… and apparently, that’s not a good thing.   Michael Mace,  former Chief Competitive Officer  at Palm, has a very interesting blog post on the hierarchy of status associated with the phone that you carry.  A Siemens means you’re a cheapskate (except in Germany), a Nokia is ok, a SonyEricsson means you’re creative (it’s the Apple of the mobile phone, I suppose), and the Treo reveals that you’re a geek – in the not-so-nice, nerd sense of the word.  The Treo is also considered huge compared to other mobile phones, which is why the upcoming Treo 750w is set to be slimmer, and set to lose the old-fashioned external antenna.
