Review of the Handspring Treo

WARNING: This is a rant.
Walter Mossberg is an idiot. Meaning I don't think I have ever agreed with one of his gadget reviews with the exeption of the original Handspring Visor. Why would you use this retardo phone. I wouldn't be caught dead with it. Check out the 3G phones from DoCoMo for great portable devices in this category. (although they have software bugs, the hardware is tremendous.)
Dumb guy, dumber phone.
Unless you think that big is the new small....
WOW, what a bargain. Well I know what I'm gonna use mine for! "Reminder: call smelly guy in front of my apartment and comment that 'While the cost of this device might be enough to save people like you, I'm sure the unecessary convenience it offers me will one day be as valuable as the lives of multiple human beings.'" Homeless people have cellphones, right?
(Disclaimer: No one wants to force you to spend your money helping people not die instead of buying insanely priced doo-hickeys that you don't need, but I reserve the right to make fun of you for choosing not to in such a rediculously extreme example as buying things like this. As always, it's just my opinion.)
