Summary: Outstanding Combo-Phone for Realists
Review: I happen to know that I am an "early innovator" when it comes to new high-tech products. Generally, I tend to buy Ver. 1.0's of all kinds of things. Seldom with good results. Without question, the Treo 600 IS the best quality "first version" of anything I've ever bought. It is an outstanding product! (as the numerous awards it's received from CNet and others suggest). It is stable, the design is elegant, and it works. And, for people who understand English, even the manual (Sprint)is adequate. For those detractors looking for a Nikon digital camera or Apple i-Pod with integrated cell phone or PDA functionality --- you are in the wrong department. The Treo 600 is an essential business tool and supports functions for that purpose incredibly well.

Summary: Question
Review: I have a question about the treo. If I currently have an AT&T Wireless plan, and I buy this phone from a friend or someone other than AT&T, will I be able to get a plan for it with AT&T? Does the treo I buy have to be locked or unlocked to use with my current provider? (AT&T Wireless) I know nothing about these kind of things so any info would be cool. thanks!

Summary: Great pda/phone with lousy reception
Review: I have been an AT&T customer for over three years. During that time I have had a Nokia phone, a Siemens phone and now this Handspring. I have never had a problem with reception until I started to use the Handspring. The only other complaint I have is that the camera on this phone stinks. It is much worse than the camera on other phones. My wife uses a Nokia with a built in phone and the picture she takes of the exact same thing I take turn out 100% better. Neither phone camera reaches the quality of a stand alone digital camera, but the Nokie does produce some close copies under ideal circumstances. The Handspring does not even come close.Other than these two problems, the phone is incredible. The pda is a mini computer. I used an HP IPAQ for a couple of years and I loved it. I was not sure the pda of the Handspring would be able to replace my HP but it did. It is easy to use and intuitive. The keyboard is convenient and surprisingly accurate. The programs are helpful in organizing a busy life. After several months of use, I am pretty impressed with this pda/phone. My only wish would be for better reception.

Summary: Excellent smartphone!
Review: I have had my Treo for a few days now and I am extremely satisfied. This is the first combination phone/pda that I have encountered where the phone is actually a good phone and the pda is a good pda. It isn't just two devices slopped together. I have read some complaints about sound quality but I haven't experienced it, calls are clear to me and to whoever I am speaking to. Wireless web functions are very good and easy to use, the included web browser works pretty well but doesn't seem to support java scripts. The keyboard makes SMS messaging a breeze. Battery life seems to be in the 8 to 10 hour range, I have no problem getting through a full day's use including an hour or so of e-book reading and an occasional game of Bejeweled. The SD/MMC slot picked up my 256mb SD card without a problem for music storage. Handspring offers a free MP3 player on their website if you register the treo online with them. I guess that what I really like the most about the 600 is that I no longer need to carry a seperate phone and PDA. The Treo does it all quite well. My one complaint, the screen's resolution could be better. It isn't bad mind you, I have no trouble reading it and the backlight is strong, but it could be better.

Summary: dont buy it
Review: I have had the phone for less then one year and have had to get two replacements. The last time it took Palm One 3 weeks to get me my new replace. Think about this I paid $500.00 for a phone and for almost one month I could not use it. The reception is very poor. I would shop around for a different phone.

Summary: Excellent phone; if you like Palm OS....
Review: I like my Treo 600; this is a great integration of PDA and phone functionality. I was tired of walking around like Batman, gripping my phone in one hand , and the PDA in others. Now, please understand, I like the PocketPC platform better for one reason: more applications are included out of the box (even though most of those applications are limited). The cons of this unit are: poor camera quality, a lack of bluetooth, and limited applications included with the unit itself. None of these are insurmountable obstacles; applications can be bought, the camera is adequeate in bright sunlight, and who really needs bluetooth anyway? <GRIN> If you're looking for a single unit that does many things better than average, then this is the unit for you. To be fair, I can't think of any other unit that provides this level of quality while integrating them so well.

Summary: I love this phone. Best thing I ever bought.
Review: I use this phone for everything. Including... playing mp3's
listening to Internet radio
I'm always checking my mail on it - in real-time
browsing the Web
recording voice notes
looking things up in the dictionary
getting directions
listening to books on tape
talk on the phone
and way more than this! (Except for Internet radio program and the dictionary, every other feature is either free and included with the phone or free and easily downloaded to the phone. See the company's Web site.)

Summary: Great phone -- if only they could make the software bug-free
Review: I've been using my new Treo 600 from AT&T for about a week now. Here are the pros and cons.
PROS
- Very-high productivity when using this phone. When processing a ton of voicemails, emails, and tasks, it's great to be able to call someone just by clicking on their phone number.
- Hyperlinked phone numbers. Every number in email messages, the address book, and notes are "hyperlinks" that you can dial just by clicking.
- Keyboard works well. I can type about 80% as fast as the slightly wider Blackberry keyboard.
- Great phone app. Long call history. One-button mute.
- Nice choices of ring tones, including some that aren't obnoxious.
- "Silent" button at the top. Great for meetings.
- Clearer phone reception and fewer dead spots than my Nokia 6200.
- With GoodLink email (sold separately), I get real-time, bi-directional sync of everything in Outlook: emails, calendar, to-do list, and notes.
- Fast GPRS data connection. Pulls
- Web browser. I set Google News as my home page and turn images off. In 30 seconds, I can download a great collection of current news.
- World time app is great if you work with folks all over the world.
- Camera that syncs with your PC. I was kind of doubtful at first, but it's really cool having a camera with you at all times. It syncs with your PC, so you don't need to rack up phone charges to get your own photos.
- Less weight and accessories than a cell phone plus Blackberry.
- No Graffiti required. I've used Palms since 1996, and never got used to Graffiti. Plus the Digitizer would always go out. The Treo's 5 way control works great.
CONS
- Very unstable software. Treo reboots on its own a couple of times a day. Even so, the Treo's awesome functionality makes up for this.
- Unstable software means I don't load up with any of the great Palm apps out there, like AvantGo and Eudora and Intelligent Find, for fear of making the system even more unstable.
- Low battery life.
- No WiFi.
- No scroll wheel. I miss that Blackberry feature.
- SD card. These are too small to store more than a few songs (no substitute for an iPod), and too expensive compared to backing up data via a Hotsync. So why have them?
- Camera. I'd gladly trade this in for a tiny hard drive like what's in the Ipod mini.

Summary: Excellent PDA Phone
Review: If you are looking for a reasonable sized combinaion phone and PDA this is the choice. It looks up numbers in your address book for dialing and it identifies known people from your address book when they call. It is a Palm pilot with an integrated phone/

Summary: Check out the Sony Ericsson P800
Review: If you test drive both devices, you will drive home with the Sony Ericsson HANDS DOWN. It is much easier to use, intuitive, offers more features, integrates well with the PC, bluetooth, infrared and cable connection to other devices. MP3 player
Video Player If you are after the built in camera, neither are much to write home about, but I tried them both. The Sony Ericsson again beats the Treo by a mile. The clarity alone is worth it. Plus with the Ericsson, you can adjust each photo for light, contrast, color, flicker and size. While viewing, one touch and it's a FULL screen slide show! I've had the "awe" of many a Treo user when I pulled out my phone. The definition on the screen is much crisper, the color is better and there are so many applications you can add to make this device an helpful as you can imagine. Also, the keyboard on the Treo is not worth anything. If you're over 40 you won't be able to see the letters on the keys, not to mention pressing them (way too small) The Treo 600 also does NOT offer Graffiti. Check out the Graffiti on the SONY... way cool and you can use it with almost every application. Much faster than searching for keys to press! My recommendation... give them both a try... I'm sure you will agree that the Sony Ericsson P800 is worth every penny! Oh... stereo headphones are included for listening to your MP3s while working on your calendar or just waiting for your husband/wife to return the Treo 600! Best wishes! Paul p.s. The phone reception is not the best on either device (sad to say) I have made my complaint to both companies. I've been told you have to sacrafice something to fit everything. Poor choice I'd say!
