  Weaknesses:

  Overall Evaluation: Do not recommend. Terrible service barely picks up signal. Crashes continously. Recently locked up and I had to return it to the sprint store to get a new one. I would not go with this model next time.

  Strengths: Great reception, clear sound, crammed full of features, easy to use and navigate.

  Weaknesses: Poor camera quality, no bluetooth, little pricey. EDITED TO ADD - after using this phone for 7 months I would not recommend it! We went through 4 phones until Cingular replaced it with a 650.

  Overall Evaluation: EDITED TO ADD: After using this phone for 6+ months I would NOT recommend it! We went through 4 phones until Cingular replaced it with a 650. First phone - could not receive calls. Second phone - Could not stay connected to the network and phone would not ring. Third phone - Could not place calls. Last phone - Could not make or receive calls. After getting upgraded to the 650 I would say save your money and buy the 650 - it is worth the extra $$$_____________________________I got the Treo for my wife who is constantly on the go. Being able to set appointments with alarm reminders is great for her, and she can use it very easily wherever she is. Picture caller ID is great, easy to navigate to both contact list or favorites list to place calls. Speakerphone sound is good, but the person on the other end of the speakerphone hears very low speech from the user. Great combination of PDA and cellphone, was very easy to start using right out of the box. Only complaints are that the phone does not come with a car charger as standard, and the camera picture quality is not very good. The hands free and sync capability seem to work flawlessly (so far!). Even though the keyboard looks small and cramped, it is surprisingly easy to use. I started out using the stylus most of the time, but have pretty much quit using or needing it. Overall both my wife and I are very impressed with the Treo 600, so much so that I plan to buy another one so we both have one! I highly recommend this device to anyone looking for a quality smartphone.
