Never mind about the frequent crashes, how about the ability to simply operate as a telephone. Telephones are full duplex right? ie you can both talk at the same time and be heard at the same time. Half duplex is like a walky talky; one talks the other listens. How about a "telephone" where the owner (person A) can always hear the other end (person B), but B can only hear A when B is not talking. I am given to understand that this problem is present in many Treo models; it certainly seems to be present in my UK spec 650.
Try this; ring someone patient with your Treo. Ask them to count up to 5000 in thousands (ie 1000, 2000, 3000 etc) and while they are doing so, you say something to them. When they are done, ask them what you said. If the reply is that you didn't say anything, then your phone has 3/4 duplex disease.
Maybe they should fix this before adding any more bells and whistles. Phones are expected to be full duplex these days. It's not really a phone if it isn't.
