My review on PalmOne Treo 650

Advantages: Super Quality screen, easy2use keyboard, All in one device, bluetooth, infra, EDGE, lot palm based software.
Disadvantages: No Wi-Fi, low build in memory, so so battery life.

...It is actually one of my dream comes true product, plus something that i have been waiting for some long time. i still remember year ago, when i fall in love with the PalmOne Tc due to it mini keyboard & build in Wi-Fi, BUT later found out so many bad thing of this product plus the so expense price tag so i wait til today, finally a palmOne products that all in one OR what i need. but i do understand this is not a easy review, as the Treo 650 can do TOO much plus LOT of function that you can do...so if any point that i didn't touch, you can either ask or request me to add later. BUT i will not touch any of the standard PDA or much of phone software here but only some of the point that related or new to Treo 650. THE TREO PACKAGE * The package comes with a Treo 650 unit, a charges, battery, USB Cable, cds, a manual with a screen...

Review of Palm Treo 650

Palm Treo 650 :)

Advantages: brilliant bright screen, palm os platform
Disadvantages: arial sticking out, rather big design-form

...Back in June when Palm had the 'football game' competition on, I won my trusty little (well actually rather large) treo 650. I believe that the only reason I find it large is because I have had lighter, smaller sony ericsson phones beforehand. I wasn't too sure that I would enjoy the 'Treo experience' at first, but boy I was wrong. I love the phone to bits. I know there was a few problems with the original 650s sent out with the original firmware, but as far as I'm concerned it is absolutely brilliant. The Screen:- I admitt that it is not the latest technology, as there are 262k screens out there now. But the large screen (I think it's about 2 inches square) is rather adequate and bright even though it is only 65k. The Keypad:- This is another factor of the phone which I believe to be rather annoying at first. Once I got...

Review of Palm Treo 650 Limited Edition

Stylish Treo 650

Advantages: Stylish, Good keyboard, Sharp screen
Disadvantages: Low internal memory, protruding antenna

...memory which is not a great amount. You also get VerseMail pre-installed which is for email on the move. This will automatically check your emails and the documents to go software will allow you to read attachments in Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats. Blazer is PalmOnes own browser and lets you browse the web save files, screen, and pictures for you to view of line. It also comes with the standard functions of calendar, diary, calculator, world clock, alarm, MMS and SMS. Blue tooth is built into this and PalmOne has put an icon for it on the application launcher screen. The Treo 650 works well as a phone, it has quick access to stored contacts. The quality and strength of call is clear and strong. The sim card fits into the top of the phone which is easily accessible. The Treo 650 has a good battery life and can last around 50...

Review for Treo 650 limited edition

Advantages: Good performance, PDA phone, good battery life, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Lousy VGA camera, a bit heavy

...I bought this phone with a contract at around 92 Euro 1 year ago. 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. There is also some very good e-books and softwares which you can buy online. Normally I use the phone as a MP3 player, or a digital file reader and a game player when I was in Bus and subway. It also can turns into a GPS with a additional gps receiver if you drive a car. It can also browers internet with a SD wireless card, so you can check your emails but I didnot try this yet. The disadvantage is that it has a lousy camera (VGA) cannot compete with 2-mega, 3-mega camera phone. It...

Palm Treo 680

Advantages: Small and well made, Palm OS
Disadvantages: a bit fiddly

...This is a well thought-out device with a good touch sensitive screen and a surprisingly usable keyboard, even for people like me, with fat fingers. I have used Palm OS PDAs for many years so I have a lot of data and applications from previous devices that I want to maintain and I was keen to stay with the Palm OS operating system rather than switch to Windows at this stage. It was easy to move the Treo 680 from my Palm T5 without any loss of data. Now I only need to carry one device instead of a PDA and a phone. The stylus is a bit fiddly to use when compared to the chunky T5 one, but then the stylus is not needed as much given that the keyboard replaces the need for text entry with the stylus. The operating system is easy to use and syncs without any problems to my old iMac (Mac OS X version 10.2.8) In the few months I have owned...

Review of Palm Treo 650

Like something off Star trek!!

Advantages: Compact for what it does, great features, Mp3 Player and Camera, Web Browsing
Disadvantages: Sometimes heats up and reboots

...invest in one soon. ***PROBLEMS*** The phone reboots itself sometimes. Also the keyboard buttons are very small. It's ok for me, but some guy with thick fingers may struggle! The phone can heat up and freeze if used for long periods, especially in the heat. Though you can reset it by removing and replacing the battery. ***MY CONCLUSION*** The Palm One Treo 650 is a fantastic device, all in one mobile with wireless connectivity, MP3 player and digital camera. It is very smart looking, very easy to use and extremely versatile. And you get all this in a compact mobile. I highly recommend this for anyone who would make use of any of the features. I found the best deals through http://www.fab-efones.co.uk. Please let me know if you found this review helpful by clicking below. Thank you....

Review of Palm Treo 650

Palm Treo 750v - brilliant

Advantages: One machine to carry. Quick internet access. Easy to operate
Disadvantages: Lousy camera, ringtones

...Having been a heavy user of palm pda's for a few years I was reluctant to part with them, however it was getting a bind carrying my mobile phone and pda around with me. I thought long and hard about the choices and decided to stick with Palm and go for the Treo 750v. I sold my phone and pda on ebay and away I went. I have now used the Treo for 4 weeks and feel I made the right decision... why? The treo if is has any fault is larger than my mobile phone and it took some getting used to the size, also I don't always get the same clarity with reception. I miss the palm os software and slowly I am now getting used to the windows mobile programme which is on the Treo. I like the way that you can seamlessly move around the programmes. I use the calendar, notes, tasks, word programme, internet explorer and messages on a regular basis. I...

Review of Palm Treo 750v

PALM TREO 750. GOOD LOOKER WITH USER PROBLEMS.

Advantages: IT DOES A JOB, GOOD LOOKING, SMALL.
Disadvantages: MANUFACTURERS ENGINEERING PROBLEMS

...lost that advantage although it is still possible to use it with the qwerty keypad that is good. Large fingers such as mine have a disadvantage but that is not a reason to moan. Another downside is that the battery life after a full charge is relatively short, you can find yourself with a flat battery after about 6 to 8 hours usage or less. I purchased a heavy duty battery specially to combat this problem. Now the Palm is too large to sit safely in its snug leather protective case. Oh dear! My biggest moan and findings of many who own one of these Palm Treo 750 are the same as I have stated and they have written to Palm regarding this matter of inactive, non-working touch-screen. No replies! Palm still make and do sell this model without having dealt with the very bad problem it has. There is no known cure as far as I can discern after...

Review of Palm Treo 750

the Palm Treo 500 - a macintosh users perspective!

Advantages: keypad, email, bubble breaker
Disadvantages: battery life

...I chose the Palm Treo 500 for the fact that it has a full keypad for typing, in the style of the blackberry and iphone design rather than having to rely on predictive text etc for email, and although the buttons are naturally small, this aspect of the phone is still very appealing. Caps lock typing can be very awkward however... As a macintosh user, I wasn't sure about using a windows based product, but the functionality is very good and simple to use. Email - for a pop3/imap4 account, once set up works very well although it helps if you have experience of setting up email accounts as you need to know all the settings or where to get hold of them... Internet I find is perfectly functional but the screen size makes browsing frustrating! It is important with the Palm Treo and similar products to not expect too much from these facilities...
