Customer Review of PCS Phone palmOne Treo 600 (Sprint)
Almost there!
I would rate the Treo 600/CDMA as a 4/5 in a perfect universe, but the fact is it is the best smartphone (integrated PDA, whatever...) currently out there by a long shot. The next generation (c'mon Apple!) should take over the phone universe...

There are a ton of reviews that may state the same as below, but here's my 2¢:

My Useage (greatest to least):
Phone > Calendar/Alarm > Email > Navigation > Web > MP3 player > Notepad > Camera

Pros:
Call quality, loud internal speaker, data & palm integration (though still some quirky interfaces), adequate battery life (even w/CDMA version), bright display, large but comfy shape, stable with updated apps, SSH & VNC from anywhere(yay!!)

Cons:
Display (at least 16-bit instead of 12-bit color depth), back is too slick (vertical rubber inlay strips, please), camera useless average to low light, browsing is just a bit too slow for quick web fact checking (good considering, but page layout is painful at times - processor or Blazer?), center button on 5-way pad is too slick (needs dot, indentation, something)

I'm actually going to try to make this a laptop replacement (so I can afford an Apple G5 at home), since I don't usually do a tremendous amount of data entry away from the desk, just document review, email, travel arrangements, some minor web-server tweaks through SSH. Since this is my first Palm device, I've yet to try the Palm MS Office replacement apps to edit and resubmit Word docs through email. But I really think it may work for me! I miss my old RIM 650 keyboard, but not it's size (I have large, stubby man fingers though). Also, if you are of reasonable size and wear loose/cargo pants, you can just barely pocket (front or side, NOT back) this thing without fearing stubby-antenna-to-groin disaster.

The slow browsing is annoying but to be expected, but prevents me from checking something *discreetly* during conversation with clients or friends without a major interruption. So close...argh! Also, I refuse to believe that the camera quality in average lighting conditions could not have been improved greatly at maybe another $1.00 per unit cost. Yes, it is basically a free bonus, but Handspring/Palm One should know better.

And finally, a word on Sprint (since it's basically a part of the CDMA phone). I had a huge dispute a few years ago over dropped calls, mis-billing, and HORRIBLE service. ATTWS service wasn't a whole lot better but they tried to work with me at least. However, I was lured back to Sprint by the good performance/cost of the Vision network in metro areas and the Treo 600. Vision really is quite good; calling Sprint Billing or first-level support is still akin to shoving your head into a wood-chipper. Outright abusive. If you have problems, go to the Sprint store first. Do NOT do anything to your phone/account that cannot be fixed by the store tech. If you are going to twiddle with something else like changing your Sprint name or whatever, check the web boards and do it right the first time.

Even though the phone part was working, data (Vision) was not for the first 3 weeks I had the Treo. Eventually figured out the hard reset/erase myself (using the TOP power button, not front BTW), and manually entered network settings given to me after finally reaching 3rd level Wireless Web support tech (nice guy - the only person at Sprint not afflicted with pathological hostility it seems). Wasted a total of 10 hours of my time on the phone with billing and front line support to get that info, and my account setup again (because I was a customer 4 years ago). Beware... and good luck!

Great device with minor flaws
Amazon has the best deal on this phone through Sprint. So far I have had a pretty good experience with their service. I love the fact that I don't have to carry a PDA and a phone. I had a Clie and never used it because I was annoyed with inputting info, but because of the QWERTY on the Treo, I use the PDA all the time. The very minor cons are: Low ring volume (difficult to hear in my purse), poor picture quality on camera (just don't use it), no voice activation. I just signed up with the personal business plan, and I have been receiving and sending e-mails without problems except that suddenly my battery seems to be draining very quickly. I guess it takes a lot of battery life. I've changed some settings, so we'll see how that goes. Overall I am very pleased with the phone. With some minor improvements this device will far surpass others on the market.

Fragile
Features are great camera sucks blah blah. Let me get to the point.

I've had several cell phones in my life. Never once has one of them stopped working. Since I got this particular phone 6 months ago, it has simply stopped working not once, but twice. Two times I've had to replace the phone with a brand new unit. Two times I've lost all of my phone numbers and software.

So why did the phone stop working? Not because I dropped it. Not because I mishandled it or downloaded bad software. No, it was because (as far as I can tell) I switched to the phone mode too fast after typing a text message. That's it. Really. The phone just froze up and that was that.

With all the hassle I've gone through with this unit, I definitely cannot recommend it. If it had only happened once, okay, it's a fluke. But twice? For this kind of money, I would beware folks.
