This poll is your chance to vote on what you feel is the single most important feature for Handspring to add in an upcoming Treo...

Hopefully, this will be considered useful information to Handspring as they design the next Treo.

Thanks!

How about optional Grafitti on ALL models!!!!!

I hate the little thumb keyboards. Real Palm users use Graffiti, they need to stop pandering to yuppies who want the latest toy and take care of their Palm enthusiast base.

No Graffiti area means a less useful Palm device.

No Graffiti area on the next Treo means I will look elsewhere and buy a Kyocera or something.

The only way I would even consider buying a Treo is if it had graffitti and a springboard slot, but then it would be a Visor and they don't make those anymore. :)

How about sharing some constructive reasons why you like Graffiti so much... instead of just hurling insults.

No insults.
Not hurling a thing.
When the electric typewriter came out, some chose to keep their manual.
When Windows was introduced, some stayed with DOS.
Graffiti is the source of communication with our handheld. It has been the staple of all owners to spend a weekend learning the graffiti and the challenge of mastering the technique and style. It a personal victory to sit in a meeting and take notes that you can read later.
So the need to have a Treo or Visor; Clie’ or Palm; or any other handheld with the capability of graffiti is just one of those things most owners would like to have.
The Treo 90 is a nice unit. Personally I feel that I would prefer to have the option of Graffiti would be nice.
Actually, I have found my own handwriting change to resemble the graffiti shorthand.

Wah, wah, wah.......if you wanted grafitti there are many grafitti pda's. The Treo's built in keyboard is GREAT!! I've been using the grafitti based palms for five years and they're dinosaurs. A pain in the ass to write with and slow to use. The Treo is the perfect blend of size and utility. Quit whining and choose your style and use it. The Treo is a great PDA; but if you like to struggle with grafitti......stay with a palm device. Or better yet, use a pad of paper!
