And while I'm quite indifferent about the environmental aspects of the RoHS, I'm convinced that it helped to get my 650-successor FASTER in the end. The only idiocy I can see so far is this blog bashing on the RoHS. It went not "in effect" suddenly. It was known long before when this will happen and most manufacturers hadn't a problem to meet the requirements long before the deadline.

Other countrys like Japan meanwhile initiate similar proceedings. When Palm now can't sell the Treo 650 burdened with lead in Europe, the manufactor in China can't sell the more Treo 650 to Palm. So the manufactor in China must change the production process. Palm should know the european law when selling products in Europe or other countys worldwide. And Palm had time enough (5 years) to notice this law is comming! Why they didn't it! RoHS is a good idee to stop pollution in countrys like China et al.

There are *always* unintended -- and usually negative -- consequences when lawmakers start to think. I wonder how much extra "pollution" is now in Europe as a result of this law and the predictable actions of manufacturers seeking to beat the deadline. Yep.

I was really dissapointed when known the 700p wasn't compatible with the European data carriers, now I'm hoping for a great Palm device wich combines the best from all PDA's.
