While the Treo 680 is a fantastic smartphone, the long-rumored Apple iPhone looks like it will be the “Smartphone-Killer”. Nevertheless, read on…

The all-new Palm Treo 680 smartphone is a phone with email, messaging, and web access. Not to mention contacts, calendar, photos, and my music! Sounds like a lot. And it is.

The same goes for design. It’s got a large color touchscreen and an easy-type keyboard. I can take it anywhere and still be connected to friends, work, and family. Of course, there’s also something called an “off” button, for when I don’t want to be connected at all.

The best thing is that I already have a ton of software for the Palm platform, like my Bible, which also contains the most accurate version I’ve found - the Revised English Bible. Plus, my Formula One racing game. Both critical to the health of my soul.

So I’ll be combining my iPod, cell phone and PDA in one device, finally! And best of all, it’s coming to my existing cell-phone provider, Cingular.

Stay tuned for a review, once I’ve actually brought it home.
