Palm Treo 650 Review

- The Treo 650 from Sprint combines the venerable Palm operating system with a nicely designed handset that includes a fairly usable QWERTY keyboard and a vibrant display. It's not perfect--some design quirks and a high price are among its drawbacks--but there's an awful lot to like here.

    Strengths: Great battery life, smart design, keypad, great sound for phone, mp3 player.

    Weaknesses: VGA camera.

    Overall Evaluation: I have carried a cellphone and a palm pilot for the last 5 years. This past year I just got tired of carrying them around so one by one I started leaving them behind. I was trying to wait for the next generation of Treo to come out. Last week I decided to get a Treo 650 and I have not been dissappointed. Coupled with stereo headphones and a Ridata 2GB SD card($140), I have a phone, pda, wireless web, mp3 player(I started to say ipod), voice recorder, and on the go camera/video. I can't believe the camera is only .3 megapixels but I guess the thinking was to have a camera for sending pictures over the web. OK that makes sense. If you buy the treo definitely get the biggest SD card available and a good case. Bluetooth stereo headsets are a great asset but not a necessity. I used the included mono headset to make calls as well as to listen to music on my commute. Over all, this is the smartest phone on the market.
