Summary: Treo 600 is good, but could be better
Review: I have had the Treo 600 for a week now and overall I am satisfied with its performance. However, here are my thoughts.
Pro's:
1.Small size-this is nice compared to older versions of PDA phones like my old Kyocera 6035.
2.MP3 is nice to have-however I haven't used it because the headset adapter is not included.
3.Keyboard is nice-takes a little practice to use, but so does graffiti. Cons
1.Color screen is too low resolution--needs to be the clarity of aPocket PC devices. Viewing pictures on the Treo 600 is very fuzzy.
2.No voice speed dialing-I miss this from my Kyocera 6035 phone. The shortcut dialing feature is too limiting.
3.Some interfaces could be better, especially when on an active call. My suggestions to Palm One:
1.Either eliminate the camera or make it higher quality-even using it for fun pictures is not good enough.
2.Include the headset adapter. Why make it so that you have to order the adapter before you can listen to mp3.
3.Needs a replaceable battery. Although the battery life is good, under heavy usage, it is not sufficient.
Would I buy it again? Yes, at a $300 price range. To me, it is not worth the retail price of $549.

Summary: Terrible speaker problems-- BEWARE
Review: I loved my treo for about 5 days. Then the speaker just went out-- I caould hear nothing without my headset. then a huge buzz developed in the headset. I had to wait 12 days for a replacement which came out of the box doing the exact same thing. After about three hours on the phone with various customer service folks, a THIRD treo was sent to me, and guess what? After two days I have no speaker and a huge buzz. What kind of phone is that?
On the pkus side, my email function works great, but I need the phone. I am in the process of waiting for a "senior executive" to call me, but haven't heard a word in 48 hours. I am not a happy camper. Do I dare to try a fourth unit???

Summary: Great HW, weak SW
Review: One of the great things about the Treo 600 is that it runs Palm OS 5.2.1. While this means you can do fun things like play Scrabble, it also means you can dump ineffective Sprint software (like PCS Business Connection) and replace it with tried-and-true Palm OS apps like Eudora. On the flipside, the Palm OS/PCS integration is sufficiently limited that emails don't immediately register or "ring" the phone, unlike the Motorola SmartPhones that my buddies use. As a persistent messaging device, I feel it's better suited to phone use and SMS (although I don't use SMS much). When traveling, it's a great way to keep tabs on email on an iterative basis (every hour or so), but it's a poor substitute for a Blackberry. Overall, very pleased with the device, despite its limitations - it's the best converged device in the market to date, IMHO.

Summary: VERY SATISFIED WITH SPRINT AND TREO 600
Review: I've been with at&t, t mobile, enough to feel strongly that GSM in the staties is just not there yet. att customer service was 20 min wait. sprint- always under 5, usually under one. They made good on their rebate, and the equipment replacement policy- (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE TREO!!!!) The reception is infinitely better than t mob and att. I'm on the phone while my non sprint pcs friends are yapping CAN YOU HEAR ME?? WHAT!?!? Sprint is on cdma- ...or Tdma...something...anyway- its alot better than GSM. Data speed is ample, and coverage for data is good. I'm a hard sell, and I have to say that I'm very satisfied with this purchase and service. NEGATIVES- if you text outside the states often- sprint service will be problematic, as you cannot text internationally as yet. Peopl from overseas often have difficulty call my cel ph from their cel ph, not being able to get through. I called sprint and they told me that they just aren;t compatible with some overseas carriers. That's why I can only give 4 stars. And really- the cool factor is off the charts rolling with this toy.

Summary: The biggest POS
Review: I've had my Treo(s) for almost exactly one month and have had nothing but issues from day one. Random resets, calls dropping or not coming through at all, major echo heard by incoming callers (led to the return of Treo #1) and finally unable to hear anything unless on speakerphone or using headset (led to my final return of Treo #2). All of these problems have been experienced by 3 other of my Treo-using friends. The worst way to spend $600+, IMHO. Cool concept, poor execution. I'm going back to 2 devices.

Summary: Great Design -- software lagging WAY behind Pocket PC
Review: I love the design of this phone. Unfortunately asthetics will only get you so far. Overall, this is a bust. The signal is greatly improved over the previous PocketPC Phone Edition, but the Palm OS 5 just falls WAY SHORT. If you have ever used a Pocket PC device, do not buy this phone. One thing after another keeps poping up. Things you just take for granted. Imagine that you have used MS Windows all your life and you switch to something that seems to look better. All the sudden, you can't view your files without a third party app, you can't transfer your files to a disk without a third party app. You have to jump through hoops to check your email or print and even then it's not reliable. Wouldn't that be awefull? I'm telling you, this Treo 600 phone is a BOMB! Looks great but a BOMB. It's light too... a light BOMB. It's cute and light not even heavy enough to make a good doorstop which would be it's best use.

Summary: Can't live without it ...
Review: It's an amazing phone ... but you do need to purchase software for it to really get the full use out of it ... For email - VersaMail (supports IMAP)
For chat - AIM (From aim.com) I run an internet based business and I find that I can do mostly everything from it when i'm on the road. There is a problem with the 1st generation of the phones with the battery being under 50ish% going into "Network Search" ... but Sprint replaced the phone for me immediately after I discovered this ... even though I had the phone for 7 months and I damaged the screen ... Sprint is best ...

Summary: Sprint PCS- Bad
Review: Buyer beware... do not buy Sprint. I give them zero stars! I purchased a Treo 600 for metro Atlanta. Basically the service was very bad. I called to cancelled and charged me $112 and change. As a business customer or any customer why am I being changed for poor service. I am not going to speak bad about their customer service because they tried. But they do not understand about business relationships and how to assist the customer. If you intend to buy a phone from them get the least expensive plan first. Then will not loose as much monsy as I did for just 7 days of service.

Summary: Great device with minor flaws
Review: Amazon has the best deal on this phone through Sprint. So far I have had a pretty good experience with their service. I love the fact that I don't have to carry a PDA and a phone. I had a Clie and never used it because I was annoyed with inputting info, but because of the QWERTY on the Treo, I use the PDA all the time. The very minor cons are: Low ring volume (difficult to hear in my purse), poor picture quality on camera (just don't use it), no voice activation. I just signed up with the personal business plan, and I have been receiving and sending e-mails without problems except that suddenly my battery seems to be draining very quickly. I guess it takes a lot of battery life. I've changed some settings, so we'll see how that goes. Overall I am very pleased with the phone. With some minor improvements this device will far surpass others on the market.
