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 been awed ever since I have come in contact with it... Read full review »

Almost ready as a Treo 650 replacement.

byhightesthome May 11, 2007
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Plenty of memory space. Signal strength better than 650 yet more compact.
Cons Two software issues that need to be fixed quickly.
Recommended it? No

I've owned several smart phones over the last couple of years. Recently I'd migrated from the Treo 650 to the new Treo 680. I don't regret my decision, but I do feel that the product needs to mature a little further before I recommend other 650 owners ditch their earlier product. To give some... Read full review »

Why Palm/Treo is a Dying Idea

byunivers Jan 7, 2007
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Appearance is nice. 3rd party software/accessories excellent.
Cons Browser performance insufferable. Operating system stodgy. Keyboard difficult to use...
Recommended it? No

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 system is obsolete. But I had fond memories of my... Read full review »

The Palm Treo is a lifesaver.

byfamofsix Mar 4, 2008
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use, Great calendar, video camera
Cons Not easy to download ringtones
Recommended it? Yes

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 Palm Treo and have been in love ever since. It has...

Be nice to it and it just might work for you.

byvandiik Jan 16, 2008
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros All in one, and it works for me.
Cons Battery life.
Recommended it? Yes

I'm writing this review because I think the Treo 680 has been unfairly judged by some with little or no Palm OS background. Imagine a Toyota Camry driver assessing old Jaguar autos. You can imagine them shaking their heads and saying "Unreliable." "Avoid." "Lemon." etc. But that criticism would... Read full review »

Treo 680 Smart Phone

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Size, weight, OS. Call log. 4 gig SD and 64 MB memory. P-Tunes basic.
Cons Slow OS, Disappointing battery life, integration 650 software, limited or unavailable...
Recommended it? Yes

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 beginning, has integrated applications and had many... Read full 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 used to look up names an would not find the... Read full review »

Disappointing

byszneimer May 24, 2008
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Light, good design.
Cons Expensive, freezes, slow.
Recommended it? No

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. Unfortunately, the Treo 680 is a much worse product... Read full review »

Pros looks good
Cons dropped calls, software issues, hardware probelms, you name it
Recommended it? No

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 between screens and I was pulling the battery out a few... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, great software, easy to connect to PC
Cons Screen cracks VERY easily, system freezes
Recommended it? No

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 though. After about a month, I put the phone on my... Read full review »
