zones. Compare that with $60 or something like that for iPhone data plan. With t-zones I can go online(at GRPS speeds, which is fine for mobile needs), use SSH, get RSS, etc. It seems that pretty much every port is open.

You can get a 4Gb SD card for like $100 and fill it with music which will instantly merge your Treo and iPod. And of course there Google Maps(and GPS software like TomTom) for Treo.

I'm not saying that iPhone is bad. It looks cool, but it doesn't really do much for the money it costs.
