Obviously, it depends on what you want to use it for. It is better at multimedia, music, videos, etc. It has a better browser. It is sexy. But, if you want to add all kinds of programs, have good email, faster broadband speeds, better PIM (calender, to-do, etc), better document handling (like Word, Excel, etc), the Treo wins.

It depends on what you want it for.

If you want it for business uses, I say no. There is no MSword or excel creating or editing.

If you want it just for cool looking features, like flipping notebook pages, scrolling album covers, zooming in and out on web pages, opening multiple browser windows, maybe.

iPhone has the absolute BEST browser on any smartphone, and, I feel, has among the best personal email solutions (you can get folders, and push-ish email).

It doesn't have a great calendar or memo program (although they are there), and I don't love the keyboard. The phone looks and feels nice in your hand and pocket. For me, the Treos are too thick to keep in your pocket.

You can't edit word, excel, etc. documents (which after years of owning a Treo, I have realized that I have never actually done or needed to do on a Treo).

iPhone has Wifi and the slow AT&T dial up.

I would wait until the next iPhone version before even considering it seriously.

The iPhone is really an mp3 player and webbrowser/email reader first. If you need to do alot of anything else, it may be more difficult.

iphone will be absolutely better if it comes with qwerty keyboard. if you want productivity, BB and Treo are much better.

Then it will lose what it really has going for it: A big screen. Without that big display, the Iphone would be a major loser.

I see the Iphone vs Treo like this. The Iphone is a great mobile media device. It excels in this regard tremendiously. However, as a "Smartphone/PDA" it falls short in many regards. What it boils down to is what you want to use your phone for. If it is more important that your phone act like a PDA, then get a Treo. If it is more important to you to watch videos, listen to music, and visit with friends (and you don't mind AT&T), then get an Iphone.
