My cell-phone contract expires in 4 months, so Im shopping around for a new phone.
Im currently looking at the Treo 650. Its the only phone available in the US that passes my qualifications:
1) Be a true smart phone; run a real OS, not something LG hobbled together over a weekend.
2) *NOT* run Windows. I cant stress this enough.
3) Have a built-in camera. Quality is not relevant.
4) Mp3 ring tones. I dont care about stock ring tones, Ill install my own, it just needs to be able to use mp3s.
5) Send and receive email.
6) Browse the web.
The Treo 650 has the advantage that it runs the Palm OS, which means I can use all my old Palm apps.
I stopped by a local Verizon store today and played around with the floor model, and I like it. The keypad is usable, the screen is great, and its not too small.
However, Im sure some of you will have an opinion, one way or the other, and Id like to hear it.

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.
