Its not fair Verizon and Sprint sold the treo 700 for Around $650 making it a high end luxury phone Business. Now cingular is selling it for just 200 marketed for kids. And the worst part is they do the Exact same thing. There goes Treo from high end to everyone has one like the razr now.

I think its wonderful, great competition. Smartphones are the wave of the future. The more people use them, the more the demand, the more the supply will increase, more money will be spent on R&D. Life is good.
