As far as I can tell, the only difference between the Treo 680 and 700p is that the 700p has an antenna sticking out of it.
And the 700p is more expensive on most plans. Feature-wise, I can't tell the difference either.

I really like my Razr, but it isn't the ideal phone if you are doing a lot of texting/typing...

The first three on that list are Cingular, the other three are Verizon. So I could choose either plan. I do have Cingular now, and I know it works at home (mostly) and at work. Don't know what Verizon's coverage is like in my neck of the woods.
Maria - thanks for the input. I think I'll have a learning curve anyway, since I don't have anything more than the numeric keypad now.
And I've heard the same complaints you have about the Treo from a few users here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Which has better coverage on Mars?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I mean, if you went with Cingular you could always upgrade later to the iPhone. So that's something to think about.

I don't think I'll get signal there, tommyrot, but one day, man, one day....
I don't know anyone here who has a Pearl, so can't go play. I can get a bunch of Treo user experiences, though.

good point. Might as well stick with Cingular, then. Of course, who knows if my workplace will ever support/allow the iPhone. I can hope!

I hear Mars already has a Starbucks though.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
The work cell is Verizon and the personal is Cingular. I have roughly the same coverage from both in the office and at home. I need to keep Cingular on one of the phones because I use it when I travel overseas. A quad-band phone will work anywhere.
That being said, Verizon's EV-DO network for data blows Cingular's EDGE network out of the water. Average speeds on Verizon's network range from 650-750 kbps. LA is one of the cities that is currently EV-DO capable. Laptop tethering is also fast and easy. Would they allow you to do a 30 day trial to see if you get coverage?

If it doesn't bother you, just go into a Cingular store and play with one.
If you get it sight-unseen, I know Cingular has a 30-day return policy, so you should be able to choose another phone without a hassle.
