| I have used this phone for 2.5 years. I use it to store over 4500 contacts and put all my personal info in it. I dont use it for eamail for internet. I use the palm desktop since 1999 and would change to Outlook. Its a great simple format. I have never had to do a hard reset. It is a durable phone and I bought another as a backup. |

| The Palm Treo 600 has worked flawlessly since day one - if it would work with the CDMA system Verizon is on (the only service I get at our new house) I would definitely keep it, but its on GSM with Cingular/ATT which has incredibly poor service in my new area. If there is any service available this phone will pick it up where others wont. Add to it all the features this smartphone adds and its a great piece of equipment at a now killer price since the new models have emerged (& are having problems this older model doesnt). IMO you cant go wrong with this phone, and I have 3 other friends with the sale model that love it just as much. |

 "A good smartphone plagued with a few serious problems" | 2006-06-21 |

I recently bought an unlocked version of this phone off eBay to replace a Moto Razr phone and an older Palm PDA. It was a pain lugging both of them around and I wanted a device that had both a PDA and phone in one plus e-mail and web browsing capabilities like a Blackberry. A tall order but this phone nearly pulls it off.
Palm users will have no trouble using the familiar PalmOS apps that we've all come to know and love such as Calendar, To-Do List, and Memo Pad. The 4-way navigation button makes it faster and easier to navigate than using the touchscreen although I do find myself whipping out the stylus every now and then. There is no graffiti input on this PDA instead you must use either the qwerty keyboard or touchscreen which have their own inherent difficulties. The tiny keyboard buttons are hard to press and often results in typos. Its slower than using the touchscreen keyboard and definately not ideal for writing long e-mails and such. The touchscreen on this phone is not as forgiving as the one on my old Handspring Visor. You have to be extremely gentle when weilding the stylus because even a small amount of pressure can cause yellow spots to form on the LCD screen. I use the touchscreen occassionally with great care and with a protective cover on the screen and yet I still got a faint yellow spot on the LCD within days. For me this is the most dissappointing thing about this phone.
As a phone the Treo 600's performance is mediocre to average at best. It gets horrible reception indoors. People often complain about static when I'm inside buildings. Poor reception is also accompanied by a loud, annoying buzzing noise that both people on the line can hear. I looked it up on the web and discovered through user reviews that this was an all-too-common problem amongst many Treo 600 users. When it does get good reception, however, the call quality is superb even better than my Moto Razr. The speakerphone is nice and loud although it can be hissy sometimes.
But my favorite feature by far is the ability to send and receive e-mail. Using the Snappermail app (the built-in mail app isn't very good), I can seamlessly link up to my Gmail account and use push e-mail just like on a Blackberry. Plus, its a lot cheaper to use T-zones for e-mail and Internet access on a Treo than the Internet/E-mail plans offered by T-mobile for Blackberrys.
All in all, this is a phone I can live with for the time being although I am ever so-concerned about the LCD screen going bad with use. The fragile screen, hard to use keypad, and subpar phone are the only real drawbacks of this phone but they are serious enough that anyone thinking of getting this phone should give it a good, hard second look. I've heard the Treo 650 has fixed some of these problems and if that's true I would definately consider it over the 600. I do plan to upgrade to another smartphone in a few months when my contract expires such as T-Mobile MDA or Treo 650. |

Hi,
Before buying this phone from Amazon, I called Palm and they told me that there would be a 1 year warranty on this item as long it is new. I subsequently bought this unlocked version of the phone and I am using it on the T-Mobile network.
I now have a problem on the display within 2 months of purchase. I call Palm and after multiple run arounds with tech support, they asked me to read out my serial number. It starts with a HAGA which, they indicate, means that it has to be on the AT&T Wireless Network. According to them, I am in violation of the warranty since I am using it on the T-Mobile network. How am I know what the serial number on the back of the phone means prior to my purchase? If I am purchasing a GSM unlocked phone, obviously I need the flexibility to move to a different network.
Palm is taking the easy way out - they want you to buy an unlocked phone from their site and not from Amazon. Amazon, itself, does not provide any warranty.
If any of you have had better luck with Palm or have any suggestions - please let me know.
Thanks |

| Picture quality sucks for the price. Colors are way freaky. The screen is perfect for text but not for pictures. Viewing pictures on this is terrible. Keyboard is ackward at first. The manual needs to be much more detailed. Sorta confusing to use if not familliar with palm pilots. I expected to use it like a typical pilot, where you write on the screen. This feature is not implemented. Overall, this is a very good phone. Good reception, great sound quality!! Speakerphone is great! Neat features. Worth the $$. |

The Treo600 has all the functions I needed -- phone, calendar, camera, etc. Two shortcomings:
1) the screen is not good for viewing pictures, but that's what I get for being unwilling to spend more for a Treo650
2) the phone failed to dial two times in two months. I had to turn off the phone and on again to fix the problem. |

I bought this phone 2 months back. This looks good and it has more functionality of PDA and also works as a good mobile phone. The concern here is some time when you make a call it is not getting disconnected and we need to switch off the mobile mode.
The speaker phone quality is good and talk time is also good.
I recommend you can buy this but see for better option also.
