Palm Treo 650 Smartphone - Bar

Great Palm Pilot and Phone all-in-one unit

Strengths: Great screen size, stores lots of pictures and videos and can interface with desktop. I love this phone, it does everything I want it to do (memos, emails, etc.) I couldn't wait to get this phone.

Weakness: Too bulky in size, could be slimmer. Takes a bit getting used to, in terms of handling the size. Keys malfunction within one year of purchase- rigth when the warranty expires.

I would purchase the Treo 650 again. It is the best smart phone on the market -- GPS and touchscreen are a plus, not to mention all of the other great features. I bought my Treo 650 from Palm. Would be great if they had a exchange program. Would ensure customer loyalty. I currently have a Palm Pilot and a broken Treo 650 in my possession.

Strengths: Functionality is good. Bluetooth is nice added feature.

Weakness: Phone is buggy. It needs to be rebooted several times daily as phone locks up frequently.

I have used Palm products (Palm V and Treo 600) for 5 years. I have never had problems in the past like this. The phone locks up and shuts itself off intermittently, (often when I don't know it) and will need to be rebooted. This is a royal pain, particularly when driving.

Very Useful and Cool Phone and PDA

Strengths: Great PDA, very clear sounding phone

Weakness: Strange "feel" at first, it is Palm first and a phone second

I really enjoy having my Palm and phone all-in-one. The phone part is a little difficult to get use to, but overall I am really happy so far.

Strengths: Palm Pilot and phone in one. Syncs with Mac computers. Easy to read touch pad for dialing phone numbers. Has Bluetooth. Can use Jabra Bluetooth products with it. Can surf the Web/check e-mail with it.

Weakness: Would like to be able to use Graffiti (writing with the stylus) for data input.

PalmOne has a first class PDA and when combined with a cell phone, even better. Only limitations are cell service but that is a problem with carriers not the phone. I bought an unlocked version so that it can be used with any cell service carrier. Leather case (sold separately) that is customized is very nice (and sturdy).

Jack of All Trades

Strengths: Decent Signal Strength, SD card port, MP3 player, photo viewer, Palm's simplicity is entact, expandable

Weakness: Still a little big, could be slimmer, resets by itself occasionaly, updates could be simplier, louder volume.

I've waited for this product a long time. A decent sized Palm device that also doubles as a phone. Treo's 650 is the best I've used so far. It could be slimmer, but for it's size, it does pack a strong punch.

I've waited for this product a long time. A decent sized Palm device that also doubles as a phone. Treo's 650 is the best I've used so far. It could be slimmer, but for it's size, it does pack a strong punch. Not to include its MP3 player, photo viewer & video player, I also subscribe to MobiTV & have streamed TV channels on my little screen. It has a wonderful SD card slot which makes transferring media & data of all kinds a snap. It is easy to use until you have to update the firmware, but at least they are updating it. It is the best smartphone on the market & it could only get better.
