Default Oops...

I neglected to include an option for the new buttons, and the Upgraded camera w/ camcorder...

I should have done the button option... but even if the camera is better, that can't be the most important, can it???

More buttons = More gooder!

Less RAM = Less gooder.

Newly dedicated I suppose, but they're just the Phone and Screen-off/Keylock buttons with a slightly different functionality.

Default EDGE Suppor, of course

EDGE support (on GSM) models. EDGE along with Blazer 4, a faster processor, and 320 resoluton will be a huge improvement for the web browsing experience.
I wasn't going to upgrade to 650 until I heard this feature announced.

EDGE / 1xRTT should have been added to the poll.

Gotta be the 320x320 screen.

(Bluetooth...will just kill the battery quicker)
(Edge...i use Sprint)
(Garnet...cool..but not the best feature)
(New Keys...all that will do is make it easier for friends to use my phone)
(Fatser proc...will be cool if it lets me use my maps...MTA maps in dev corner)
(Blazer 4....see Faster Proc)
(better camera...i got used to having a ****ty one that i never use)


The 320x320 screen by itself will improve Web browsing and will allow for more applications and games to run on the treo.

Note that the Garnet upgrade is basically bug fixes and some Chinese support. Not exactly cool, and definitely not really new features.

Also note that the 320x320 screen will use more battery than Bluetooth. It has more pixels to light which also means more battery power for the processor because it is working harder to compute how to light those pixels.

Not trying to be a jerk, just pointing it out.

One of the best new features for me is being to work directly with MS Exchange!!!! No more having to sync to update Outlook.
