Hi treo maniacs,

I am in Vietnam. I have been thinking about buying a Treo smartphone since last December. My need is to have a phone that allows me to check my emails too in a proper manner. Did not buy a 600 knowing that the 650 was to be released early 2005.

Now my Sony Ericson T630 is dead and I need to buy it. Both models are now on offer here. The 600 @ $400, which seems a good deal and 650 @ $770, which is ... hard spending to digest... Still I can't decide. Buying the old one or the latest one...

After brownsing the net, it seems that the 600 has proved to be a bestseller whilst the 650 is said to have a few shortcomings for the extra $.

Appreciate your opinions.

Thanks
Sam

I tried one because of the closeout price (US$300) at T-Mobile with extra memory chip and MP3 software. I had mixed feelings but the killer was that when switched to speakerphone, the mic gain dropped noticeably, making it almost useless as a speakerphone. Motorola speakerphones do this properly, increasing mic gain.

The worst phone ever!! There is loud humming sound, the keys are clumsy and the phone keep going on wireless mode from the slightest touch of the phone.

I've used this phone without a problem for 18 months. A few weeks ago I changed to a 910i and changed back a eight days later. The Sony has terrible battery life, cannot be used properly with one hand and the Outlook software does not transfer without multiple duplication.

The Treo is a little ugly, a tad bulky and equipped with a lousy camera, but it is a reliable phone, contacts book and diary. I can also send and read emails and (just about) surf the web. Shame that Orange's coverage is nothing like what they boast. All said, I would recommend the Treo 600 to anyone, and I look forward to trying the 650.

I have almost everything on the my network SP that I need e.g Settings Name , Gateway I.P Address , Server URL e.t.c but where do I go to setup or to activate this service on the actual handset . How do create a profile for MMS , GPRS, WAP .

After a while phone stops recognizing home network---NO RECEPTION.
Sound quality must be improved.
The only positive point is an extra MMC/SD slot.
Nothing special.
Palm should work more on redesigning of this product in order to make the size small.
I have tried it and would not recommend it. Wait for new version after Treo 650.

Dear PalmOne,
I wish to inform you all that this phone is such a very nice innovation so far seen in recent time.

bad phone : after a while, dust enters the phone, and makes awful sounds for the person you talk to (3rd phone in a row that does that to me, although the phone is kept in its protective stuff)

screen & camera resolution are poor

not recommended
