And they’re offering a discount for current Treo owners.

I really love my Treo 300. It’s my phone, PDA, mobile web browser and pager. And with this accessory, I’m never without a pen, which is really great, especially when Geocaching. Nothing’s worse than hiking miles to a cache only to realize you forgot a pen to sign it.

This pen could have been executed a little better though. It doesn’t have the same weight as the standard treo stylus. The pen rattles when the phone vibrates, which for me is almost all the time. The pen doesn’t fit in as snugly as the stylus. Lastly, it would be nice if the the pen didn’t have a cap since it’s easy to lose and I usually end up holding it in my mouth. (yuck!) Regardless, it’s so useful that I’m terrified everytime I think I’ve lost it. And that has has happened several times – I’ve found it on the ground and lying in the middle of some grass a couple of times.

Back to the new Treo, I’m excited by the sleeker form factor, getting rid of that fragile and squaky hinge, and better performance, especially when downloading web pages. Having a digital camera with me all the time would be nice as well, even if it is at a relatively low resolution. Ideally, it would have a hard drive in there too, so I could have my phone/PDA/internet access device (wifi too!)/camera/iPod/GPS/FRS Radio. Ok, maybe that’s a bit demanding right now, but you know it’s all going to come together eventually.

Considering my Treo is only 7 months old, it seems a little soon to make another purchase. Then again, I could sell my treo and come out with a new one for $300 or so. Hmmm…

I don’t think it’s going to happen though as my purchase request has already been declined by the Office of Capital Expenditures (hi Anne!). I’ve got 16 days to make my plea.

Is it too early to ask for Christmas gifts?
