Just visited my local Sprint PCS store and was AMAZED that the store employees (Sales staff) could not explain to me the technology used for DATA .. i.e. 1xRTT, 1xEVDO .. download speeds, etc. These kids didn't even know how to use / demo the Treo 650 for me.
Also, it took multiple attempts to connect to the web and then it was VERY SLOW. It's the first time I've seen the Treo 650 and was not impressed as a result of Sprint PCS' inexperienced, unknowledgable staff and questionable service coverage.
Not surprisingly, T-Mobile was not better in showing me their BlackBerry and Treo 600 products.
Looks like I'll stick with a separate phone and PDA for a while.
