I’ve had my Palm Treo 680 smartphone for over 3 months now. Used it every day for business and pleasure.
It’s no good. I can’t recommend it. My first Treo (a 270) was an amazing machine and its flip lid made me fel like captain Kirk. This one, doesn’t. No doubt it is more powerful, sleeker, but it simply doesn’t work as well. Add to that the fact that the free software that made Palm OS great is all but replaced by rubbish pay-ware and you have a huge disappointment.
Specifics? sure.
Positive point, it got drowned and woke up again. (So did a 5+ year old Nokia basicphone).
Less positive?
- Reception is not great;
- it hangs and has to be rebooted fairly often… and ALWAYS at the wrong time
- Maybe I’m getting hard of hearing in my old age, but why doesn’t that affect any of my other phones?
- And worst of all.. it makes me miss my Windows-mobile-based phone! Nice one Palm!
I don’t like it. I am looking for a new phone just as soon as decently I can.
