PalmTreo Smart Phone

If you want a phone that does it all, the palm treo smart phone is for you. It is cell phone and a full featured palm PDA. You can get one from Sprint, Verizon, Cingular, AT&T or purchase one directly from Palm. The Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T models are locked their carriers, but one purchased directly can be used on other carriers.

The palm treo smart phone is easy to use one handed as a phone but has all the features of a PDA. It has an easy to use integrated thumb keyboard that makes emailing on the go a breeze. While it is a bit larger than most full featured phones, it is still smaller than competing pocket PDA’s. The 650 model has a 320x320 pixel Tran reflective color display, Bluetooth with support for headsets, hot syncing, and file transfer. You can purchase an ROM update that adds support for DUN (dial up networking). The camera capabilities are greatly improved over previous models. MP3 users will be thrilled to know they can use stereo headphones with the purchase of an adapter.

The battery life is pretty good for a PDA. The Sprint unit runs about three days on a charge with light to moderate use and two days with frequent use. The battery is user replaceable. The Cingular version did not last quite as long and needed charging after two days. If you check email every 15 minutes, you should plug it in nightly. I think we have all been annoyed to “pocket dial” when carrying the phone around. The palm treo has a keyboard feature that will prevent this.

The palm treo smart phone runs Palm OS5.4.5 (Garnet) and comes with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 for Windows and Mac. You’ll also get Documents to Go7 for viewing Word and Excel documents and Power Point files. Also included are the Blazer 4.1 web browser, Versamail, messaging for MMS and SMS, eReader, Handmark Soliatire, Tetris, Zap!, and a free thrity day trial of Handmark Express. This is Palm One’s camera, camcorder, pictures, and video applications. In addition it is the only smart phone that uses non-volatile memory so your programs and data will survive even if the battery is completely drained.

You can purchase the palm treo smart phone directly for around $549.00 without a contract. The price is lower with a contract and the price varies with the carrier, but is typically $299-$399. If you want a lot of bang for your buck, this phone is one to consider.
