Palm Treo 650 Cell Phone

Pros: all-in-one hi-tech gadget with big wow factor

Cons: no Wi-Fi, doesn't play WMA, no flash, small memory, buggy

The Bottom Line: Wait for the Treo 700 to come out, this device is way too buggy.

Review: In the early days, I bought my first Personal Digital Assistant called the Psion series 3. After a while, I upgraded to the Psion series 5, then on to the Palm Pilot - I was in geek heaven. A few years later, I upgraded to the...

Pros: Performance, Palm OS 5.4, QWERTY Keyboard, Bluetooth, NVFS Memory

Cons: 22MB Memory, Cradle

The Bottom Line: The PalmOne Treo 650 is a worthy successor of the PalmOne Treo 600. There are a couple shortcomings, but otherwise it's an excellent device.

Review: I'm planning on using Sprint PCS for a long while since I've been extremely satisfied with the service. Since life is getting more complex, I felt like I needed a new phone to fit the lifestyle. I have used the Handspring/PalmOne Treo 600 before but...

Pros: Great overall all-in-one device that offers a phone, Palm, camera, video capturing program.

Cons: You're stuck with only one device. Resets can be annoying although it can be minimized.

The Bottom Line: This is an overall great all-in-one device. Not perfect but once you get used to it, the Treo can be quite a life companion.

Review: After panting and wishing to get my hands on the Treo 650, I finally got hold of one this past March. My family went on a vacation during Spring Break to Tokyo and Hong Kong. I finally bought an unlocked GSM Treo 650 (they don't subsidy lock the...

Pros: Many fine features you will love.

Cons: Expensive; subject to early outdated-ness as technology improves.

The Bottom Line: If you really want a smartphone that is a sort of "Swiss Army Knife" of cellphones, this is definitely the one you want!

Review: Almost four years ago I reviewed a cellphone called the Handspring Treo 300, and I called it The Ultimate (2002) Cellphone . This device was widely accepted by many as the standard against which to judge phones that integrated cellular telephones...

Pros: The Palm Treo 650 is a package that is easy to use and reliable.

Cons: The touch screen display can be slightly inconvenient when using the phone features.

The Bottom Line: The Palm Treo 650 brings all of the advantages of a Smartphone together successfully in a package that is easy to use and reliable. Strongly Recommended!

Review: Recently I have been testing many of the new all in one wireless products. Mostly these have included devices that are a combination of wireless phone and PDA. For the most part, I have found these devices to be inefficient and uncomfortable. Many...

Pros: Bright, high-resolution screen; improved keyboard with backlight; video

Cons: ROM software seems a little unpolished; most T600 accessories will not work

The Bottom Line: When you understand what the device is and does, you will know whether you want it or not. For me, it is invaluable.

Review: The Treo 650 is my third Treo. I previously have owned a Treo 300 and a Treo 600. I have also owned various PDAs, including the Tungsten C, Tungsten T and iPAQ 5455. For my needs and desires, the T650 is easily the best phone on the market.
...

Pros: Bluetooth, display, good battery life on the user-replaceable battery, non-volatile memory, nice all-in-one

Cons: Sprint (only version out so far), no WiFi, memory issues, Price

The Bottom Line: Not worth the upgrade if you're coming from a 600, but if you're hopping into the smartphone market fresh, I'd absolutely recommend it. My price included a 'new customer' rebate.

Review: UPDATED seven hours later: the original review was written in an insomniac haze at 5:00 a.m. (read: I was very tired and very bored).

Two full weeks with the 650 and I'm one hell-of-a happy woman. I've recently become convinced that I'm a...

Pros: Does it all in one small package

Cons: Expensive, no included case, car charger or charging/synching cradle (only cables)

The Bottom Line: Get it and you'll never put it down!

Review: ****THIS REVIEW HAS AN UPDATE AT THE END, DATED 19 JULY 2005****


After months of research, I took the plunge and bought my first 'smart phone', the Treo 650. Despite the fact that my company currently supports only Blackberries, the...

Pros: Combines phone-email-pictures all in one, also music MP3. It is a powerful tool.

Cons: The digital picture quality is very weak, could be a little better.

The Bottom Line: It brings a whole new look on the way we communicate: cell phone, email, messaging, pictures, MP3, send your music and photos to others! All in One, this One

Review:

The Amazing Treo 650

.........everything you need in the palm of your hands

As Walt Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal is saying, ___The Treo is better than ever! I...

Pros: Multiple functions, beautiful display, SD cards, stylus, PalmOS

Cons: So-so hardware, software complexity, instability, 5-way pad, PalmOS

The Bottom Line: If you need a reliable phone/email device above all else, look elsewhere. If you want something to play with, this might be the option for you.

Review: I'm relatively new to the Palm phenomenon... sorta. I was a Newton 110/120 owner, briefly used one of the original Palm handhelds, and used a Blackberry 7230 until I got the Treo. I've always felt keyboards were the right way to do text entry, so...
