Palm One Treo 650 Smartphone
PalmOne Treo 650 Unlocked Phone with MP3 Video Player and SD MMC U S Version with Warranty Silver
The Treo 650 smartphone from palmOne makes it easier than ever to stay connected. It simplifies your life by combining a compact mobile phone with email, an organizer, messaging, and web access. There’’s also Bluetooth technology so you can connect wirelessly to other Bluetooth devices. Not to mention an MP3 player, a digital camera that captures video, and a vibrant color screen that brings everything to life - all in a device that’’s still small enough to fit in your pocket. Seems like Treo smartphones just keep getting smarter.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great features in a TREO
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.
3 Stars Price too high…
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
3 Stars Palm Treo issues
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.
1 Star Palm can not make a decent phone
I”ve owned six different Treo Palm phones. I”ve also gone through at least a half-dozen of many of each model due to the handset protection program. No amount of these phones has ever proven to be reliable or not without problems. Let my misery be your wisdom. Move on. Palm has repeatedly made it clear they are not capable of producing an adequate smart phone. Ignore my advice and waste your money.
5 Stars Excellent phone!
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.
Buy/More Info
