TREO 650

Great phone in general, your performance depends on your phone/internet provider. Prone to screen freezing resulting in frequent resets. If you get the dreaded "Blue Blob", Just ship it back for a new one. I strongly recommend extended warranty service, you will eventally need it.

Better than expected

First off, I enjoy buying and switching cell phones and PDAs and trying out all the features, nit-picking their deficits, and praising their perfections...it's become a hobby, somewhat, and to date I have not found the perfect one of either (although Nokia phones are close).

Secondly, I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive when it comes to planning, organizing, etc. and for 8 years I have not been able to let go of using paper planners rather than switching over to a PDA. I decided to switch over this year since as a new nurse, I don't trust to carry much to work, especially an organizer spilling over with post-it notes. As for phone usage, I am not a power user but I do use it several times a day in short conversations.

The Palm Treo 650 has been awesome, better than I expected, and is not making it very difficult for me to let go of paper and pen. What struck me first was the gorgeous screen (it's something like 65,000), which is bright and vibrant (compared to the Tungsten I have had). There's a plethora of features to learn but that's part of the fun, isn't it? I got this phone unlocked so I use it on T-Mobile.

Since I am not a business professional, I cannot speak for the functionality from that perspective but as young professional who loves to text message, constantly check email (I got Gmail POP to work in 2 minutes flat), use the phone, and obsessive-compulsively check daily plans, weekly timetables, etc. as well as write several notes-to-self, to-do lists, and shopping lists, this Treo is awesome. It also doesn't hurt that it looks terrifically sophisticated, albeit bulky, which I actually like (it doesn't feel so dainty like the Motorola Q and Samsung Blackjack). And I personally like the antenna on top, unlike the more recent Treo models.

I have not had the issue that others have had of the phone switching on and off or freezing and so far the applications have been running seamlessly. As there as tons of things to find out about this Treo, I will just conclude with the highlights of the good and bad that I've found:

GOOD:
1. Good look, good feel (just get a case or sleeve so it stays shiny and new).
2. Screen and colors are beautiful.
3. Call quality is good and clear, no issues with volume.
4. Organizer is excellent and easy to learn/use.
5. Camera phone is good for a VGA cam, just make sure to get a larger capacity SD memory card.
6. Battery life is good (I charge it every 2-3 days)
7. Versamail retreives my Gmail with no problem.
8. Internet, although not 3G or Wifi, will suffice!
9. Any extra applications or help you need is probably already on the internet.
10. Bluetooth syncs well with my Mac's Bluetooth, transferring pictures and songs is soo easy.
11. Lots of customizing options.

NOT SO GOOD:
1. Wish Palm would come out with a different, more detailed "Month View," rather than those colored boxes/blocks representing your events.
2. Wish the camera could have been a 1.3mp camera or higher.
3. Keypad is still kind of cramped.

Overall, this Treo 650 has been good to me. It's fun to use, although I can't tell you how it holds up as a heavy-duty business phone. Hope this helps others in the same boat! Especially those who have had a hard time deciding whether to make the switch from paper planning to a PDA.
