Treo 650 cell service. What's the scoop

I was thinking of getting one of these phones. But after seeing so many posts regarding pairing problems I'm wondering what's the best Cell service for the Treo? GSM or CDMA? Someone said Verizion and sprint are the worse because they cripple some of the phone's useful features. That leaves Cingular and T-Mobile. ( T-Mobile) dosn't have the 650 yet unless you have an unlocked phone. Maybe some of you can chime in with some of your first hand knowledge.

I don't think BT DUN works on Verizon, but as phone and wireless internet network coverage is excellent. I am a direhard Palm OS fan and have lots of programs that are Palm OS specific. The cellphone service on Verizon is as excellent as my previous Verizon regular cellphone.

What good is a cellphone if the coverage is not good in your area. Find out what cellphone service has good coverage and pick it from there.

However, maybe you want to stick with your current cellphone service and buy a Treo 650 from your current service provider because they can give you a deal for a being a their customer.

I have used the VZW Treo 650 for 1.5 months and have no major problems...only gripe is that the Treo 650 has limited amount of memory (only 22MB free)....You can add a SD card, but not all programs can run on the SD card.
