Re: Now Treo 650s, was New Sonos Player



Peter -

Thanks ... good info' ... 'wonder if there's a down-load to fix the=20=20
crashes, or maybe they're due to reception problems ?

'never have been a fan of our '6310s, though - the user interface=20=20
doesn't flow, for me at least, and one of our two is too prone to=20=20

Triums, until after some years their batteries expired ... 'wife now=20=20

any-network deal, but when I ran a spreadsheet on what's on offer via=20=20

extra, of course, or as far as I can find out, at 2.34GBP per 2Meg=20=20
(IIRC), so I hope it has good filters, to control the downloads !   =

My main interest, however, is in its 'phone & pda functions
(having=20=20
dropped & cracked the screen of my Palm, and pencil & paper
not=20=20
giving me quite the same functionality!)
