Wow, you must be lucky. Does your Treo have the "constantly going into power-saving mode" problem? Like, launch the Camera app, and then wait 10-15 seconds ... does it turn the screen off on you? I have mine set to 3 minutes in Preferences, yet so often it turns the screen off in less than 10 seconds. This causes some apps to freak out if it happens mid-action and reset. Only one reset? Wow, you must be lucky.

It's been pretty stable. Patrick, oh boy... me too. I feel like I am inhaling marbles and there is a girl scout campfire inside my chest. Dossy, I’ve only had 1 phantom reset.

Considering it's a new Treo, it might not be happening that much, but that's the biggest problem with PalmOS-based stuff, the lack of protection at the OS level ... even the smallest bug causes an involuntary reset.

I'm a long-time Pocket PC user, but also a 650 owner for nearly a year now. Love the form factor and one-handededness - but find some of the same quirks you've been commenting on annoying. And the lack of multi-tasking is a real big weakness. I've been trialing the Cingular 8125 and think I may trade in the 650 for it. Oh, and hope your plague passes quickly ...
