I want to change my Treo 650 to something like the Samsung i600 (Blackjack)

I want to change my Palm Treo 650.

Don’t get me wrong - it’s a great phone, an excellent phone in fact! But these days it’s becoming too much of a giant in the land of the slimmies. Plus, it doesn’t have Wi-Fi, which is quite a big drawback since I can get a free wireless connection pretty much anywhere these days.

I love the keyboard though - I type amazingly fast compared to my friends who are using the normal numeric keypads. And this is really important to me because I have so many thoughts and ideas and things that I need to jot down or work on that a physical keyboard is a MUST.

That’s why phones like the Samsung i600 (Blackjack) drew my attention. These phones have everything I need - the keyboard, wifi, slim form factor…

Everything save for one fatal flaw….no touchscreen.

What a bummer. I know people are saying that the scrollwheel can almost replace the touchscreen, but I think it just doesn’t. With text operations like copy-and-paste, there’s really nothing that beats a touchscreen. So I guess it’s going to be more waiting for a Samsung i600 phone with touchscreen.
