Which cell phone?

I want a total package phone; palm, mp3 (actually ogg would be better), phone, web access, etc. I'm leaning heavily towards the Treo 600 but I keep asking myself if there might not be a better choice, either now or in the near future (like within 3-6 months). So what's your opinions?

I want it to run palm, not pocket pc or other os. I would love it play ogg, but will settle for mp3, so it needs stereo headphone capability. Expansion slot of course, decent phone quality, web access. I don't really need the camera, but if I'm gonna get one anyway I'd rather it be somewhat usable. I like the idea of a small keyboard (like the treo) but would make do without one, especially if it had some method of add-on, like bluetooth or something. I prefer larger devices to smaller ones...too small and buttons and screen are useless. If I could find one the same size as a normal palm it would be ideal, but a little smaller is ok too..the treo borders on being too small though.

Doesn't matter since we can keep numbers when switching. I've always had sprint, but honestly their customer service is the worst of any company in the free world. Their coverage in SW Washington and western Oregon is pitiful as well, so I wouldn't be losing much to drop em. But I'm only going to change if I KNOW that the one I'm changing too is better.

I used to tech support Nextel. Well formed company, good services (not good service necessarily as coverage is often CRAP), ultra SECURE network...and of course, motorola phones are about the highest quality in existence...anyone know what a lingo is :cool: nuff said.

But not really what I want or need.

While Moto used to make solid phones, ask any user other then Nextel and you'll get very mixed reviews. They must save their best stuff for Nextel.

Being with Sprint you should know that Sanyo makes the best phones out there IMHO.
