 GlobalMindDomino Dude, POWER Systems GuyPremium join:2001-10-29 Hollywood, FL | Very satisfied thus far.... I traded up from my Kyocera 6035 Smartphone to the Treo 600 a few weeks ago. Thus far I must say I am very pleased with the device.
My whole thing is I want/need a PDA and phone. However, I do not want two different devices to handle these functions. That is largely why I went with the Kyocera device at the time I did 3 or so yrs ago. The Treo 600 definitely fits that bill but with more gusto than the Kyocera.
I am on Sprint's network, and have managed to get a good deal on the service as part of my hardware upgrade. Thus far the web side of it has been great, no issues there.
As for general phone function, the keyboard is a nice change from graffiti for text entry especially riding in a car etc. I would agree with the comments on the camera function, but then again I didn't buy the phone for the camera. I have not yet tried Sprint's business connection package although I plan to, and also have yet to get an expansion card to load up some MP3s. A colleague of mine has done both, and has good things to say to that end.
I have also picked up CommonTime's mNotes to sync the Treo up to my Lotus Notes cal & address databases and am finding a renewed pleasure in keeping both my home and work calendars/addresses in sync (I use Notes at home as well). I don't sync mail, mostly because I don't feel I have much reason to do so with VPN access back to our network.
I did change carry cases for the phone away from the provided case, which had a tendency to depress the nav button since it is rather tight. Instead I picked up a BodyGlove case which allows the phone to sit sideways...which is my preferred method of carrying it.
So overall, a good experience thus far...and I don't expect to change anything.
