Rating  - Does NOT WORK with Vista 64bit
I have a Treo 650. I just bought a new laptop that came with Vista 64bit. Little did I know that NO PalmOne product is compatible with Vista 64bit and they (by the words of one of their customer reps today)are not working on a fix. Now I'm going to have to buy a new phone if I want to be able to sync. More and more new systems are shipping with Vista 64bit and many people are caught unaware of this fact. Please know if you buy this phone, it will not work with Vista 64bit as of the date of this review.
Rating - Cell phone
I've had this phone for a little over a year. Never got the promised rebate. It died. ATT refuses to fix it. Only solution is to buy a new one. Yeah right! It is a pitty but ALL US cell phone companies are the pond scum of American business. I've had a cell phone form the start of the technonlgy,1984, and ha ve had several carriers. All dishonest.
Rating  - Got a Lemon, but no problem exchanging it.
The first Treo sent to me had problems with the touch screen and buttons. I was told, it was just a lemon. Some Treos are. Amazon was great about axchanging it, at no cost to me.
Rating  - Disappointed
I've owned the Treo 650 for a better part of two years. The first six months was nothing but a struggle as the poorly designed PalmOS crashed repeatedly and "hard." As a person who has owned a Palm III and Palm V and loved both, it looks to me that the PalmOS is on its last legs, and is showing its age. Multitasking isn't available, and little things like receiving a text message while on the phone confuse the thing.
It tries to be a PDA, it tries to be a phone. It excels at neither.
This will be my last PalmOS device. There are better designs and more modern software out there on other platforms.
Jeff Hawkins' "Zen of Palm" is truly RIP with this device.
Rating - One of the best phones ever.
I recently recieved my TREO from Amazon a few days ago and like it but not love it as much as I would like to. First and foremost I took the "im extending my contract route" which is very much worth it considering that you preety much get the phone for penny's as apposed to going to an actual Cingular store and throwing $200-$300 dollars away, the only catch to this is that your stuck with Cingular for 2 years.So I receive my phone sooner than what was expected which was a plus and I had a few unanswered question in my head so (I HATE doing this) called Amazon customer service, and just as I suspected they were not as knowledgable as one would like them to be. Amazon then reffered me to Cingular customer service and they were probably worse!for a second I thought the lady I spoke to was mentally challenged, she didnt really give me straight answers and just kept agreeing with me. Anyhow I figured out what I had to do. One thing I did like was that it arrived before schedule which I was more than happy to receive. Changing from a regular phone to a PDA phone will take some time getting use to, I was use to using one hand, this phone is a bit bulkier than a regular phone so text messaging will deffinitely consist of using two hands. This phone is deffinitely worth getting if you like your phone to have alot of bells and whistles, I recently installed an NES/GB emulator in it and am loving it. This phone has everything you need for entertainment and is recommended especially for the price. One thing I am going to say that occasionaly it does soft reset,why? I dont know. It takes about 10 seconds to reset, I wish it wouldnt but other than that this could be the best phone arround.And lastly use third party programs/software at your own discretion! my buddy gave me a program called "ringo" (ringtone maker)for my Treo and I almost had a cardiac arrest when it wasnt accepting calls! after reading the manual I did a system reset and come to find out it was ringo that was causing the inconvenience. Ringo apparently doesnt work for the Cingular Treo 650 but does with my buddy's Sprint Treo 650. If anyone has questions/comments you are more than welcome to let me know.
