Treo 680 Smart Phone

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2008
The Bottom Line: fair implementation of a great the Palm OS. OK for those who need basic integrated PDA and cell phone functionality. Integrates to both Widows and Mac PCs great.
Review: This is a long, but I hope informative and objective, review of the Treo 680.

First, I have been a Palm OS user and proponent since the Palm Pilot in the mid 90's. I have been a huge fan of the simple yet powerful OS that, since the...

Treo, PDA/Cell Phone: Any Technophile's Dream System

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: The new Treo 680 is what you need to be on the road. Its features are great and one of a kind tech wonder.
Review: If you are like me, then you may have secretly placed the PDA/Cell Phone on your wishlist this year. After all, it is a technological wonder. The Palm Treo 680 Smartphone comes equipped with so many little gadgets that will awe you. I know I have...

Palm Treo 680 Three of Three all have software issues

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: Avoid this until Palm works out the firmware issues.
Review: Update 5/18/07
Cingular switched the phone for a new one about a month ago. They felt that I just got a bad phone. The new one worked fine for a while. Last night it would not hot sync again. Today the same giberish appeared in the phone window...

Disappointing

Date of Review:  May 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: Do not buy the product. It is a very disappointing product. It can place you in danger if you need to dial 911 and it freezes.
Review: I have been a fan of Palm since they began making smartphones. With every new product, I saw improvements. I had a Handspring, a Palm, and a Treo. I bought the Treo 680 because it was the only one that was unlocked and could work with T-Mobile...

All Show and No Go

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: Stay away - nothing but problems haven't heard a good thing yet
Review: I purchased the Palm 680 when it was released in Dec through cingular. It worked well and I had few if any problems for the first 2 months. When I added a 1gig SD card and MP3's the software problems started. The phone would freeze frequently...

Treo 680 from Cingular

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2006
Review: Treo appears to have great features that PalmOS users have come to expect. I bought mine from Cingular the day that they arrived in my local cingular store. I have had to return two of them and am on my third one. The first was locked up and would...

Why Palm/Treo is a Dying Idea

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: Do not buy this device. It is obsolete.
Review: When was the last time you considered a Palm/Treo? As cell phones converge, the personal information manager (as a stand-alone device) is dying as well. The concept of a personal information manager, indeed the whole bases for the Palm operating...

Treo 680, Worth the Change?

Date of Review:  Aug 12, 2007
Review: As a 650 user I decided to make the change. The 650 had many issues, like constant rebooting and all the other complaints many users had. Physically the 680 is very nice, ironically it is not as good as the 650 for one handed operation. My 680 has...

Biggest mistake yet?

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would not take another one if it was given to me. Stay away from this cheaply built PDA.
Review: I got the Treo 680 as a replacement for a stolen Blackberry from Cingular. At first I was impressed. It seemed to work well. It did freeze occasionally, which was a pain. Other than that I was happy with it.

The bliss was short lived...

The Palm Treo is a lifesaver.

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: I love my Treo and would buy it over and over again if I needed to.
Review: Being a busy mom on the go, I needed a calendar to keep me in order and a way to organize my lists and everyday life. I don't usually carry a big purse, so I wanted all of this in a phone so I didn't have to carry a lot of stuff. I decided on the...
