Making the switch from Treo 650 to SMT5600

[Guest shengs]

I've recently switched from a Treo 650 to a SMT5600. Here are my observations:

Some things I missed about the Treo 650 that the smartphone doesn't have:

- keypad!

- no touch screen :)

- navigating the favorites (Treo had tables of the favorites instead of just a list)

- assign customized ringtones (I heard this can be done with a hack)

- can't turn the screen off after use, have to wait for the display to go off by itself

- no restart/reset button when it crashes

- can't read Excel docs out of the box

- doesn't sync Notes/Memos from Outlook

- doesn't take a regular SD card, needs miniSD

Things I love:

- it's so much smaller! This is the best...

- The T9 is useful on the numeric keypad

- customizable home screen (I'm using a cool Grid screen)

- much cheaper than the Treo, almost half price

- battery lasts much longer

- File Explorer, you can easily transfer files from PC to phone
