Treo 650, Smart-All-In-One-Phone

Strengths: Great battery life, smart design, keypad, great sound for phone, mp3 player.

Weakness: VGA camera.

I have carried a cellphone and a palm pilot for the last 5 years. This past year I just got tired of carrying them around so one by one I started leaving them behind. I was trying to wait for the next generation of Treo to come out. Last week I decided to get a Treo 650 and I have not been dissappointed. Coupled with stereo headphones and a Ridata 2GB SD card($140), I have a phone, pda, wireless...

Best all in One device

Strengths: *Size *Ease of use *Camera quality *Data service *Versatility

Weakness: *A few bugs here and there but with every electronic device, that's too be expected *Price

Coming from a Treo faithful, having been through the 300 & 600, this Treo 650 device is THE BEST convergence device on the market. Palm platform allows for the most versatility usage among all the smartdevice. Phone quality is above average but that's only because I'm partial to Bluetooth ratings.

Palm Treo 650 smartphone - Sprint

Strengths: Easy to use, lots of apps, play mp3 without headset, easy data entry, very easy to enjoy.

Weakness: It just reboots sometimes, and not that much free memory.

If you have this phone and a 1gig SD card. The world is yours, plus so many ad ons to make this phone the only device you need to carry with you.

Palm Treo 650 smartphone - Sprint

Strengths: -Amazing screen -Awesome palm apps -Solid browser -Plenty of storage -Great signal -Fast data (considering it's 1x) -Great key-locking feature -Nice back lighting -Easy hard keyboard

Weakness: -When calls come in, I sometimes ended up hanging up on caller just trying to get it out of my pocket -Risk of breaking that beautiful screen -Browser requires ALOT of scrolling -Occasional restart bug -Occasional stylus lock-out bug -Vibrator very w

Overall, it is NOT a bad phone, however there are a few bugs. The bluetooth does not work well with the headset I purchased and the phone has a weaker signal than my old Sanyo 8100. Hopefully, Sprint or Treo will rectify that problem soon.

Palm Treo 650 smartphone - Sprint

Strengths: Sound is loud, clear calls, very customizeable with software, mp3 player, ebook reader, video player, camera, video camera

Weakness: Constant flashing "phone on" light, Phone vibrate could be more powerful.

This is the best phone I have ever had. I use the sprintpcs vision more than phone calling and this is excellent. The voice calls sound good and the speakerphone is great. Browsing the web on this treo is a breeze and fun. The keypad makes it easy to enter in web address, email address, and contacts. I used to get frustrated with all the other phones because of data entry being a pain and...

Palm Treo 650 smartphone - Sprint

Strengths: Apps are very user friendly Screen resolution is great (320x320) and colors are bright and clear

Weakness: Not enough memory Sometimes some of the apps are not responsive (1 second delay when switching) Palm accessories are expenive (car charger) volume control needs to be more finner grained

As a phone, receptions is clear. It fits great in a the pocket, and battery life is almost as advertised. Because of the limited amount of memory included (~19 MB free), I was forced to use a 64MB SimpleTech (re-badged Panasonic card) and 512MB ATP 60x Secure Digital memory card. There have been no problems with compability. I am using this device with TomTom Navigator 2004 for the Palm. The GPS...

Palm Treo 650 smartphone - Sprint

Strengths: Virtually infinite number of calls received/missed/sent log. Excellent color screen. Fast and efficient text entry relative to other phones. Synchronizes extremely well with ms outlook for contact mgt

Weakness: Bluetooth headsets used with this and other phones pick up a lot of ambient noise. To be effective as a contact manager, needs an add-on program. Can be slow to respond to keystrokes. Cumbersome redial

I strongly recommend the use of a hard carrying case so that the screen protection can be turned off. It's easy to accidently answer calls with screen protection "off", and screen protection "on" makes the phone clumsly to use.

Great Treo

Strengths: great product

The treo works perfectly fine. i would recommend it to any one thinking to purchase it. The bluetooth works works good. The speakerphone is audible. You can't assign specific ringtones to contacts, however. however it does work well

Palm Treo 650 smartphone - Sprint

Strengths: Good Screen, lot of functionality, handy for ready references

Weakness: Phone reception though clear when received, fades in and out a lot. Calls get lost. Callers get hung up taking it out of pocket, Sometimes it just reboots, Phone screen gets hung.

Good for taking pictures, hot sync is good, pda features are nice. Phone signal only shows 1 bar, at most 2, rarely more than 2. Person on the other end on phone is unable to decipher. Phone, when working, is clear, sucks most of the time. Would not reccomend purchasing it.

Palm Treo 650 Palm OS Smartphone Review

Much looks the same on the Treo 650 which uses the same basic casing as the Treo 600, but looks can be deceiving. While the 650 is an evolutionary rather than revolutionary device, it adds several key features that broaden the device's appeal and will lead some Treo 600 users down the upgrade path. The Treo 650 has an absolutely lovely 320 x 320 pixel transflective color display that puts the...
