hello everyone,

I have been a blackberry user for a bit, however, I'm moving to a country which has no blackberry service, which kills me because I just love the interface and the snappy OS. So now I must find me a good replacement.

I'm torn between a Palm Treo 680 or an HTC S630

I have asked many of my friends, but they don't seem to understand what I want. I ask here since many here are Mac users and can understand what I want:

I want a phone that is snappy and responsive, with not much lag time, and something that over time won't slow, something like my Mac. What is a more suitable smart phone OS? Palm OS? or Windows Mobile 6?

I have basic requirements, email, web browsing, sms. I just don't want a slow phone. I want something with a nice easy to navigate menu.

thanks!
 
Of the 2 listed the HTC S630
The 680 is long in the tooth (barely a step up from the 650), granted the Palm OS community is alive and kickin some serious azz with various apps and Palm don't care if you unlock their phones :)

But which ever makes you happy
 
If you decide on the 680 and want to buy one that is almost brand new and unlocked PM me. I'll give you a good deal on the one I stopped using when I got my iPhone.
