Palm Treo 650 Cell Phone

Pros: Great battery life. Clear screen, viewable in direct sunlight. Speaker phone. PalmONE organizer.

Cons: Size/weight take some getting used to. Doesn't come w/any type of holster/clip (pay extra $$).

The Bottom Line: Recommended.

Review: When my original Palm device (Sony Clie NR70) crashed, I was devastated. I loved my Clie because it was small, thin and the keyboard had a good feel. It had a decent digital camera with a rotating lens, and the screen was also a rotating screen...

Pros: Combined powers: phone and palm; Can dial phone numbers printed in other programs like e-mail.

Cons: Poor performance. Constant untimely restarts. HAVE to buy a data plan.

The Bottom Line: Get it. You'll love it in spite of its drawbacks.

Review: The 650 is the best shot we have at a truly "smart" phone. But it has its bugs. But I love it in spite of its flaws.

OVERALL
This is probably the best phone I've ever had. After some thought, that isn't saying very much. This...

Pros: Bright clear display, qwerty keyboard, loud phone, easy to use email and applications

Cons: a bit heavy compared to phones, pricey

The Bottom Line: If you're shopping for a PDA you WILL use, get the Treo 650 for your wireless provider. You will love having your own secretary with you at all times.

Review: This review is written from the perspective of a first time PDA owner. Before having my eye on the Treo 650, I had debated some of the PDA's from HP that served similar services. However, after much research and waiting, I got word that Cingular was...

Pros: Many useful applications

Cons: Apps inconsistent, device needs constant reset, e-mail is iffy & VOLUME LEVEL SUCKS

Review: Don't buy a Palm Treo 650 - the volume is so low you can't hear the other person even in a vacuum and you must buy 3rd party software ($19.99) to boost the volume; the device keeps freezing and needs to constantly be reset and makes this annoying...

Pros: Great convergence device. Email stability greatly improved with v1.08 patch. RealPlayer bugs fixed in April05.

Cons: No carrying case, no belt clip, no cradle. Needs $6 adapter for music on stereo-headphones.

The Bottom Line: Through series of upgrades and bug fixes, MP3 player, email, and memory utilization have all been fixed admirably. It's now a fantastic device! What more could you ask for?

Review: Versamail with v1.08 patch
On March 23rd, 2005, PalmOne release the long awaited patch to fix a number of known bugs with Versamail. After four weeks of using it, I can say that Versamail is tremendously improved. It's finally a viable...

Pros: All in One. Plays video

Cons: Doesn't do anything well, big and bulky, and falls apart easily

The Bottom Line: Avoid the Treo Line altogether. They were the first to come out with a real PDA phone (Handspring) and have overpriced and under qualified their product accordingly

Review: I purchased this phone in hopes of avoiding carrying a PDA, a cell phone, and an ipod all at the same time. This device seemed to be a great fit. It has a PDA based on the PALM OS which was fine but it is hard to find/access through the myriad of...

Pros: Versatile, Great PDA Features, Great Battery Life

Cons: Less Than Stellar Phone

Review: I bought this phone because I had lost my previous phone and coincidentally, at the same time, wanted to get a PDA. So I figured, "how about a Treo?" For the most part, this phone does what I need pretty much when I need to do it. Whatever raves...

Pros: Great device if you want to ditch the palm and carry only a cel phone.

Cons: No wifi, hangs all the time.

Review: This is my second treo. I'm happy with it but it does have a lot of negative points.
1. The usb hotsync conection works half the time.
2. It hangs regularly.
3. No wifi

Pros: The best marriage of Phone and PDA - period !!

Cons: Not too many.. I am sure the product will evolve.

Review: This is the best synthesis of a Palm device and a Phone to date.
Phone
Regardless of whether the phone is smart or not, which is the case with the Treo 650, I think the real test is how good the phone performs.
The phone...

Pros: Solid and workable. Liked Kyocera better for ease of use. Nice sync system.

Cons: Font too small. Instructions ridiculous.No phone number for help.

Review: The type face/font on the computer screen can't be adjusted for the clock or on the desktop except by changing resolutions. Once again this seems to have been designed by a 20 somethings who don't get that tiny print doesn't work for 50 somethings...
