Great phone -Great applications!
After 4 years or so, my Treo is finally telling it's age. The phone functionality turns off and on and random intervals. (it works but I never know when I'll miss a call. = / )
That said, this phone was extremely reliable for many years!

Pros:
*Great reception

*Practically unlimited applications (if you can think of a functionality, I guarantee you that someone has made an app for it! I even over-clocked my phone for a time to 400mhz(stable).)

*responsive touch screen (Prior to the iPhone, it was the best IMO)

*One of the most configurable phones I've ever used. (nearly everything on the phone can be tweaked)

*Great calendar!

Cons:
*Difficult learning curve for the OS. (the OS isn't the most user friendly)

*Keyboard can be difficult to type with (you have to press the buttons fairly hard)

*It Randomly Calls People. Be careful when carrying it around in your pocket! You never know when the phone might decide to call one of your friends! (my biggest complaint -Can be solved with a carry-case.)

*Poor native file management. (this can be solved somewhat with FileZ or other similar apps)

I've been using this phone for three + years and still love everything about this phone. :)

I even took my husbands and got him a Centro (which seemed to me like an updated 650 stripped of business features) so now I have two! :)

best PDA fone i ever laid my hands on. better than the treo 680. especially with apps like touch launcher, fontsmoother, lightwav and 2cool4u installed, it's the coolest fone ever!!

I love the design of this one. it simply has that executive apppeal. wish they could make another model similar to this one but with a more updated features like wifi and 3g, and better display, while keeping the external antena as is..

> In reply to Lyn @ 2009-05-05 15:42 from PB5vI've had my Treo 650 for over 2 yrs and before that, a Treo 300. I love them. Definately a data phone first-- data organizer, PDA, memos, etc... yet it doesn't slouch on games, camera, and Google Maps.

I understand other versions of the Treo are good also, but not all use the Palm OS. There are over 7,000 free palm programs available (freepalmsoftware.com), yet I'm still moving to a 3G phone??? Why??? I'm not sure.
