Need help choosing Treo 650 or Samsung i730

Need help guys.......

I currently have Verizon and I am contemplating upgrading my phone and I want a PDA/phone combo. Which do you prefer between these two phones?

A few things to add;
1) I won't be doing much if any web surfing or emailing
2) I mostly want the new phone because of the Calendar synch feature (I'm always forgetting my damn Outlook sched)
3) Must have Bluetooth to use with the TL of course

Thanks

get a e-815, lg 8100 with a data cable and you can keep your whole calendar and schedule in the phone that way..kinda pointless...especially if your not going to use the web (which is pretty much what it is for...)

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I think I'll take a look at seeing if there is an existing PC cable for my current LG VX4500 and explore if any bitpim versions are available. If not I think a new phone is in my future.

i have the treo 650 - hope you like bugs with your bluetooth and TL (i have GSM version so it may be different with verizon's version)
if calendar is what you're after it's
other than that it's a good phone. actually the way it was designed is PDA first, phone second. there are so many things i wished the phone portion of the 650 had that most of my previous phones had.

here's my review of the treo 650

cliff notes: for the price, i was expecting more, but am still happy with the phone

I have the treo 650...its... ok. It does a lot of stuff, but its buggy and gets hung up a lot. I have had so many problems with the bluetooth I had to stop using it (hotsyncing and headsets).
