In the early days, I bought my first Personal Digital Assistant called the Psion series 3. After a while, I upgraded to the Psion series 5, then on to the Palm Pilot - I was in geek heaven. A few years later, I upgraded to the Palm ...

Pros: Great overall all-in-one device that offers a phone, Palm, camera, video capturing program.
Cons: You're stuck with only one device. Resets can be annoying although it can be minimized.

After panting and wishing to get my hands on the Treo 650, I finally got hold of one this past March. My family went on a vacation during Spring Break to Tokyo and Hong Kong. I finally bought an unlocked GSM Treo 650 (they don't subsidy lock the phones ...

Pros: Many fine features you will love.
Cons: Expensive; subject to early outdated-ness as technology improves.

Almost four years ago I reviewed a cellphone called the Handspring Treo 300, and I called it “The Ultimate (2002) Cellphone”. This device was widely accepted by many as the standard against which to judge phones that integrated cellular ...

Cons: The touch screen display can be slightly inconvenient when using the phone features.

Recently I have been testing many of the new ‘all in one’ wireless products. Mostly these have included devices that are a combination of wireless phone and PDA. For the most part, I have found these devices to be inefficient and uncomfortable. ...

Cons: 22MB Memory, Cradle

Pros: Bluetooth, display, good battery life on the user-replaceable battery, non-volatile memory, nice all-in-one
Cons: Sprint (only version out so far), no WiFi, memory issues, Price

UPDATED seven hours later: the original review was written in an insomniac haze at 5:00 a.m. (read: I was very tired and very bored). Two full weeks with the 650 and I'm one hell-of-a happy woman. I've recently become convinced that I'm a technology ...

Pros: Bright, high-resolution screen; improved keyboard with backlight; video
Cons: ROM software seems a little unpolished; most T600 accessories will not work

The Treo 650 is my third Treo. I previously have owned a Treo 300 and a Treo 600. I have also owned various PDAs, including the Tungsten C, Tungsten T and iPAQ 5455. For my needs and desires, the T650 is easily the best phone on the market. Anyone ...

Pros: Multiple functions, beautiful display, SD cards, stylus, PalmOS
Cons: So-so hardware, software complexity, instability, 5-way pad, PalmOS

I'm relatively new to the Palm phenomenon... sorta. I was a Newton 110/120 owner, briefly used one of the original Palm handhelds, and used a Blackberry 7230 until I got the Treo. I've always felt keyboards were the right way to do text entry, so I've ...

Pros: Phone function & sound quality, keyboard, display, speed, battery life, *wireless data*
Cons: No scroll wheel; decent case is extra; add-on SD memory card not included

Cons: Expensive! Try looking online for better deals...

Pros: Nice size and battery life.
Cons: Resets are an issue and bluetooth is iffy at best.

Having owned only 2 pdas before this, I truly believed that my days of searching for the perfect handheld was over. My last pda was the wonderful Palm Tungsten C. When you combine the built in wi-fi, sd card slot, alphanumeric keyboard, and 64mb of ...

Pros: Does it all in one small package
Cons: Expensive, no included case, car charger or charging/synching cradle (only cables)

****THIS REVIEW HAS AN UPDATE AT THE END, DATED 19 JULY 2005**** After months of research, I took the plunge and bought my first 'smart phone', the Treo 650. Despite the fact that my company currently supports only Blackberries, the features ...

Pros: Quad band, good display, multifunction. IT WORKS
Cons: Some niggling software issues, audio that could be a bit better. SD card sticks out

I suppose it's pretty late in the game to be writing a review of this model, because the next generation (the 670) is just around the corner. Mine are (I have 2) the GSM (international) version, unlocked. If you've ever read any of my other reviews ...

Cons: Your able to access and be accessed, anywhere any time

I travel a lot about 50,000 flown miles per year, and I'm away from my desk about 2 days a week, at least. I needed to have a tool that was portable, and definitely one that was in-sync with my office. I also wanted to have an integrated mobile phone ...

Pros: Same great productivity with awesome new keyboard and display
Cons: crash happy, still quirky

I've had the Treo 600 for over a year before finally taking the plunge with the 650 a short while ago. The 650 is neither a total redesign nor radical change from the 600. The 650 does the exact same fundamental things as the 600 did (phone, PDA, PIM). ...
