The PalmOne Treo 650 is a very expensive phone / PDA. Fortunately the company I work for supplies this to me other wise I probably would not have given it a second glance.
The Treo 650 looks a tidy aesthetically pleasing item, with a reasonable size screen showing 320 x 320 pixel resolution and is touch sensitive. The keyboard on the Treo 650 is a delight, it sits underneath the screen and has large sized buttons with a raised face to allow quick ... ...the keyboard in the centre of the phone. There are six more buttons along side this and are basic quick launch buttons to save you scrolling through the menu, I like this as it can save you a lot of time. Along with the main menu button and all the extra's you can access the menu directly from the touch sensitive screen which many will find much easier. There one other thing I really like about this, how many times have you been out somewhere and ...

Advantages: The most useful gadget I own - phone, notebook, entertainment and navigation in one Disadvantages: A bit of a brick by modern standards
Basics
----------
You get a Palm 5 PDA and phone in one. While each is useful in its own right, the two put together is something else!
The PDA side of things will be familiar to any who have used previous Palm PDAs - the usual Calendar, Address Book, Memo pad, and so on are there. It runs most Palm software (but not all) and uses the normal Palm Desktop software to sync with a PC.
In addition, you get an mp3 player (a version of Real Player), ... ...600 160x160 display and some Palm applications take advantage of the extra resolution. It shows good colour and is easily bright enough to use in outdoor daylight. Most of the operations of the phone / PDA can be achieved by the touch sensitive screen and are generally designed so that you can use a finger to press buttons and so on without having to get out the stylus.

Advantages: Easy to use, everything you need on one device Disadvantages: Battery life not the best
Was given this at work recently as a productivity tool and for once, it really is! Everythingabout the device is better than I expected and easier to use. The screen quality is beautiful. The email is easy to use and very hand to have available all the time. At first the device buzzes and beeps at tyou constantly everytime an email arrives or an appointment comes up but it is fairly easy to sort this out to how you actually want it to alert you. ... ...wouldn't want to be doing lengthy emails but quick replies to keep things moving are easy. The emails arrive on this before they appear on your PC and somethings are quicker eg deleting emails is very speedy. The web access is good and easy to access. The camera is excellent and it is nice to take a picture of he children each morning to take to work. A big benefit is having all your outlook contacts downloaded to the device so you can call anyone ...

In a world where we always need to be in contact with everyone my husband thought it would make my life as a full time mum and part timee worker, easier if I had a little phone that I could also use for emails. That was the plan.
When I asked him if he was getting me a blackberry I was greated with a no, you will be having a Treo 650. A what? Excatly but that was all Orange were offering and as that is who our phone supplier was that is what I was ... ...a shop one of these little devices can cost anywhere up to £400. However on Orange they upgraded us for about £99. We had to sign a new 18 months contract but that seemed a fair trade off.
So out of the box what do you get? There is the phone and a number of cables to start with. You are also supplied with a screen protector which you are supposed to cut out and place over the touch screen. Why didn't they pre cut this? Mine ended up looking messy ...

Quick review of Palm Treo 650
I bought this phone with a contract at around 92 Euro. It is a solid phone with very long lasting battery (2 batteries in box) which can last 4-5 days for normal usage (actually time may vary on different usage). The most advantage of this phone is you can find many free resource to install in Palm OS, e.g. dict, games, movie players, file readers. So it can turns into a MP3 player, or a digital file reader in travel or a game player. It also can turns into a GPS with a additional gps receiver. It can also browers internet with a SD wireless card. The disadvantage is that it has a lousy camera (VGA) cannot compete with 2-mega, 3-mega camera phone. It is a little heavy and only suit for man. ...
