The Treo will sport a 320x320 screen and the PPC-7000 will sport a 640x480 screen. Those of us in the Treo camp will not like this because we hate side-sliders. Those in the HTC camp won't dig the Treo because of it's square screen, bulky appearance and lack of hackability. The phones hardware themselves, however, will not be very different.

Those of you shooting for the moon with these devices need to calm down. This happens on the Apple fanboy websites every time speculation of a new Mac happens too. You expect the world and get very disappointed when it finally comes around to launch time.

Just be happy we're getting VGA screens in NA finally. About damn time, IMHO.

Youre on point, im getting too hyped up about this. When i get the phone, i can imagine maybe two days of "WOW" and two weeks or "meh", and then about 4 months of "WE NEED CUSTOM ROMS! NOCHEM SAVE US!"

But i look forward to it, and im pretty sure sprint/htc are already plotting to consume more of us compulsive ppc users with another phone a year from that release date.
