In my view, a lot more carrier and user testing should have been done. Treo650 was just an evolutionary product, and we shouldn’t have to expect those kind of problems.

I had the same sneaking suspicion that it was rushed to the market. but that’s just me.

The quality and user experience have taken a backseat in the rush to get to market. And most technologists I know don’t know a thing about doing a consumer product – they are so caught up in the coolness of a technology as well as cramping in features after features. Even Palm has done the same mistake – in recent times with Treo 650, the product wasn’t simply ready for primetime.
