Great Palm Smartphone functionality, poor performance!Reviewer: Andreas Cohen Actually, this phone has all the makings of the breakthrough product which PalmOne needed to compete against the Blackberry. But, this phone is plagued with constant endless automatic rebooting and automatic shut down of the phone feature. Certainly, these symptoms are not typical of Palm reliability and stability that their users have come to appreciate. Until these technical issues are resolved, I couldn't recommend this phone to anyone. |

phone constantly reboots and crashesReviewer: Erica Ford Don't get this phone. It constantly reboots and crashes. |

Don't let the glossy look and the songs of praise fool youReviewer: Tristan Although the Treo650 looks incredibly great and glossy and the songs of praise in the magazines keep on coming, this one is a real problem and frustration maker (resets without warning, batteries ware out after a few hours, turns "dead" suddenly so you have to remove and replace the battery to bring it to life again... just to name a few of the problems). Posessing the Treo650 will place you in the primary league of most wanted gadget owners, but will shoot you high in the frustration tree as well... But the worst is that if you use it professionally, you're bound to miss some important calls and appointments... So beware, this shiny beauty can mean trouble... |

Save your money Reviewer: H. Moss I purchased the unlocked GSM phone, and have been extremely disappointed. The phone periodically resets during phone calls, and drops calls randomly. When I called support, they had me do a number of inneffective actions with each call. Finally, I was told that they had a know hardware issue and that I could send my phone in, and within 1-2 weeks I would have it returned, or I could have it expedited (1 week) for 25.00. Either way I am very dissatisfied as I am paying for a known issue in their product and spent several hours to get any resolution. |

An excellent combination of phone and PDAReviewer: D. D Hall For those who see things from Palm's point of view (the Zen of Palm, as it were) this device is an excellent choice. It combines the efficient and superbly usable Palm operating system with an adequate phone implementation. Combining the two devices (PDA and phone) is a Good Thing® First, the PDA: You're getting Palm's fabled ease of use, coupled with the massive library of 3rd party PalmOS applications. Pretty much anything you want to do with a PDA, from acccessing your PC via VPN, to playing FPS games, is supported by someone. There are literally thousands of utilities, games, and other applications can be downloaded, often for free. The built-in support for MP3's, MS Office files, the 320x320 screen, and the camera all add up to an excellent PDA. Next the phone: This is an adequate implementation of a phone. While the device seems to do well at getting a signal, and there is no problem with making calls from the built in applications, putting the PDA to your ear does take some getting used to. A bluetooth headset solves this, and I'm not sure there's a better solution. The speakerphone is both loud and clear. The only con (thus far) is a lack of support in some older 3rd-party applications. If you happen to download something that isn't "well behaved" you can wind up with the occasional soft reset. No loss of data, but annoying nevertheless. This is usually the fault of a programmer taking liberties and using "unsupported" methods... for instance, accessing memory directly to write to the screen. Overall, I highly recommend the Treo 650. |
