battery lasts not even a day!!! use the 680 more then a week now and can't believe what I got, phone itself is good, better then the 650 to my opinion, but useless when you do not make it with one battery through a normal day!! how can palm say that in stand by the battery lasts up to 300 hours?!?

Rachel, to customize your ringtones and set MP3 ringtones, you have to buy RINGO PRO, a useful software. How much? About 20-30 U$S dollars. I've bought it, but I had one problem since installation: my Treo 650 turned off and on by its own way. One problem solved by Palm Argentina Customer Service (I've wrote it 4 everyone who had this problem too). So, if you want to know more, please write me ccorrea@movi.com.ar

See U soon.

I'm really enjoying my Palm 680 a replacement to my 600. My only disappointment is that my Palm is not compatible with SKYPE. Is there a way to benefit from SKYPE that anyone can share with the rest of us?

Great colour touch screen and quad band GSM. as always has Palm's easy to use menu system with none of the "are you sure" (as found on WM5).
Compared to the 650 it is not really much of a change, though it is certainly improved in most areas. The SD card now has it's own slot and won't fall out. Bluetooth is V1.2. Ease of use has always been Palm's selling point and it still is - the diary, email and phonebook are all simple and effective to use.
On the down side the camera is still unacceptable - should be at least a 2M pix or better still just don't fit one and have WiFI instead. Lack of 3G can also be an issue, though at least the battery life will be good as it doesn't have 3G.
Compared to the competition it wins hands down on ease of use, you just have to wonder why it's been launched (though glad to still have Palm O/S) as the Treo 650 is virtually the same..

The Palm 680 one piece design is ideal palm size with ease of operation - direct access convenience. The spec is quite obsolete inspite of good technology readily available in the market. Sony Ericson 990i(Symbian) and HTC P4350/Dopod C800 (Window),have responded fast. What Palm OS has to offer for their existing users?

As a world traveller I've been waiting for Palm's release of a GSM phone. Finally it is here; however, I wonder why Palm is lagging so far behind other brands in accommodating SKYPE capability.

Question 1: Does anyone know if the Palm 680 will accommodate SKYPE?

Question 2: How can one install SKYPE on this phone?

Best regards. Tom McKnight

Despite all their technological shortcomings, in a few very critical ways PalmOS Treo's are still the best smartphones period: Best form factor per function (there is no better QWERTY/display/touchscreen combo out there), most usable OS (sorry WinMob, despite better tech under the hood, you are a buggy piece of crashy, frustrating garbage up front), and best office editing (MS' own office apps suck compared to Docs to Go). Even without WiFi or a kick-ass camera, this is still the phone to beat.

This certainly is my dream phone. I hope no newer version arrives for sometime after I get mine so that I can really enjoy what I've got.

Indeed, when we talk about modern phones, there is only Treo... and then some other phones.

The Treo 680 is really in a class of its own but I think the addition of WIFI and FM radio would really put this fact out of contention once and for all - the knockout blow.
