With the lawsuit against Blackberry, the fact that it is too proprietary and other smart devices such as the Palm Treo are much more user friendly, it seems to be falling by the wayside.
Wireless high speed data connection cards for laptops that allow you to be online anywhere and broadband smart devices have really been gaining popularity.

Not compared with Treo, there is a lot more software available for it, and rapidly growing. The new EVDO Treo is very cool.Pengwuino said:
