    got it at a whooping price of 39,900 pesos in manila. now i've been using treo 650 for 5 days...and i'm so DISAPPOINTED!
    - have to turn off brightness to be able to reach 3 days prior another battery charge
    - expensive softwares...i've puchased Photo Resco Viewer at www.palmfocus.com for $18 but what i got was a software without an activation code
    - installed ringo mp3 tone for $29 but the tone is limited to ring up to 5 seconds only
    - it has a free treo headset which costs 3,900 pesos but it's not working.when i called-up the store (complink, sm mega mall)fro where i got it, they referred me to their supplier instead of replacing it immediately...poor after sales service
    - you have to copy/paste inbox messages to saved messages...no another create folder
    - very small font
    - you have to purchase a software to read .gif files
    - no screensaver
    - i've installed mmplayer for divx files...it worked but the audio for newly taken videos VANISHED!
    - speakerphone is not so loud...i even got missed calls because of the cheap built-in speaker
    -no headset for mp3 player
    -you have to input contacts manually instead of copying from sim
    -sometimes my phone rings midi files instead of the assigned mp3
    -installed some of my mtv video collections but it shows thumbnail size instead of full screen

    + easy text messaging
    + elegant design

        I have been using my Treo 650 for three months, after using the SE 910 and O2, this is the absolute best so far. Did extensive international travel with it, using infrared keyboard, and took beautiful fotos which could be sent via GPRS networks. Superb.

          DO NOT go for 650. I tried to update my 600 to 650 and I had 14 days down time.
          My manager almost want to fire me on this.
          and finally I decided to go back to 600.
          650 NOT working with ACT! and has lots of other issues

              DANGER !! DANGER !! DANGER !! The treo 650 is an invitation to "th mother of all migranes"... Unrilaible, frustrating, cumbersome... Bought one 10 days ago, so far I am on my 3rd device. Fried the first two witha runaway charger... so hot I had to use a wash cloth from the hotel (on the 2nd device). applications such as the camera only cause a reseting of the device... ABSOLUTELY no trust or faith on wether the device will work or not. Have missed lots of incoming calls... no reason, no voice mail...
              STAY AWAY FROM IT. I am so thankful that I am within the 39 day buyers remorse.. You betcha its going back to cingular....

                  Hi to all,

                  I would like to know that the Treo 650 supports as a dial-up modem or not. Is there any 3rd party softwares that I could use so I can use dial-up with my Treo 650.

                  I heard that someone said that the Treo 650 has some script to install so that it can dial-up.

                  Anyone please help me out. Thanks.

                    Comming from tre 180-treo 270 treo 600, sony 910i, qtek909 and now treo 650.
                    Summerise all treo devices workt just fine and did what they advertised. I tryed the pocket pc and this was nightmare, reseting, upgrating the eproms, installing reinstalling etc. Every day was thinking will my phone work yes or no, on each call you receive asking your self will this work with my headset (bt) or no. Actualy westing more time to put questions in stad of make or take the necessary phones.
                    The main differense between the windows based phones and symbian/palm os is that the last phones/pda worked withous asking you if they go to do what they are suppose to do they just do. The difference between Treo 650 and the 910 of sony/ericsson is the keyboard is mutch better and personal i'm used to work with the palm. But to my point of vieuw there is for the time been no phone/pda that is works as good as the treo 650. Configuration took just five minutes no questions have been asked. It just worked from the very first time. Bt sound quality perfect. Perhaps the new phone from hp the hw6515 will bring even beter results but I stay on the fact that for the momment the treo 650 is perfect no resets no installing and reinstalling soft. it just works.
                    Ps: I'm just a user and not worker at palm.

                      Treo 650 owner for 6 months

                      Strengths
                      Great battery life! 3days standby
                      650 has removable/replaceable battery
                      QWERTY is VERY useful text messaging
                      Good size and rugged
                      Lots of good software out there.
                      With 1Gig SD- this a great mp3 player
                      Calculator convert EVERYTHING
                      Fits in pocket comfortably
                      EDGE speeds, although I've never
                      used it and frankly don't use
                      this for webbrowsing.
                      Software is easier to use and more
                      intuitive than other pdas.

                      Weaknesses
                      No w-lan
                      Vibration is not strong enough
                      The excel program, not user friendly
                      doesn't include stereo headset,
                      in fact stereo headset from treo
                      is not cheap
                      Not dumbproof
                      occasional, 1 in 2wk, OS freezes
                      so-so camera

                      PDA phones are not perfect by any means but the Treo 650 is, in my opinion, the best PDA phone. The O2s and windows based phones have ridiculously low battery life. I dunno how I'd live without this phone now. Great calendar, I never miss appointments and meetings now, I listen to mp3s when I'm on the train, I practice writing chinese characters, I read ebooks. The damn calculator does everything, even finance. I don't use the web browsing much and I don't play games on my phone so I can't make any recommendations on that end.

                        I bought a treo 650 GSM unlocked a while ago. Terrible choice. Constant resets (4-6 times a day) WITHOUT any third party software installed. I have tried all of the suggestions posted by various communities but to no avail. I would not reccomend this phone to anyone.

                            Or do I have to use the Palm software?
                            Thanks

                                Far from perfect, yet...as close as can be. Phone, calendar, contacts, documents on the go, email, SMS, MMS, Web, cam, video, and mp3 player....what more could you ask for? This is an excellent working tool for the contemporary business person. A tad bulky, but a small price to pay for a mobile office that fits in your coat pocket. Imagine what the 700 or 800 series will be like...rumours abound, they will be slimmer and not necessarily smaller, and better quality res for screen and cam. A solid performer, worth every penny if you demand and excellent business tool that offers it all.

                                    The Treo 650 is a smartphone. Obviously it is MORE than just simply a phone like the Razr or a Nokia. To simply give up on it after one day of simple-minded use, as one poster here had done and "proudly" proclaim they had gone back to a V3 smacks of extreme foolishness or ignorance. I had migrated from a PocketPC to this, and I can truly say my Treo beats ANY existing smartphone on the market hands down. Yes, it's that good and if you can afford it, rush to the store and get one! P.S: my experience is resets occur due to software error 99.9 pct of the time. And after 3 or 4 days of using it properly, you'll start to wonder how you ever got along without it, I guarantee! :)

                                        One day after I purchased my Treo 650, it started acting up. It would reboot and turn on and off in a continuous loop all by itself. I tried a soft reboot and a hard reboot, and even taking out the battery and putting it back in, and it still would be stuck in a loop of booting up and shutting down. I put a screen protector which comes with the Treo 650 box. The screen protector caused the touch screen pda to act up and not work, so I had to tak it off. Finally I took it back and purchased a Razor Phone which is amazing. I bought the Treo 650 because I had the Treo 600 for two years and was pleased with it. Even the 600 had it's problems with the headphone jack and the speaker not working. Stay away from Treo.
