Price.
If renewing your contract, $99 vs $249 is a big deal for some people, especially with the current economy.
If buying in-contract, then $120-180 (800w) vs $450+ (Treo Pro) is also a large difference.
Now the question should be is the Treo Pro worth the extra $150-$350? For some yes, for others definitely not.
Finally, while the STP has some very nice features, it's not all "win" IMO. For instance, I dearly miss a lot of the Palm OS tweaks, Palm threaded SMS, hardware buttons, feel of the 800w, speed of the OS, the ton of RAM and the older version of IE. OTOH, I really like the thinness of the STP, Google "My Location" feature, excellent LCD, & nice size battery.
