Is anybody suprised by this?? I've had a smartphone for three years now. I started with a blackberry, had 2 of those so far, and now I'm using the Blackjack 2. I'll never go back to a regular phone.
I had treo 650 soon after it came out, that lasted almost 2 years, had a samsung WM5 thing piece of crap for 4 months the screen stop[ed working & now back to Palm with my centro!

She has a Treo 755p & wont go back either!
