yeah i think he was just saying he wants something with a qwerty keyboard. the samsung u740 isnt either, if im thinking of the right phone.
and my friend have the palm treo, and the battery lasted for about 3 hours at a time and it was brand new. it constantly had to be charged or connected to an external battery.
idk about the new palm, but i would stay away from the treos. it just seems like too much of a hassle. they do have a lot of cool stuff on them though
