Recent news has covered the release of many new smart phones. We have the new Treo650, the new Sony P910, the new Audiovox PPC 6000, the new Blackberry 7100, and the new Nokia 6670. Recently, I've been speaking via email almost daily with my AT&T (now Cingular) rep. For some reason, the conversation always steers towards his wanting to push the latest from Nokia, Blackberry, etc.

sorry but you article is seriously biased towards the US.
In europe palm OS phones are virtually non-existant. There are a few smartphones, but the vast majority are symbian - with the most popular from sony and nokia.
Don't believe me? - see the following link http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/10/27/pda_market_q3_04/
in short symbian has over 50% of the worldwide market, MS smartphone ~20%, and palmone ~17% (with almost all the palms sold in the US, and largely PDAs not phones)
It also shows symbian market share growing at 200% compared to 33 % for microsoft, and an almost non-existent 3% for palm.
