Verizon is slow

I've been cruising on the net and everywhere I look, there are newer Treo's being added to Sprint and Cingular. TMobile doesn't seem to be interested in Treo's so I'm not going to mention them too much. Almost every new Treo that I see recently in the news is for either Sprint or Cingular.

Lets take a couple examples shall we? First up is the Treo 680, a nice Palm based Treo thats exclusive right now for Cingular. It's been out for a few months already and it's supposed to better than the 700p that is available currently (and for over a year I might add) for Verizon. I haven't seen any plans for this device yet for Verizon. I also just heard that a 755p is coming out for Sprint, again where is the new Treo for Verizon? I know it took almost a year from the Treo 650 release for Verizon to get it. The only thing they ever came out with first was the 700W but since then, the two other carriers have had the great releases.

The Treo that I want is probably going to be a Palm based one, the 755p if I can hold out long enough since I'm eligible to upgrade in about 17 days. Failing that, and if it comes out sooner, I'll get the Treo 750 which is Windows Mobile based since I have this feeling that it'll get to Verizon sooner. What I really want is for Verizon to pick up the pace so that I'm not compelled to switch to Cingular because of roll over minutes and the better phones, oh and GSM too :)
