That's because you just demonstrated your ignorance of OEM business.
Palm
designs the Treo from top to bottom and designate all the components that go into based on their own prototypes. Plus they customize the OS that they co-engineered with MS (read
HERE and
HERE.)
All HTC does is mass produce them. They have absolutely ZERO input on design or choice of materials.
That's all HTC did up until that last 12 months when they went solo and started making their own devices w/ their own branding.
Now HTC calls the shots on design, parts and materials for their phones, though still not Palms. Palm has since started using other manufactures, in addition to HTC, like Invatec due to them being a competitor now more than just contracted manufacturing.
I still maintain
(1) Palm has higher quality devices in terms of hardware. They just feel more solid and not cheap, unlike the 6700 and as some have contended, the 6800.
(2) Palm does a much, much better job of OS customization and memory allocation. Hence why a 6800 has the same RAM as a 700wx, yet somehow, the 700wx has "available" 47mb of RAM after a reboot and the 6800 only has 20-something.
(3) The 6800
should have a "nicer screen" as well as a better processor and camera, it is after all brand new, whereas the 700w design is nearly 1.5 years old already...
That's the
least you can expect from a new device: it's better than something 1.5 years ago
All that and the Kaiser still
kills the Mogul on every feature. That's the phone Sprint should have gotten but will go to AT&T come August (
