I started with a Palm IIIx. I then upgraded through three Sony Clies,
then to a Kyocera 7135 smartphone (Verizon), then two Palm Treos
(Cingular/AT&T). My last was a Treo 680.

I now use an iPhone.

Same here, ever since DateBk3. I've owned every version since, and
I've beta tested most.

I'm having almost the exact opposite reaction. I'm finding that the
iPhone does damn near everything I need with much less muss and fuss
than the Palm. There are two things I'm waiting on before I can send
my Treo into permanent retirement, and they're both from Ilium Software
- a conduit for eWallet and ListPro + conduit.

I certainly don't miss the regular crashes on the Treo that cause the
entire device to reset. About half of the "must have" programs I have
on the Treo are there for no reason other than to compensate for bugs
in the OS (note that is not half of the installed stuff, just the "must
have" stuff).

I had an easy transition.
