Palm should fix Find first

On the Tungsten E2, Find returns the same 8 names in the contact database (<a class="jive-link-external" href="http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,kb=PalmSupportKB,CASE=obj" target="_newWindow">http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,kb=PalmSupportKB,CASE=obj</a>(38782),ts=Palm_External2001) (solution: buy shareware), won't turn on when one of the hard buttons are pressed (<a class="jive-link-external" href="http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=20,E=0000000000388817834,K=8641,Sxi=16,useTemplate=Case.tem,CASE=39261" target="_newWindow">http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=20,E=0000000000388817834,K=8641,Sxi=16,useTemplate=Case.tem,CASE=39261</a>) , has a birthday reminder bug that will drain your batteries (<a class="jive-link-external" href="http://forums.palm.com/pe/action/forums/displaysinglethread?rootPostID=20257841&#38;returnExpertiseCode=" target="_newWindow">http://forums.palm.com/pe/action/forums/displaysinglethread?rootPostID=20257841&#38;returnExpertiseCode=</a>) and several other bugs.

Palm simply cannot design hardware

Ever since the Palm V, Palm has gone downhill. That was really the last of the "good" Palm designs - rugged, simple, and so usable!

Bite your tounge!

I have a Treo 650. I will upgrade to a Treo 700p. I will NEVER
(repeat) NEVER trust my cell phone (nor my computer) to
Microshaft. The Treo is a wonderful product!!!

I had a Palm Pilot. It worked well, but I was not happy with the
limited functionality. The Treo is everything I want. It's a great
smartphone.

I disagree with your opinion.
But then again...I'm drunk!!!!!!!!!

Windows OS?

I bought my first Treo (300) over other full QWERTY keyboard
offerings for one reason: the Treo was Mac compatible. I upgraded
my Treos as new models were released. If in this switch, they lose
that Mac compatibility, as soon as my 650 kicks the bucket, they'll
lose me as a customer as well. Hopefully they'll address this issue
with care.
