How many of you moved from Palm Treo to iPhone ? - iPhone 3G

I officially made the move from Sprint Palm Treo 700p to Apple iPhone on Sept 13th 2007. How many of you have made similar moves ? I used to visit a website called Treonauts.com on a daily basis and buy accessories for my Treo there. Now I spend all of my time (and money, lol) here on the iCafe website. I actually visited my old haunt Treonauts recently, and was slightly dissappointed about how skimpy there message boards are compared to here. Our community is much more lively. In fact, I learned about this website way before Sept 2007 because the owner belongs to the same NY Islander message board I go to. iCafe is awesome !!

I did. Funny enough, i came here today after receiving the treo newsletter and seeing how skimpy the information was. I thought, i might pass by and see what's going here. I dont think its about the iPhone being a superior phone but more like Palm just ceasing to innovate. I would have moved to a windows device if this hadnt come along.

I did. I had a treo 650 that was driving me crazy. It kept crashing and going into endless loops. I reinstalled everything dozens of times (not an exaggeration ). Had to reenter all those serial numbers too.
The iPhone has been heaven till I got that dead strip yesterday.

I used a Treo 650 for two years and my contract with Sprint ran out last summer in June. I was going to get the new Treo that was running Windows Mobile but I didn't want to pay the full price for it even though Sprint would end me a rebate for my old phone for $150. Then a few weeks later the iPhone came out and I spend the money anyways, more money then I wanted to spend on the Treo.

My previous phone was a Blackberry Curve but I had a Palm Treo 680 and 750 for 6 months before then. And I have to say, IMHO, they are peices of crap!! I really wish I never wasted my time and money on them and got the iPhone from the very start.

Although I have to say, if the iPhone never existed, I'd put the Blackberry Curve above the rest. That's why I will always have it as a backup.

I've always wanted to say that the iPhone is friggin' GREAT!!! And having support on these forums is even better. Every forum I visited for the Treo was just a bunch of complaining with no useful information.

I came from a Sprint Treo. Still have it, and it's still active. Crap, that reminds me, I think it's safe to cut that account off (it's out of contract). I originally kept it, and even carried it with me for a few months on business trips, in case the iPhone--or AT&T coverage--didn't cut it. Meanwhile I haven't used the Treo for more than six months (I have two other lines on Sprint so the Treo has only been costing me $20 per month).

i did, too. had a treo 680 which was not very stable despite the fact that i had only a handful of 3rd party apps on it. bluetooth would shut off every now and then for no reason, and it would just hang from time to time when i tried to open some of the *original* apps like phone and calendar. what a pain. my first treo was a 600 a few years ago - i sold that a few months after i bought it since that one drove me nuts too. i thought that palm would have gotten it right a few years later after having so much time to practice, but no such luck. so glad i never bought palm stock...

I had the treo 650 with cingular... It was crap for me.. Loading a webpage was painfully slow... I even canceled the media web package cause it was a waste of $39.99 a month to use the email and web.. but now with the iphone get get all that and more.. and yes icafe....

I went from a Cingular 650 to a 700 then to my Iphone.. then went back to a 700 cause I hated not being able to drive and text.. <Yeah I'm one of those> and ended up missing the "clarity" of the screen and the crisp graphics that I went back to an IPhone again! LOL.... I'm a woman I'm SUPPOSE to be indecisive

I have a treo 750. It was a decent phone, but the main drawback was poor screen resolution, no wifi. I use it as a backup now or when I want to use my slingbox. I guess if or when I can use slingbox on my iPhone I won't need the treo anymore. I also used to have a treo 650, but it sucked bigtime. I got my iPhone the first day in Oakland, CA. I have been more than satisfied with it.
