It's been over a month since I lost my phone, but I'm taking my time deciding what its replacement will be. Thanks to Sasha and her old 7650, I didn't have to scramble for a new smartphone, and possibly waste hard-earned money.

Looks like the waiting may pay off. Now that Cingular offers the Treo 680 for only $199.99 (with a two-year contract of course), the smartphone looks really interesting. It features nothing revolutionary, but at that price, surely more people will consider buying it.

As for me, I'm at the point where I'm trying to come up with reasons not to buy the smartphone. These generally positive reviews make it harder:

My one night with a test unit also left a very good impression. More on that in a bit.
