I’m a seriously disillusioned Sprint customer in the US and unable to use my Treo 650 (voice and data) anywhere outside the US (unless I find myself in S. Korea and then only voice!!) but committed to a great platform with tons of upside for consumers and business users.
I seek choices from Palm beyond their CDMA visions that they have focused on to-date. I recognize that there are GSM versions but they come later which suggests a lesser priority for the company and its innovators.
If there are two new platforms still to be released in 2006, I can only hope that they will have 3G/GSM technology, unlocked for use around the world, and be available in the US and not just foreign markets. GSM is a global technology prevalent in the US too and Palm does itself a huge disservice by under serving this market. Offering Blackberry connect in the US through Versamail, would also be a huge plus.
If the business user is an important customer too these next generation characteristics are essential for capturing a wider customer base.
Any thoughts on the above would be welcome.
