Palm One Treo 600 smartphone

Palm One Treo 600 smartphone

Strengths: Battery life excellent (4 days normal use), Very fast contact lookup, Keyboard great for short email replies, Ecellent form factor (one-handed operation, fits in jeans pocket), SD card

Weakness: Camera pretty useless (want Bluetooth instead!), Phone functions not fully integrated into apps (eg ToDo list), Once a week needs soft-reset, Screen too bright (!), Very slippery casing!

I am a business user spending about half of my time in the office and the rest in meetings outside and I was looking for a combination PDA+phone. I was very much in doubt whether to get the Treo 600 or the Sony Ericsson P900. After using the Treo 600 for a month or so, I am very happy with the choice! I recommend getting screen protectors, sync cradle, and retractable USB change/sync cable for...

Palm One Treo 600 smartphone

Strengths: Battery life is awesome - allows significant amount of talk time along with moderate to heavy PDA usage. More user friendly than previous Treo version. Easy navigation, almost no need for stylus.

Weakness: Camera resolution is not good. Included headset does not sound very good. Expensive. Keyboard a bit small.

I was a previous user of Treo 270. The 600 is a huge improvement over the prior version - battery life is amazing, navigation is greatly improved - almost no need to use the stylus. Not great at taking pictures, but with all the other features, this can be overlooked. Good resolution on the screen, other than pictures. Much easier to use without the flip top on prior version. More durable phone....

Palm One Treo 600 smartphone

Strengths: Powerful, rugged, customizable

Weakness: No BlueTooth

This is my second Treo phone - the first being a Treo 300. PalmOne fixed most every issue I had with the 300. I DO wish they'd included BlueTooth. The phone accommodates an SD memory card and there are rumours someone will release a compatible BlueTooth SD card, but nothing yet. As it is. I'm stuck with a wired headset. Everything else about this phone/PDA is terrific, however. The keyboard is...

Palm One Treo 600 smartphone

Strengths: Clear Display, Excellent Reception & Transmission, Fast Processor, Multiple Uses or Functions & EASY to use!

Weakness: NONE

As an active Realtor, this device combined with a Laptop computer is a must. Has IR Hot Sync so no cables are needed. Battery Life is good too. This device works much better than my previous Samsung i330 PDA/Phone. I'm very glad I bought one and look forward to using it productively in my business.

Palm One Treo 600 smartphone

Strengths: This phone does it all. The integrate the camera, mp3 player (which is great for the gym), spreadsheets, games, etc. Love the siZe compared to other palm phones. The speakerphone is nice.

Weakness: The camera takes so-so pictures. The screen doesn't have the best clarity (LOW PIXELS).

By far, the best phone I have ever owned. This is my 10th phone in 3 years. I HIGHLY recommend this for business and personal use. Everywhere I go, this phone is the envy of all. PalmOne (formerly Handspring) support is on top of their game. The SD slot is fantastic. I use the mp3 all the time. Battery life is AMAZING. Web browser is superior to all phones, full web page access (compared to my...

Palm One Treo 600 smartphone

Strengths: Excellent marriage of PDA, web browser and phone... and getting better. Good battery life and good processing speed. Great contact manager and lots of downloadable apps available.

Weakness: purchase cost, weak .3 megapixel camera, no built-in bluetooth or wi-fi, and the MP3 player locked up on my phone. No voice-activated dialing ability.

I have had three Handspring products: several Visors, a Treo 270 (GSM) and now a Treo 600 (GSM). I have learned that the Treo is a good phone, and with the 600, it has become a very competent communicator: web browser (using Blazer), email POP3 manager, SMS and MMS available, and a good contact manager. In my experience, there is no product on the market which combines all the features I would...

Review Updated 8-22-05

Strengths: Great reception, clear sound, crammed full of features, easy to use and navigate.

Weakness: Poor camera quality, no bluetooth, little pricey. EDITED TO ADD - after using this phone for 7 months I would not recommend it! We went through 4 phones until Cingular replaced it with a 650.

EDITED TO ADD: After using this phone for 6+ months I would NOT recommend it! We went through 4 phones until Cingular replaced it with a 650. First phone - could not receive calls. Second phone - Could not stay connected to the network and phone would not ring. Third phone - Could not place calls. Last phone - Could not make or receive calls. After getting upgraded to the 650 I would say save...

Palm One Treo 600 smartphone

Strengths: Powerful, up-to-date and one of the more user-friendly pda/phone combinations on the market.

Weakness: Camera isn't the highest quality.

I am a cell phone and pda techie and purchase all the new items that come out on the market. It has been a long time since I have seen a marriage of a quality pda and cell phone combined into one. Good reception, pda functionality and clarity in speakerphone. I don't think the camera matches up to the other VGA phones on the market like the Samsung A620, but that should be the least of my...

Palm One Treo 600 smartphone

Strengths: Crammed with features

Weakness: A little bulky

Its great for messaging and a must-have for email. But dont let its small size fool you. Dome-shaped keys and large text make it incredibly accurate too. And, for one-handed action, the central five-way navigation button lets you scroll through applications, menus and lists without ever touching the screen. Its also a digital camera and more. Take a picture, view it on your color screen or send...

Palm One Treo 600 smartphone

Strengths: The plastic seems a little more resistant to knocks than the 270. The one handed navigation is easier. Memory expansion is easy.

Weakness: Lack of blue tooth.

My previous Treo was the 270. Compared to this the 600 was easier to navigate, especially with one hand. The secure digital card slot is a big improvement since the 24MB internal memory gets full very quickly. The camera takes better close ups than my Canon 5 meg pixel camera in good light. The SIM card slides in easily in its own tray. The only thing missing is bluetooth which is on the Treo 650.
