The first one suddenly grew a whole lot of permanently orange pixels. The second wouldnt connect to the GSM-network and kept whining about insufficient power even though it was fully charged. The third permanently crashed after two hours use.
The Treo 600 is superb in so many ways. Its fast, easy to use, integrates flawlessly with Outlook and has a nice keyboard. Sure, neither the speaker nor the coverage is like purebred phones like a Nokia or a Motorola, but its acceptable.
I ended up trading my Treo in for a Sony Ericsson p910i. Even though the speaker is perfect, the screen is much bigger and better, and a number of the phoniesh functionality is way better, I sometimes miss my Treo. I think its mainly due to the Treos superior keyboard and general responsiveness.
Now, if they could only make the damned thing work
USA is - and has always been - the most moral country. I dare not think of what kind of hell my country (Norway) would be if the American people suffered the same moral cowardice that predominates the rest of the free world.
While Europe by the end of the eighteenth century was morally corrupt, with various dictatorships striving for evermore power, the land of the free kept the better parts of the continent out of harms way.
Unfortunately, the evil that made us lose the argument to the totalitarians are gradually persuading your countrymen as well.
Not since the days of Hitler and Stalin - perhaps not ever - has the threat to peace and freedom so blatantly admitted their motives and agenda. They hate the western world for being free, western people for being happy, western countries for being successful. They hate us for being good, and the US for being the best.
In the eyes of Osama Bin Laden and millions of agreeing Muslims, life is not to be enjoyed. Self-esteem is a sin. Since we don't agree, they want us to die.
I can't think of anything more moral than self-preservation. We are presently in a situation where a great number of people are staking their lives at killing the most of us. There is no practical or moral alternative, extinguish all military capability by all actual and potential enemies, or await the size of the next disaster.
Neville Chamberlain thought evil could be appeased by granting Hitler lebensraum in Czechoslovakia. Despite its obvious failure his tactic is the model for present-day liberals in both Europe and the US. Now, as then, the suggested solution is to negotiate with people whose stated goal is to kill you. Is there anyone out there who seriously believes the Muslim fundamentalists are less dangerous or have better motives than the nazis? Is there anyone who believes Saddam will hesitate to push his button when the Iraqi scientists give him the option?
This is not a complicated issue. Bad moral is fooling some into thinking we owe our executors something. We don't.

Writing and capitalizing is also hard. Apparently.
I bought a Treo 600 in July.
Ive never had a phone with so many problems.

The iPod does make Apple some money, but their primary goal seems to be making Apple's DRM-technology the basis for all things DRM.

You really got it backwards.
First of all, the entire world, including the US, is "nothing more" than a profit potential.
Second, neither the Americans, nor the rest of us, understand this.
Silly me thinking the alternative indeed was better...
