Treo 680 a bit of a let down

FOXNews.com - Review: Palm's Treo 680 Smartphone Should Cost Less, Do More - Technology News | News On Technology

Check out FOX News review of the Treo 680. You'd think the upgrades would be more in line with today's Smartphones like the BlackJack, Q, and E62. Oh well, what can you do. Wait for the 750 I guess.
