 "Great features in a TREO" | 2009-03-02 |
| - Reviewed By channel1suite |
Everything about this phone is great with me. Especially the PDA functions, Camera and Video. I use an SD card to store the pics from the camera and videos from the camcorder. Sure, they aren't high quality, but they work good enough that I don't have to carry a digital camera or camcorder around with me. Messaging, Blue Tooth have always worked great. I especially like the assorted ring/alarm tones.
The nice thing about this phone is that it's much more compact than the Tungsten models I've owned the past years, plus the additional features the Tngstens don't have. I've been so impressed that I'm moving up to the 700p next. |

 "Price too high..." | 2009-01-27 |

The unlocked Treo 650 phone is a good first time smartphone alternative for who would like to use prepaid GSM SIM cards here or abroad. It's got great features like MMS, superb display, text messaging, calender, MP3 player, 1.3 MP Camera, Versamail(which is great for google mail, not so great for Yahoo) plus the usual PDA functions. Keep in mind that data charges are expensive from all GSM carriers if you are using a prepaid plan however and the battery life is fairly decent depending on usage and of course you should charge the phone regularly as with all smartphones. Having said that, the price i see displayed here is way too high. I purchased the same phone(new, not used or refurbished --- formerly branded to cingular, but unlocked) for $150.00 at Tigerdirect/COMPUSA. Unless this phone's browser supports ALL carriers i really don't see any difference other than the faceplate color and of course it's twice as expensive.
Another alternative would be to buy the latest and best smartphone (could be GSM or CDMA depending on where you want to use it) with a contract unfortunately, but if you browse the web a lot/ use e-mail a lot that's the way to go |

| The shipping and product delivery from the seller was fine. The stability of the operating system in the unit however has been rather iffy. This is my 3rd Palm Treo, and love the units, but this one may have a bug in it. It rather routinely freezes up or randomly shuts down and resets on its own, losing whatever work I had. I'm trying to give it some time to see if there's a pattern, but my fear is that I may be sending this in for service or looking to spend another chunk of money on an all new unit. Not sure. |

| It may not be the latest version of the Treo family, we bought ours used, but the Treo 650 is a great phone to be sure! Palms have generally always been good devices and this is certainly no exception. |

I am very pleased with the seller. Initially there was an issue with the phone I received but when I contacted the seller his response was prompt. As a result the issue was rectified by the seller replacing the original phone with another that exceeded my expectations.

| I purchased a USED Palm Treo 650, that was supposed to be in very good condition and is supposed to come with the basic accessories. I just got delivery on the phone today and it was totally NOT WHAT I ordered. It was BUSTED UP with SCRATCHES on the exterior, it came with NO PEN, NO CHARGER, AND NO EAR PHONES, NO SOFTWARE CD and NO DATA CABLE. HOWEVER it did come with someone's contacts still installed, an inbox full of someone else's emails, a BUSTED BATTERY and LOTS of teeth marks like a starved Rhino chewed on its housing. I usually do a fair amount of Shopping on amazon cause I think its a pretty safe, it has good stuff on sale. So I was most SHOCKED when the piece of JUNK arrived posing as a used phone. DISAPPOINTING. Okay not only is the phone look terrible but I inserted a local sim into the thing AND IT DOES NOT WORK. this phone is NO WAY CLOSE TO BEING UNLOCKED. DISAPPOINTED TWICE |
