Palm Treo 650 - User Reviews

  • 100% agree with previous poster. My externally sadly battered 15 year 650 is *still my go to for *any PDA function, and the only reliable alarm in the house. Weeell, maybe the Nokia 311 is just as good there. The 'suits' certainly know how to destroy fine design. But WebOS is still so out there! Surely someone could steer it back to mobile/cell phones, so we could return to pure functionality and ease of use, instead of the current max-pizzazz and little else of real use?

  • Criminally underrated device. Works these days as a good PDA, but back in the day was perfect for business.

  • I've seen phones with better cameras and more internal memory at the time of this phone's release.

  • I have lost my sim tray in my palmone treo 650 model.shall I get it ?

  • I used treo650 for 11 years. Although it cannot be used for 3G network and things related to it in today's times but I really miss the ease of using the usual features such contacts , dialling, Tasks, spreadsheets and everything it has. The palm operating system and softwares were unique and more intelligently made than any of today's softwares which mainly focuses on multimedia aspects. The best feature it has is that you can take the system image and replace it if anything goes wrong with software just as we have in computers. Amazing it was. Nothing compares till date. Thanks

  • It was very good phone. But I need charger. i lose my charger

  • yup, its possible to access the internet. either use the built-in blazer web browser or use the opera mobile for palm. but you're going to have to use GPRS or EDGE (depending on your network) for data speeds as the Treo 650 doesn't have 3G or Wi-Fi capabilities.

  • for one, the 700w is a CDMA phone. meaning, unlike GSM models (like the phones we use), it doesn't use or need SIM cards. also, the frequencies it uses are for the US telco Verizon and because it's a Palm smartphone,(for some reason Palm has aversion for combining cellular and wi-fi connectivity even though the OS its using, windows mobile, easily supports both) it doesn't have built-in wi-fi. so, your 700w is no more than just an unconnected PDA rather than a smartphone.

  • Like

  • no, cament

  • i want palm pda phones worked in india or not i have all so one phone, modl is palm treo 700 w . but the phone is sim lees phone how apprathing i dont know pl help me

  • accessing internet on the palm 650,is it possible?

  • There is an eror in specs: Treo650 does support Java, just like any other PalmOS 5 device. Just install IBM Java VM for PalmOS.by the way, it's freeware and still not so hard to find.

  • Don't expect treo series can use wifi. only Palm PDA which can use wifi(or no wifi version pda add WIFI card)normally. Of couse use 2G online is ok

  • My question is does the treo 650 pick up WiFi?

  • hi l have treo 750 but l d'nt access to internet, Why?

  • hi........,there's a restart button at the back of your treo phone.,it's a pin hole point,it's just for you to insert a pin in it and it will automatically restart itself. THANKS

  • hi.........,try and hit on the centre point as much as it comes up. it will eventually takes you to the next set up stage. THANKS

  • i have treo 650 but i have not been able to access the full function that's on it. though its a very nice phone to have at hand

  • After 10 years, all I wanna say I'm still miss Treo 650, although it's size big, but it's a good smart pda phone at all. I'm so lucky that I own one brand new treo 650 boxset with brand new batteries which bougut in flea market 3 months ago.I'm so excited & now only keep in a screct place:) My last palm phone is veer, but I'm still love palm system,too bad that palm os not quite really support nowadays tech.

  • try searching your needs via Google.

  • I have had many good orders over the years from CellPhoneShop.Net for accessories and batteries! I misspoke earlier, saying .com but it's .NET. Very inexpensive and good, on-time shipping.

  • I've had this great-before-its-time phone for 5 yrs. I LOVE it! Its user-friendly, easy buttons for texting & a IM-style texting like no Other!, great instant calendar, memos, games, Documents, calculators great,applications, picture files (I only wish the camera had higher pixels), Video, recordable ringtones, great music capability, Physical buttons I love vs. stupid applications on all the new phones. It's sturdy & nearly Unbreakable & has tons of capacity! I have 2,000 txs on it I need to clean out (I use Documents to keep sentimental ones), tons of music storage files & ease, hundreds of pictures stored & 20 books on it! & much More!...the storage is unbelievable! The Ease is unmatched. I love the in & out sim card design, in and out Sd-card port, physical buttons AND applications of any whim. I hesitate to go to iPhone or other newer phones to deal with tedious program in & outs, & all u have to Learn to use it. I go in to church or a movie & with 1 touch, turn off the phone. It's an easy phone! I have 2 now, & am searching for more for the future. I worry the Service Providers won't handle it's service much longer, updating. Does anyone know more about this?

  • Hi, Not sure if you were able to unlock your Palm yet, but wanted to let you know that I was given a 650 a couple of weeks ago, that was locked. So I went to ebay, and found an unlock service for $2.47, which worked like a charm. Next thing I had to do was do a yahoo search for internet and mms settings, I was able to find them pretty quick, and now I have an unlocked Palm that I can surf the net with as well as send multi media with. all the ebay seller needed was imei # model and who it was locked to. Hope this helps,

  • i have a palm treo 650. it's lock i can't unlock it, and i can't receive and make calls. i try to activate the GSM systeme i can't.

  • Has anyone been able to get hotsync to work with Win7? I downloaded Palm OS 7.1 and cant get the O.S. to find hotsync so can't configure it.

  • Lexi, I had my treo 650 since 5+ years now and i have never had a phone this long. Its my back up phone to my new samsung B7610. I have graduated to many phones since then but this phone is still with me. It was way advance than the other phones then before. I love this phone. The only problems with the phone are that it reboots itself and i could not transfer directly the phone addresses to a new phone. Maybe there is a conversion from OS to Windows?? But i really dont care. For your protective screens why not just use another screen and just cut it into size. Overall, this phone is worth every single cent i paid for it back then.

  • my treo 650 rinrs and vibrate but i cant here any one need help

  • its too old i hate the touch screen its ugly big and there is no protective skins that you can find for ir

  • I am using a Palm treo 650 , but the signal is off, i am confuse because there is no one can handle it. they said the machine must change.

  • does anyone know if you can block incoming calls that do not have caller ID on the palm treo?

  • How can I transfer my phone book & calendar to the Nokia N900

  • the best phone i have ever used.. tried nokia, sony , samsung and everything... the most user friendly phone. the only problem is transferring phone book to another phone. very convenient to use.

  • Best phone in my life

  • excellent gadget i've ever had, im using this for daily activitiess, phone, work and fun

  • Great phone -Great applications! After 4 years or so, my Treo is finally telling it's age. The phone functionality turns off and on and random intervals. (it works but I never know when I'll miss a call. = / ) That said, this phone was extremely reliable for many years! Pros: *Great reception *Practically unlimited applications (if you can think of a functionality, I guarantee you that someone has made an app for it! I even over-clocked my phone for a time to 400mhz(stable).) *responsive touch screen (Prior to the iPhone, it was the best IMO) *One of the most configurable phones I've ever used. (nearly everything on the phone can be tweaked) *Great calendar! Cons: *Difficult learning curve for the OS. (the OS isn't the most user friendly) *Keyboard can be difficult to type with (you have to press the buttons fairly hard) *It Randomly Calls People. Be careful when carrying it around in your pocket! You never know when the phone might decide to call one of your friends! (my biggest complaint -Can be solved with a carry-case.) *Poor native file management. (this can be solved somewhat with FileZ or other similar apps)

  • I've been using this phone for three + years and still love everything about this phone. :) I even took my husbands and got him a Centro (which seemed to me like an updated 650 stripped of business features) so now I have two! :)

  • I've had my Treo 650 for over 2 yrs and before that, a Treo 300. I love them. Definately a data phone first-- data organizer, PDA, memos, etc... yet it doesn't slouch on games, camera, and Google Maps. I understand other versions of the Treo are good also, but not all use the Palm OS. There are over 7,000 free palm programs available (freepalmsoftware.com), yet I'm still moving to a 3G phone??? Why??? I'm not sure.

Windows mobile phone runs like computers.

  • Can you put mobile window on this phone?

  • How should I sent mp3 files via bluetooth?

  • I don't think that you can change the language unless you set up the phone from the beginning again. You can do that by doing a hard reset, see for more info on how to do each type of reset. Cheers.

  • I bought this phone in April 2006... I still have call records from the day I bought it... so I guess the answer is unlimited :-)

  • This is the best smartphone ever made. The batterylife is good, there are thousands of softwares available for this phone. It plays WMA files, downloadload e-mails, third party softwares to make up for the features. I've got the Treo 650 for 3 years and it's still working great.

  • Can somebody let me know how many call record this phone can hold means incoming and outgoing calls,thanks in advance for the help.

  • Please can somebody help me how can i change the language in this phone Palm treo 650, is there any way to change the language without downloading OS software becouse it isn't in english language, if yes Please can you show me step by step PLEASE? Thanks to every one.

  • so stupid. i rcv a call requesting for MMS/GPRS settings. after getting the subs number, i asked for his handyphone (treo 650, i've never heard the unit before so i thougth its not supported by any system, especially on our plug n play. i also thougth that there's no information when it comes to manual configuration, so i advise subs that he should go to a nearest buss center for his phone for the request of his configuraton. after that call i immediate look up for treo, that's when i figured i mispelled that treo to trio.. hahaha i suck!!! that subs probably going to complain me.

  • I need help. I have a treo 650 and everytime i go the versamail account it switches off. PLs advice what i need to do. Thank you. I also need to know how i can load kinoma application for the video sounds.

  • Excepcional equipment great job for this phone beautiful no complain

  • The Treo 650 is great hardly ever freezes and reboots. Mine is a GSM for Cingular/AT&T.

  • I used to have a treo 650 with Bell (cdma), used for for about 2 years and it was great, recently switched to Rogers (gsm) and got myself a blackberry curve. it works really well however I miss some of the features of the treo 650. I found a used one that I could get (unlocked). what should I do? I keep reading how the gsm treo 650 freezes and reboots often. i am a heavy user and cant afford to have glitches happening on a busy day.

  • well im using this phone for a long time.love it but still dont know how to set mp3 as ring tone.please let me know

  • The Palm Treo 650 is one of the best phone ever made. It has all the features of a decent phone and is very user friendly. My Treo 650 is kinda old and I've been using it for three years (imagine that?) I want to buy a new one but i think it is not available in the market today.

  • can we use this phone as modem for internet on pc. then, what is its performance.

  • i really love this phone.. makes you go back no more to nokia phones.. simply superb. =)

  • Great features but really lousy reception. I have checked & am in a very strong signal area. Feedback from Palm retailers is common problem. Suggested look at another phone, but I then have problem of transferring to Outlook, which fills me with dread. Any help Also tends to freeze up & need to reboot.

  • To Majid Ali: That is a limitation of SMS messaging, not of this particular phone. There is no way to increase the characters per message you can send; however if you type beyond the 160 char limit the Treo will automatically send multiple messages for you. To morgan Thanx for ure reply but what im trying to ask that how to let the phone type beyond 160th char limit and how treo will automatically send multiple messages bcoz after 160th word my treo 650 is unable to go further so please kindly help me to solve this problem I will be very thank for for the kindness

  • Hi treo friends. Well the treo phone is good. I need some few remedies. 1. The buttons on the first row seem not to work at all. I have even tried to hold hard the battery to see if its loose but no luck. 2. The problem of goes off periodically. 3. I need to install windows and excel software.Pls give me steps to follows. Otherwise i have no regrets about the phone. I will appreciate any solution highly. Thank you.

  • The treo is a great phone. I especially like the internet option. But the numbers on the first row all seem not to work. I have really tried to switch off the phone, remove the battery and even held the underside of the battery hard but no luck. If there is a solution, please advice me.

  • can i change palm 650 OS to windows OS

  • To Majid Ali: That is a limitation of SMS messaging, not of this particular phone. There is no way to increase the characters per message you can send; however if you type beyond the 160 char limit the Treo will automatically send multiple messages for you. I've had this phone for about a year now, and though it has locked up on me a few times, that is mostly due to two programs: Mundu IM (instant messenger) and TreoAlarm (alarm clock/weather app). Otherwise it seems to be fairly stable and a decent phone. I've been holding off on replacing it with an iPhone for two reasons: One, the iPhone as of February 2008 does not support Bluetooth DUN without a hack, and also because for some strange reason, AT&T converted my individual consumer account to a "small business" account when I upgraded to the Treo and I don't think they will activate an IPhone. If they do, it may be under a business rate and I'll end up paying more for the data plan than most people.

  • This in my opinion is a great phone. I've made several attempt to switch to a newer phone or other brands but I realize its very user friendly. The only concern are the T5 screw come missing if dropped several times oops!!!. This is type of phone you will have and your friends will say "man why do you have that old thing?"

  • i got this phone since 2005 and it work well. there're some difficulties: gprs blueetoth with XP, keypad freeze so you must push the restar button and the worst thing, it restarting itself. i tried many software, then finally i use the standard software to support my work. Push email is good (you must buy the sw versamail 3.5, treo 650 is using older version without push email). does anyone hve same experience that the phone restarting itself, the stability is under questions.

  • Hi all Message writing capacity on my Treo 650 is of only 160 characters after 160 characters im unable to write further i want to know that how to increase this capacity please help Regards Thanks in advance

  • excellent desing, features, performance

  • I gotta say the treo 650 is a kick-ass phone. theres a few things that I don't like about it but most of those things can be fixed with a third-party application, which is what makes the 650 such a cool phone, (all the downloadable aplications). all-in-all this phone rocks harder than any other out there.

  • Hi all Palm Treo 650 users please help I dont have hot sync cable so is this possible to transfer software on memory card and then install it from phone directly Thanks in advance Regards

  • For the below user....

  • Hi im a really confused 650 user. I want to put music onto my phone from my computer. I have the HotSync, and the memory card ready to go. But i have no idea where to go from there. I've tried to put music into the Quickinstall but nothing is compatible. What do i do? Please hepl me!!!

  • does ny one know what sit to go to for the ringo application let me thnx

  • its a great phone the picture quality is amazing (for a phone) night or day, the internet is very fast u wontregret buyin it

  • Hello =] I've considered buying the palmtreo 650 But some opinions put me off =/ These are the questions I need answered please =]: *wat is better, sidekick/hitop 2 or palmtreo 650? *wich internet is quicker from the sidekick/hiptop 2 or palmtreo 650? *wats the most memory this phone can hav with the memory card? *how much does ringo cost? *how do u download ringo? If anyone can answer ANY of these questions it will be muchly appreciated =] Please answer asap as I'm thinking of buying it soon =D God bless everyone.

  • Ye,s Ringo is the main application to assign MP3's as ring-tones the phones is unable to assign MP3 ring-tones without a special applications.

  • If Palm people would pull their heads out of their backsides they would make a mint by adding WiFI, A 3 Mp Camera and more internal memory, also upgrade screen to 262k colors. And STAY with the PALM OS instead of Windows Mobile. The Treo 650 is my favorite if they would add those things it would be the PERFECT phone. Guess Palm doesn't want to make a profit. Dipsh*ts!!

  • Hi, I'm just curious after reading some of the reviews about mp3's being set as ringtones. I am waiting for my 650 to come in the mail and one of the main reasons I bought it was because I thought I could assign personal mp3's to my calls. Do I need this Ringo application or is there another way? THank you very much to anyone who can help me out.

  • I use it as a bluetooth modem. Great for email etc.

  • My palm 650 is the best phone I've ever had. You can use mp3 as ringtone or assign them to your contacts if you have ringo. Basically it does everything if you know how to use it properly. It has no 3G and cant be used as modem though; Other than that perfect!

  • U can also record your own ringtone using the vioce recorder on the device.

  • Yes the Treo 650 is fully compatible with Windows Vista using the standard Palm Desktop Sofware. I have a Treo 650 Black Tie and I'm runing Windows Vista Buisness, works great!

  • i need to know if software Treo 650 is compatible with Windows Vista.

  • The camera is not 2 megapixel it is a VGA (0.3 megapixel), but it is the best looking VGA I've ever seen. This phone Rocks!!

  • I would appreciate if some one can post the wesite addresses, where i can find the software and some playable Good games for FREE..

  • camera is 2 mega pixel

  • Yes, you must perchase "Ringo" to use MP3 ringtones. You can assign ringtones(Polyphonic) to contacts without "Ringo" by placing them as one of your favorties in the phone application.

  • somethings wrong with the data, first of all, you cant use MP3 as a ringtone. 2nd of all you cant assign ring tones to contacts.

  • To answer the questions below: The Treo 650 is Class 10 EDGE (which is capable of up to ~384 kilobits/sec. I have only found ICQ/AOL/MSN & Yahoo for the Treo, but the nice part is that they are all within one program. See here: It's still one of the BEST phones out there considering the iPhone and Blackberry Curve are both only EDGE class 10 as well. Of course, the iPhone is major iCandy, but for functionality, I still use the hell out of my Treo 650.

  • Does the Treo 650 support MSN or Windows Live Messanger?

  • hi there,can i install skype or google talk or any messenger on treo 650.plz lemme knw.thanks

  • Correct me if I'm wrong but dosen't the Treo 650 have Class 10 EDGE like the Treo 680?

  • I don't know of any new Treo or Palm smartphone coming out. The Treo 650 Black Tie Edition rocks!!

  • hi.. was using palm for long time and hope for palm to realease new model or updgrade in term of form factor.. like the se P1.. any plan ??

  • I recently got my new Palm Treo 650 and I am quite impressed. Some probs though : While surfing the net, if you happen to get a call or press the menu button etc and later on return to surf again, (unlike Nokia)the last webpage is gone. I am once again directed to my home page. This is rather frustating. Nokia on the other hands keeps downloading the last page I was viewing and retains it. Is there a solution to this please !!!

  • The Treo 650 is the best Treo ever. has better battery than the 680, and better screen resolution than the 750. You can add Wi-Fi via the "Enfora Wi-Fi Sled for Treo� 650" it's avalible for $149, check it out.

  • the only problem with this phone is the screen resolution(bad). overall it is a very good smartphone.

  • Hello there - I need help? Can someone first help me get a manual for my treo 650? Second - every so often, the sound goes off on my phone? I don't know why? I can call out, but no can hear me, nor can I hear them? What am I doing wrong? Is it just a setting or something?

  • Performing a factory reset on a Treo 650: Launch the Security application. If the Password box says "Unassigned," tap the box and create a password for your smartphone. Once the password has been set, disconnect your smartphone from the AC charger and take off the battery cover. Do not remove the battery yet. Hold down Power/End. While holding down Power/End, remove the battery. Then insert it again. While still holding Power/End, the screen will show the palmOne or Palm logo and a progress bar. Then the circular Palm Powered logo will appear. Release the power button when you see the Palm Powered logo. Keep holding the Power button during this screen. When you see this screen, you can release the Power button. A message will appear warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on your smartphone. Press UP. You'll see a series of Palm logo screens, then a prompt to tap onscreen targets. The Factory Reset is complete.

  • hi can someone tell me why my treo shut off automatically and everytime i have to power on b4 use.

  • I have the Treo 650 for about 2 weeks now. I'm impressed with it. I first tried a SE P990i, but that wasn't really for me (too slow, no good mail client available, bad battery life). The Treo is a nice phone, with decent battery life, and the great PIM functionality we've come to expect from Palm. With some added software like SnapperMail (Chattermail is also nice it seems), Documents To Go, NVBackup and some others, you can get some work done and don't fear data loss (unless you lose your phone, so be sure to sync regularly).

  • Fantastic !!!!!

  • Im thinking about buying this phone... Does this have a radio? If not, can you like get a radio program? Cheers!

  • Hi can someone tell me how can i reset the phone to factory setting as i just bought the phone off ebay.

  • i love this phone i need one but i dont have any credit

  • Hi, To istall applications on the treo you need the CD that came with it, istall the software. On your desktop you should have a program called "QuickInstall" double click it and there on the left you have two fields: Istlall on internal memory; and Install on Extension Card; Drag and drop the desired applications in the corresponding field (you need an SD Card to use the Extension Card option) then just HotSynch the phone and you are done.

  • use hot sync to install ur applications

  • i'm using treo 650 for a week, and i've downloaded many applications for my treo 650. but i have no idea how to install it. could anybody help me? i used symbian phone such as nokia 3660 and nokia E50 before and it's easy to install all applications like (----.sis) or (---.jar), i only use card reader and it appeared in file manager, but how about treo 650???

  • The palm treo 650 is an awsome phone with many features. I just bought one and cant believe it had all the functions i needed and then some. Its very sleak buisness orientated and cool at the same time

  • Treo firmware no longer supports that WLAN card. Sorry buddy.

  • You need a program called Ringo to use mp3's as your ringtones.

  • Hey, I wanna Know how i can assign ringtones in my palm!!

  • Hi everyone, I'm from Vietnam and I've just bought a Palm Treo 650. It looks cool. I also bought a SDIO Wireless Lan card (Wlan 802.11b/g; SDW-821) but I don't know how to install this card to my Treo. Can anyone help me how to install this! Thanks alot.

  • Excellent features & user friendly. Wish had improved on the camera & ring tones. Apart from that no match on the turf at this price ! Stunning resolution.

  • its one of d best pda fon i ever had...no question about it

  • an important question:can we download flash player for watching of youtube videos and is it important version 7...

  • Just upgraded from Treo 600 to 650. The new one is miles ahead in every respect. The screen is an absolute stunner while all functionality has remained the same if not gotten better. I know the 680 has been released for some time now but when you read the specs comparing the 2 the only real difference is double the internal memory on the 680 and the fact it does not have the antenna sticking up. In Australia there is still over $400 difference between the 2 handsets so my thoughts are that the 650 makes so much more sense. At the end of the day I love my new 650!!!

  • the best smartphone/PDA phone I ever had. Good battery life, not buggy, good html browser, clear pictures even if not megapixel resolution, good video quality wc allows pausing between scenes. you can remove simcard and memcard anytime you want without hanging phone, very convenient mute switch, very crisp and clear display, easy to install applications. drawback: big antenna (wc was removed in the 680 model), typing symbols still confusing me. overall it's the best i've had. might trade my unit with the 680 though

  • The best smartphone ever! I love it! Bad: no WiFi/but with enfora-no problem :)/ no flash for the camera Good: everithing else :)

  • I just purchased the fone and I absolutly luv it. I also have a Blackberry which I use quite often.

  • I've been using my Treo 650 for almost 2 years already. It was the best PDA phone at the time I bought it (in my opinion). The strongest contender then were Nokia 9500/9300 and O2 mini. I chose Treo and was glad I did. I'm quite disappointed with new Treo 680 and 700 series. Other phones in the same class have definitely better hardware. :-( So there has always been a temptation to shift to better 2MP+, Wifi-enabled, big memory PDA smart phones. [My favorite so far is Apple's iPhone (check it out www.apple.com/iphone)] Anyway, my overall experience with Treo 650 is excellent. The easy-to-use PDA function of Treo plus the thousands of available applications to choose from are primary reasons why I still LOVE my phone. :-)

  • You can use 2 GB of memory card in Treo 650. Check out this forum:

  • You can produce Office documents using Documents to Go. In fact, you can create MS Word docs (.doc), MS Excel spreadsheets (.xls), MS Powerpoint presentation (.ppt), Text document (.txt). Aside from creating, you can obviously view and edit the foregoing files plus you can open PDF files, jpg, etc. For more info, visit

  • Hassan, you need a software to send mp3 files via bluetooth. You can use FileZ, a freeware downloadable from www.nosleep.net, or ZLauncher, a shareware downloadable from In FileZ, tap "View and Edit Files", then tap the files you want to send (can be any file---mp3, video, pics, apps), then tap "Send", Send with "Bluetooth". In ZLauncher, tap the menu, File Manager, tap the file you want to send, tap "Send", send with "Bluetooth". Good luck!

  • its cool an sober cell put i wana ask one qtn that how will we send any mp3 file via bluetooth please send me procedure my mail as soon as possible i will b thank full tou,cuz i am facing lots of probs his. bye GREETINGS

  • any firmware avail. for this phone? Any good website for the 3rd party programs? Experienced a lot of reseting while trying to pick up a call...Sometime it works sometime it does not...Bluetooth does not want to accept any files.. it says connection fail etc.

  • How do you send ringtones via bluetooth from a palm Treo 650 to another bluetooth enable phone

  • this phone would've been better if it had a better camera(probably with flash) & WIFI. it has all the good features of a pda phone except for this 2 things. relly hoping that palm would come up with a phone as great as this with wifi & better camera.

  • This phone/PDA has all the great features when the phone works correctly. We purchased a brand new unit in Oct. 2006, unlocked, and immediately we started having problems with the phone/pda reseting on its own or shutting off. We also ran into email problems prior to calling support. Support at Palm/Treo was called within two weeks of purchase...at least several times, each time them trying one type of reset or another type of reset. Nothing worked. The brand new phone was sent back in and replaced. Within 1 week of operating the replacement, we had similar problems, again called support and they reset they advised to reset the phone in a couple of ways. This happened another two times, and the final straw was the 1st week of Jan. 2007, the phone again started to reset on its own... while just sitting there, not being used, then the Bluetooth started to work funny. We tried another two cell devices to determine if the Bluetooth headset was working correctly and there were no issues with the other two brand of phones. What is disappointing the most is that I am not a huge time user of the phone or email. Probably 20 emails were sent successfully and maybe 200 minutes in total cell time in the two months of having the two Treo's. Support always want to do the same of two or three ways to reset and the problem still came back. It is a huge disppointment to spend the money for this PDA that has these consistent malfunctions. I also wonder why a Large Cell phone company in Canada no longer carries the GSM phone for sale? The support is superficial for those whom have used cell phones since inception. The questions they ask clearly make you wonder about the time and effort that went into engineering the Treo 650. In 18 years of having various cell phones/pda's... I have never experienced such a malfunction product with poor support to correct than the PalmOne Treo 650. Paul

  • a very good phone. battery life is great. bought a treo 680 but after 1 week of use with its very short battery span, sold it & got back to my black treo 650.

  • how much memory can hold? 2 gb perhaps?

  • what daa.... this is an old phone, how can all of you vote for it.... weird... a bunch of stoneage people

  • can the 650 be set up with an sdio (wlan) card? on several websites they claim it can... but i've heard wi-fi can only be used with the 700..

  • i am about to swap my p910i for the treo 650. I however love mp3s for ringtones,large memory,etc i love to write with the stylus..is the treo able to do these and isit better.

  • It can create, read, edit, and delete *.doc and *.xls files. wifi card is available, but treo 650 lacks driver to detect the card.

  • Does anybody knows how to Synchro Palm Treo 650 with Lotus Notes? Anu software? Thanks

  • hi, I have a question if we using PDA-phoe with windows as its OS, it has windows messenger. what about treo 650? does it have application for messenger? that supports msn messenger? thx

  • 1) No, I dun think it can produce Office documents, but it can edit them if u hv software like Documents ToGo. 2) This phone doesn't have WiFi, but a WiFi card is easily available. 3) In order to set MP3 as ringtone, u'll need 3rd party software. I'm currently using LightWAV Pro myself.

  • is this phone able to produce office documents?

  • Besides reading the office doc such as Excel, PPT and Word, you can also do editing with the Treo! As for pdf file, I'm not too sure. U can get more info from www.cnet.com

  • I know that it can support up to 2G SD card. Any further than that, maybe u can try it out & let me know :)

  • Does it support reading file format pdf,ppt, and doc? I do really want to buy treo 650, cause it's user friendly and it never loses data if the battery turns off. But I don't know specific disadvantages. I really appreciate if you give me more information about this product. Thx a lot :)

  • hey does it accept 2gb card? what is the max limit of memory card that it accepts

  • Please does anybody know how I can convert my MP3 files into ring tones? Any help will be appreciated. I am using Treo 650

  • does the 650 have wifi?

  • hi guys. i really look forward to buying this . but meanwhile i still love my 650 so much. i just found out that a software called SOFTICK BLUETOOTH GATEWAY which support bluetooth wireless music (A2DP) on my 650 from softick.com . and you guys can find more software from that site, such as one software called card export can use the memory card as a mass usb drive when connected using usb cable. and many other very useful software using bluetooth technology from treo650. i am gonna try out these software and buy a bluetooth sony stereo headset for wireless music. in case of fm radio and tv tuner on treo 650 you guys can buy some SDIO fm radio or tv tuner card ,have a look at this but make sure its compatible with your handheld.enjoy guys!

  • The 700v is going to be mine !! I cant wait to get my hands on an unlocked one. Merry Christmas to me !! lol

  • the new palm treo 750v is out...its exclusively from vodafone but i think thats gonna change with time...theres no antenna...and its on a windows platform..it looks pretty cool to me.. the specs are pretty good but i wish they'd put more internal memory..its got a mini sd slot for a change..follow the thread and drop in ur own two cents..http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?new­sID=12461

  • you need 3party app to use mp3 as ringtone. find all answers at

  • Hi. I see in Australia now the treo 650 has blackberry capabilities. has anyone used this yet? and how is it?

  • Hi All, Heard frm a fren tht palm has launched a new model in US - Treo 700w in the US and will be launching a similar model in Singapore soon. Heard thts its cool n most functions are accessable with much shorter steps... Any idea what model or any specification avail ??

  • Good phone but i also don't know how to put mp3 song to my ringtones.Can somebody help me?

  • I've read most of the comment here, and i think most of friends here didn't know what is the true capability of the Treo. They didn't know what phone they truly need. If you have Treo, it means that you're already have an allround mobile phone. it's true that there're pro's and cons ( didn't all mobile phone did?). I have Treo 650 and it never let me down. If you want megapixel, buy a camera, if you want wifi, buy a true PDA, if you had bad reception, blame your provider, and if you want everything, buy a computer store...;-)

  • Is there anybody that can help me with synchronisation to a laptop? It runs and syncs everything except Calender with Outlook. I have changed the settings to include this and set it to default, but it changes the setting by itself.

  • Anyone knows if there is other ways to get wifi connection for this phone than the big wifi sled?

  • Bugginess of the operating sytem?? In my opinion (which is only my opinion), it is more stable than your Windows Mobile devices :-) I absolutely LOVE my Treo 650 :-) Can't wait for the Treo 750!!!!!

  • What could be a stellar product is tragically flawed by the bugginess of the operating system.

  • Great phone, after having used Sony Ericcson's P500, this is definately an upgrade. One little frustartion is the inability to sms Address Book items, i.e. you have to copy/paste the number from your address book to your message screen. But apart from that this phone is a winner.

  • There is coming a New PalmOs Phone. It will not have an antenna, and will be a smaller and thinner smartphone. It is going to have 3g features to. It will have a unusuall low price ;)

  • needs a fm transmiter in it so u can play mp3s on your radio with no cords! otherwise its mint.

  • If they take away the stupid antenna, it will be the coolest PDA/Phone ever.

  • i have a query, whether it is possible to sync the phone with the pc via bluetooth. also whether i can synchronise the email on the pc and the phone during the synchronisation process? kindly advice

  • ok tHe camera is missing 1000000 of pixels also missing dual bassie stereo speakers 3.5 mmjack input + 2.5 mm jack input add transflash + minisd + sd + si sim ports 256 m couleurs 10h gsm batterie lifetime 4 wifi leave edge to ....a

  • we can now go along with our office documents.treo 650 is the best palm i have ever seen.

  • this phone is one hell of a toy for the bigboys.....hey ! "eyin temi..my people make una try am out" it doing the job.i'll recommend it

  • I was thinking of getting the 650 but will it work with my vodafone blackberry sim and will I get my emails instantly or have to call up to download them like other phones?

  • hi! im planning to get a treo 650. just want to know it it has a buit in wifi connection? thanks!

  • I had the Treo 650 with verizon and i loved it because its windows based but it got poor reception i had to walk out in the driveway to get one bar but since i swiched to cingular i had to get the 650 and honesly i like it better and i get atleast 4 bars at all times..so its not the phone its the carrier u got..

  • I just want to know how can i put a mp3 ringtone in my treo 650, i allready have mp3 in my phone but i can't send it to my tones so i can't hear when my phone ring.Sorry about my english.

  • I've had the Treo 650 for almost 2 years now. Great PDA and long battery life. Was not a great as a phone since my ear kept hitting the reset key until I bought the Plantronics Discovery 640 Bluetooth Headset. Great accessory and now I can place and receive calls without any problem.

  • great phone with great features and functions. however, there are three weak points: poor reception, (not working) speakerphone, and the camera (only 30K). being a pda phone for business persons, poor reception is just unacceptable.

  • u can use bluebooth connection to connect to your home computer, making your PC work like a wireless router and creating a wireless network, to get online.

  • it holds days of call records (over 80 call-logs).

  • Hey does anyone know how many Call records this phone holds? Like Received calls, dialed calls, missed called? I know most phones hold up to around 10 but I need a lot of call records for business and stuff. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • excellent pda phone. it has the best office application (excel,word etc)display and tools features.battery life is absolutely acceptable (minimum 2 days).the draw back its not very solid on network as compared to nokia and goes for the boot but i guess that a protection mode. but otherwise as far as pda phone is concerened all the others like p910i, nikia comunicator etc looks like toys in front of treo 650. i would strongly recommend to anyone who uses office application and tasks feature and who doesnt travel much outside the town .

  • You need to buy sdio Wireless lan to conect to home network its eazy.

  • the only option to pay for the internet connection through my cellular phone company try nokia E61

  • i have a question: i have a wifi home network only. If i were to buy this phone how do i access the internet. Is the only option to pay for the internet connection through my cellular phone company?

  • I have treo 650 handset it is very good but now a days observed frequently goes in to hangup and i have reset often. (photo quality is good)

  • can anyone help me set-up my treo 650 for t-mobile internet? thank you very much!

  • [Below] My hotsync takes at most a 1 minute. So I dunno. [Something else] Anyone know how to unlock the wifi drivers to use the 700w wifi card on the 650? I know there was an earlier version but the newer 650s have an updated firmware so it is said that the hack doesn't work anymore. I don't like the big wifi sled that can be attached. I'd rather not make the phone any bigger than it is...

  • i have a question, the Hotsync for tro650, is it true took so long time? i spent for around 5~10 minutes for each time of hotsync. the item i syncronize is calender, contact, document to go and INBOX to go.. the inbox to go tooks the most longest time. any solution?

  • all phones use 160 characters in SMS and the confirmation is only for MMS, this is because MMS are send over internet, this is for all kind of phones. If you already have the treo 650 i'll not recomend the "update" for any treo 700.

  • I try with Treo 650 to find confirmation for the sms message but is not possible .It exist only for MMS. Another bad thing in treo 650 it is that sms are only with 160 characters. So, for this reason I want to change Treo 650 with Ttreo 700. It exist Treo 700w (windows mobile 5) and Treo 700p same operativ system like Treo 650. Can any of you help me in which of thees 2 models have sms confirmation & also sms with more then 160 character in one sms. Thank you very much Regards

  • Is there an alarm clock application for the treo?

  • Does Treo 650 can syncronize the data such as Active sync? i beieve for sync of contact, email is not a problem, what i means is the document like excel, words data. in Pocket pc, it can be updated automatically for all the data which stored in a special folder, this treo650 is same? Thanks

  • I would like to inquire if is the possible to create a message using stylus in Treo 650. If yes, how can I configure my unit? Kindy advise.

  • Hi guys, I just need to know something. I would really appreciate if someone answer my question. Does palm treo 650 has touch screen keys ? I saw it on specs but I just want to make sure. One more thing. Have anyone ever tried Enfora Wi-Fi Sled for palm treo 650 which enables wifi for the phone ? If someone already has, may I know how is that ? Thanks alot.

  • Fantastic Phone. I am only tired to find out many things in the manual.Can somebody tell me : How can I transfer my phone book from my old mobile to the shared memory of my Treo 650 using Infra Red.

  • If you want your Treo 650 looks like a WIN2000, you need to purchase a third party product Win Launcher (high res)

  • I've bought a Palm Treo 650 on 16/03/2006.On 02/04/2006 i've my first problem with the screen e.g. if you touch contacts,it will open the calender(not even 24 days after i've bought it.Gave it in on 03/04/2006.

  • Just owned treo 650 few days ago. a great phone packed with features and stability. many good and free software from mytreo.net. too bad, it doesn't have wifi or driver for wifi card. i'm dying to see some people or palmone make patch for this essential feature.

  • Does the treo 650 have 1. Voice recording 2. Voice dialing

  • wot i did to get my treo to play mp3 was to just drag the files from my itunes library to my SD card an insert it back to the 650 works like a charm..now i'm wonderin..is there any where i can get any free software for treo650? thanx

  • Yes Sam, you can edit these files.

  • pls can someone tell me how to get msn on my phone for free.n trust me treo 650 is one of d best phones u cn ever get 2 use.

  • You have to install music through the Palm Quick Install software, or the real player desktop software. The music has to be written in the a format that the mobile real player can read and just transferring it to the memory card does not allow for this.

  • can anyone tell me how can i install mp3 files to my treo 650? coz ive tried to load some mp3 songs thru my mmc but when i install it to my phone it cannot be read..

  • Everything works perfect on my Treo except that it does not recognize my SD card. I am sure hardware (machine and card) are ok. Anyone with same problem? Only 3rd party software I have on it is Citytime and eReader but these all worked on my Tungsten E and the Tungsten recognize the same SD card. Palm support can't help.

  • Does anyone know how to set up e-mail for ntl on treo 650? I have got it to receive e-mails but it will not send - any ideas.

  • Hello Fellow Palm Treo Users, The Palm Treo 700w (UNLOCKED & GSM) is currently available for PRE-sale on eBay.com The units are scheduled to ship by May 1, 2006. I went ahead and ordered one myself. I hope it is everything that I have been waiting for.

  • JJ, Thanks.... also can we read and edit power point presentations. Also can I sink my outlook with the Treo 650

  • Yes, the treo can read/write/change word and excel documents. I've only tried Office 2003, but i expect other version work too. (Btw, the app is included with the Palm, but it doesn't have all the advanced features such as the spellchecker) Backlight, mine is even.... guess your's might be faulty? Just my 2c... JJ

  • Hi can someone let me know If I can "open and edit" ms word / ms exel and / ms power point attachments on the Treo 650.

  • to all users and experts: Im not sure if this is normal but I bought a bnew treo650 yesterday and I notice that the keyboard lights are uneven. Left half of the spacebar key is barely lit, half is lit half is not. can anyone confirm if this is normal, or do I have to return my unit for replacement. Thanks in advance Reply With Quote

  • if there is somebody experiencing that the volume is to low go and boy the program VolumeCare it will increase the 250% of the volume. I love my treo 650 they made a very stable update to this phone.

  • I have this phone/PDA hybrid and I just love it. It has great camera, expandibility and lots of staff to do all my official and business work. I browse, check e-mail, listen to music, shoot home video with it. I just upgrade the phone OS ver. to 1.2 from Palm and it just got better with Documents to Go 8.0. It is great !!!

  • let me ask you guys somethin is it me or does the treo 650 freeze alot. i juss got it and this phone sucks. no wifi camera sucks. i traded it for the cingular 8125. now thats a phone.

  • I bought this phone when it first came out and I sold the phone because it has to many problems I decided to buy it again and I am more than happy that palm fix all the problems the best pda out there.

  • just bought the unit....so far, i find it outstanding...i wish to maximize the use of the "documents to go" feature..does anyone of u know how to sync word and xfile from treo 650 to laptop (and vice-versa)?

  • I have owned the Treo 650 for over 4 months now and minus the random (and I do mean random) reboots, I love this phone. The memo's, texting, Real Player, Reception are all fantastic. I dropped the phone one time too many and have cracked the exterior, and yet the phone still has exceptional reception and sound. As well the camera and video for the size of phone are fantastic. Out of 5 Stars I would give it a 4.5 and highly recomend it for someone who is looking for a phone to work as a phone with a large number of additional features to make business smooth and easy.

  • sorry, i meant that the phone restarts itself when the chat function is on. when its off it doesnt.. thanks

  • hi all, i just bought the phone.. everything is great for the first week or so. but for the past few days, alot of problems start to surface. im hoping that anyone of u here can help me with the problem i am facing.. thanks firstly, the phone restarts itself whenever i try to change the preference in real player lastly, the phone restarts itself whenever i try to reply a message with the chat function off.. i realise that if the chat function is off i can reply sms as usual. any advices? thanks

  • Can i get wifi for the treo 650? how?

  • This phone really rocks, I used to have Motorola phones like V60, V300, V600, V3. I wasn't looking for other brands at all, but some day my V3 got stolen and my provider offered me a Treo 650, I accepted the deal... now, I'm in love with this toy, can't stop playing with it (there are tools for almost every thing out ther on the net), I'm sure you will love it too. Visit treonauts.com or palmgear.com for software tools and hardware stuff.

  • Anyone knows whether SMS messages and call history in Treo 270 (Palm OS v.3.5 2H5.6) completely transferred to Treo 650 or Treo 700w?

  • Anyone know of a site where i can download software and learn about other little tweaks for my treo 650 ? Thanks

  • The treo 650 is so far the best business tool that i have used so far. No phone is flawless, but in my opinion this phone rocks! Someone recently asked about wifi- look on the palm store website-there is a sd card that will do the trick, there is pocket tunes that I use that works great syncing up with windows media player for your music. I have used for every thing & it hasnt let me down yet! ;-)

  • Hey, I never had a phone like this before. Always use a flip motorola phone or samsung. Will i like this phone? Can you hook up wi-fi to this phone? If so, how? Thanks in advance

  • best phone out rite now the 700 as nuthin on it

  • I'm really, seriously, thinking of buying a palm one 650. Can anybody from SA advise me on this choice. Please. E mail Sylvester - [email protected]

  • Had the Treo for two months and had to return it 4 times already. No one can hear my calls, or my voice cuts in and out. Orange say this is due to the network/location where I am calling from but no matter where I call from, or receive calls from, my voice cuts in and out. rubbish phone. shame because it is great otherwise, has everything I need... but I need a phone, and this is ending up being a fancy filofax.

  • I bought the Treo 650 from an eBay seller just recently at a reasonable price I might add and, it was boxed sealed as new. A brilliant piece of engineering, which can accommodate virtually anything you want to do. I've been listening to stereo MP3 files with a switchable caller line today and the quality matches my home hi-fi surround sound system. A few hiccups at first but once set-up correctly, it's superb. You also get 60 days free tech support after registering your 'phone. The ultimate Smartphone on the market today!

  • does anyone know where i can download the installation software for windows for this phone, so i can syn it with my laptop

  • I think the cost for this phone is too high, $600 for no Wi-Fi and no 3g, besides the camera, that is VGA..... At least they have to low the price to 350-400... thats my opinion.

  • I think the Treo 650 is a great phone for one who loves to tinker with gadgets. I am constantly tinkering with Beyond Contacts to keep my calendar in synch with Outlook 2003. I can't talk on the phone without using a headset. Now I am wanting to tinker with the ringtones. ...keeps me busy!

  • treo 700 has nufin on this great phone

  • very very costly. Not worth the cost.

  • it fulfilled 80% of my expectations as the ideal pda-phone, with the remaining 20% attributed to no wi-fi, no 3g and no megapixel camera.

  • people the new treo 700w is out just cheak ut this site

  • I don't get the good thing of this gadget ... I think is same as others smart phone like (nokia, o2 and sony ericson) give 3 reason why this gadget is good then the other ???

  • Dear Friends, Recently i have bought Palm Treo 650 and among all the mobiles i have used like nokia,02,samsung i found it to be the best.I need to download Windows Media Player for this mobile but i don't know how to ,I tried but didn't succeed.Please help me out.

  • Hi all...Treo 650 is an awsome phone but it takes time to learn all the features and get used to the the os. Once you start learning all the capabilities of the 650, i am sure u will be glad that u own one..it's worth every single cent..i was forced to get the 650 after my 600 got stolen.... If you r new to 650, there is a lot of site where you can check and learn more about it. you can go to www.treocentral.com , www.mytreo.net , www.howardofrums.com . There is also great third party applications and sofware avail for this phone...So if u r many of those comp illitirate and not so familliar with computers, then i dont suggest u getting one. Get a nokia 1100 instead.

  • Ups: User friendly, good phone reception, quick and error free hot sync, camera and pic quality few notches up from 600. Downs: Sudden re-boots, less than stated battery life, complicated blue tooth settings, hissing noise while on speaker phone, call drops, versa mail having probelms in reading Adobe attachments, address book cannot be organized by first and last name etc. Despite all of these issues i still think its a good value for money!

  • hi Guys I got this fone second hand a few days ago. How can i use mp3 files as ringtones? Pls email me the sol - [email protected]

  • The treo isn`t with wi-fi sloppy because all new pda and mda are with wi-fi it`s almost not done without!Then again i like the design all functions are direct accesable,nice!

  • Hello Fellow Mobile Colleagues, Generally the Palm Treo 650 is an amazing device. So far, there is only one issue I have found that the phone is laking in. It is related to the phones alert features. Specifically, when you are away from the phone. If I receive a text message, a call, or a voice-mail, on my current phone while I am away from it, I will be notified by the led light flashing in a different colour and by the phone beeping. The led light will continue to flash and the phone will continue to beep, until I have cleared the missed call, missed text message, or mixed voice-mail. The Palm Treo 650 will not do this. If you are away from you phone and a text message, call, or voice-mail is received during that time, you will not be notified of it. The phone will not alert you that you missed something. The only way to see if you have missed something, is to turn the screen of the phone on. That gets very annoying. You will find yourself turning the screen on quite frequently, just to see if you missed something. If anyone has a solution for this issue, please feel free to e-mail me. Thanks -Telly

  • can someone tell me hoe to pass the photos from my treo to the pc cuase i have no idea how to to thse with the cables via hot sync

  • paul stewart, i'm afraid your carrier (virgin) only has the settings for your phone's browser & email setups. but u can also try to google it, like punching in 'treo 650 settings virgin' & see what comes up. i did my other pda phone this way. good luck

  • Hello! to everyone, Please i am a student and am soo crazy about this Treo 650. I really want to buy it, but when i tried it out, it was a bit complicated for me to use because it was my first time using a Treo 650. I really like the way the Treo looks and the way it works. I tried the one i wanted to buy, the battery was very low soo when ever i switch the phone on to charge the battery, it say that battery very low is shutting down in 25 seconds. I was a bit irritated about this issue, but apart from that everything works well i guess and the one i want to buy is a GSM version which is made in Taiwan and i hope it is a very good model type like the ones available in the market today. I think the problem is from the battery and may be if the battery is fully charged, the phone will be okay. I am a student and the reason why i want the Treo 650 is that it might be of good help to me in future with my studies(like presentation,email and research) and on the other hand i don't know whether it is only made for business people who want to check their emails, task and browsing on the move!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE AND ONLY PLEASE, I really need all your advices and help whether to buy this phone or not and i don't want to make any mistakes or take any chances and end up regretting!!!!! THANKS A LOT!!!!! PLEASE email me @:[email protected] PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP!!!!! CHEERS!!!!!!!!

  • wanted to know if anybody had any cracks, registratin codes or anything like that for programs such as ringo and voicedial. help would be appreciated. thanks!!

  • purchase the tero 650 3 months ago as my work phone. I am really happy that i pick this phone. the functions are great and i don't need to take my pda to work as well. It sync nicely with my outlook at work. May need rebooting now and again. but what the hell. so does most pc.

  • Love - The CDMA (Dual band) is blue and does not use a SIM card.

  • Q: is there any way I could know whether the Treo I have is the GSM World Phone Quadband or just the Dual band? Help..

  • really a great phone. Not easy to use at first.

  • Is there any software where the standard look up can be by Company name rarher than a persons name. I store my records by company as many of the people in each co change but the co details stay the same. This is a standard on Palm PDA's why not on the phone.

  • Can anyone tell me whether i can record phone conversation with this phone. I intend to buy one.

  • Can anyone plz tell me what PIM functionality means...and does Treo 650 posses office applications alongwith some decent organizer/scheduler software?

  • sup can somebody email me the activation code for ringo for palm 600 and if someone has got pocket tunes can someone please give me the code thanks alot if you could email me instead if you have no choise you can post it back here. again thanks my email is [email protected] Tony

  • Damn! It is superb the functions are amazing please go for it.

  • it freezes a lot!!!!!!great features thou!!!!bad phone good palm

  • Don't have one yet. Baught as a Xmas gift for son just got a qiuck look, but seems like a good PDA/Phone. This looks like a good site for Treo lovers.

  • palmOne Treo, is a true invention of technology, i must confess that this phone worth having. GO FOR Treo 650 it's being paid for if you have to use a GSM phone.

  • sorry about the stupid question, but i realy have no ideea if i can connect a usb flash drive to the palm treo through a usb cable or something... is it possible?

  • its the best fone i ever purchased. used 2 have my doubts . but once i got my hands on it all doubys were gone.recopmend it 2 any fone freak.

  • I agree, it think the treo 650 is the best phone i ever purchased. Wonderful features and a great gagdet.

  • I can't understand why some people think the antenna on the 650 put them off. The phone looks great as a package and the antenna is an integral part of a muscular device. If you want a girly phone look elsewhere or you may try the Blackberry which for me just looks so stupid I will feel ashamed if a friend holds a Blackberry standing near me. Yes, it has no antenna but would you want one? not for me. NO WAY! long live Treo.

  • hey guys, i just have a question... is it possible to use the wi-fi card with this phone? thanx, george

  • I am looking at the treo 650. I was wondering if anyone has had any troubles with it on the verizon network? If so, what other PDA-phone would you recomend? You can e-mail me at [email protected].

  • hi every body i use to be able to play an mp3 and record a video at the same time with the palmone treo 600 how abote the 650 ?

  • Guys, please, its not Treo 670 anymore, already have officially name as Treo700W and will launch maybe arround 6 month in advance (I read in T3 magazine). Big W means it windows. I am not read all spec, but waiting for at least have 3G connectivity, WLAN, and 5 Band EDGE, coz now everybody start invest in 450 Mhz new GSM frequency for rural area like in small village.

  • the design of treo 670 is final?? just asking!!! why can't they remove the antenna and have a much higher resolution of camera like 2M pixel.. By just looking at the comments on Treo 650 i think it is a decent pda i hope Treo 670 will be better.

  • Has anyone tried the Volume Care Program?

  • I need configuration of the mms e wap

  • I am keen on this PDA phone but need additional info. Can this be used with a wifi card? Any help out there appreciated.

  • I tried the treoguard which is nice but now Im trying this Ringo Pro that lets u use mp3 ringtones. The difference is that u can customize all and what ever contacts u have with their own ringtone. So far so good with ringo pro............

  • I love its a great phone pda. Its a best buy. Can anybody send me this treoguard software? my e mail is [email protected]

  • Very nice! i think it is worth spending money. i can't wait until treo comes out 700 model.. Thanks

  • Is It compatible with MAC OSX??

  • I believe there is some software which allows you to have more control over the mp3, ringtones etc. By the way, I got a sony adaptor to go from cellular miniplug to standard plug to use standard headsets with the Treo....!!!! double cool...the best phone I have had ever!

  • Cool thats what i ended up doing to erase all contacts.......now it's time to figure out how to use mp3's as a ringtone........so treoguard is the way to go?

  • TO erase all your contacts in your treo, the easiest way i can think of is to do a hard reset. Although it will erase all your messeges and settings, so hot sync you phone first b4 doing anything. Instructions on how to do hard reset can be found in the palm website. Finding information or asking questions about ur phone will probably be best to look at www.howardforums.com. Answer to the ques of making ur mp3 song as ur ringtone, the best software i found was treoguard.

  • anybody know how to loading the GPS navigation to the plam 650 ? thanks

  • Does anyone know how to remove all contacts at one time from the phone?

  • i need help how do i assign my mp3 music as ringtones for my plamone treo 650???? [email protected] or [email protected] if any of you haev the info just send me an email.

  • I purchased the Treo 650 on eBay. The model which arrived was an unlocked Cingular. I inserted my sim card and think it a great phone and PDA, being someone who is used to the Palm software. However, I do not know how to make use of the internet browsing function or the email function My mobile phone contract is with Virgin (pay as you go) but I have received no sensible reply from them which addresses the issue. Can anyone assist please? Oh, for good measure, I should mention that I am an Apple user.

  • The treo 650 is the best pda phone ever use

  • S.O.S. My new unlocked Orange Treo 650 is perfect except for one thing: it cannot read MP3 music files from my MMC/SD cards. It does read the Orange try card's video clip with no problem so it is not an issue with the audio set up. Can anyone help?

  • can anybody tell me where can i buy the hot sunc unit of treo650 and at what price needs asap. thanks

  • Simply the best phones A+++++++++++++++++++++++++ Very happy

  • DO NOT GO NEAR THIS DEVICE or Cingular Wireless. In the past 6 months I have had three TREO 650's none of them have worked. The Phone sonund quality is extremely poor, they rest themselves all the time, and the buttons freeze up. I tired to report it to Cingular wireless they Blamed Palm, Palm blames Cingular. Mean while I'm stuck with a $400 Phone that is worth less and two companies that don't care.

  • I bought an unlocked Treo 650 as soon as I saw one - upgrading from a treo 270. It was perfectly reliable but after anout 7 months of trouble free use it was stolen, O2 my phone company no longer sell the treo and would only send a Sony 910i as "eqivalent". The Sony is poor in comparison, particularly as a phone :-) with an uneccesarily flash but unintuitive interface. I am going to buy another treo 650 - can't give a higher recomendation than that.

  • I have had this phone for about now 10 months.. Only one word can describe is AWESOME. So many features like Video player.. with TCPMP software.. MP3 player.. and Bluetooth.. and SD card reader.. ( i got 2GB card):). The screen quality is grate. -Hiren

  • I guess the resets are due to older firmware. Mine works like a charm. Tons of apps, games, utils etc widely available, and very large user base and helpful community on the web. My two nags are not being able to assign ringtones without 3rd party app, and no SMS delivery reports. I suggest TAKEphONE and LauncherX apps for an even better user interface. PalmOS may be old, but works fast and is easy to use.

  • Hi, I bought the treo 650 two months back.. I like it's just a little heavy.. But compaired to other alike phones i believe it's the best

  • Once you use this Treo,u feel nokia as crap.Awesome pda

  • To the person who wants to know how to change the language- go to penreader.com & download PiLoc. This app allows you to change the language on the Treo, I currently have mine in Russian.

  • Hi Everyone, This is the best phone/ mini computer combination the world has seen yet (Aug 2005) I got mine last June, still I am crazy about this beauty. For the best experience with specially a Treo like mini computers these are the basics guys. Right away out of the box I know we are so eager to play with it but plz DO NOT do any fancy things at first. Do not install any additional software (be wowed you have at least 10000 software title at your disposal and growing for Treo)or sync it with the Palm desktop software right away. Just USE it as any other standalone ORDINARY PHONE for couplla days. Make calls, take calls, browse the net if possible, add, delete, cut a few contacts, memos, tasks whatever you please but all with the software comes pre-installed. Do not transfer your old PIM data either if you had had another old Palm. Live with your SIM contacts for couplla days. Don't get me wrong on this. This is the best phone/ mini computer in the world and treat it like one. Above is the proven best way to eliminate the phones which has come with manufacture defects or any other software conflicts if you get any. When you are absolutely sure that your new Treo phone is working like a phone only you start adding stuff and sync with the desktop. Get and install the latest firmware (1.28 at least). And stick with your most comfortable settings. Get a at least 1GB SD card so this can be a movie machine. Get TCPMP Player here (http://mytreo.net/downloads/details-651.html?Th­e_Core_Pocket_Media_Player) and This is the only phone I know which can play below all. Be wowed again. Current support includes ISO MPEG-4 (DivX and XviD), H.263, MS-MPEG4-v3, MP3, Matroska container, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG-1, MJPEG, ADPCM, ALaw, MuLaw, AAC, Musepack, GSM AMR audio, AC3, MPEG1/2, MPEG4 with GMC/QPEL), MPEG4-v1/v2/v3, Sorenson 3, AVC (aka h.264), etc DO NOT put unknown alien software to your working Treo even later. Go here, , register yourself and gett a Treo Simulator for your model. Try unknown software with it first on the computer. Read There are tons of info for your Treo. And believe me, I have played with it, have tried a thousand of apps and my darling works like a charm. This is the best phone world has seen yet unless the little clunky big part. So you couldn't possibly go wrong if you buy one. So happy Treoing everyone.... R Chan

  • I find little bulky but meets the requirement of profile, what's the price and the availability of the product in India

  • i have one. someone can tell me, how i can change the language? thanks.

  • Wow! This phone is great in concept and horrid in execution...I've had two and both had full share of issues already noted in blogs in 2005...soft-boots, hard-boots, lost data (requiring resyncing to desktop or laptop, which means forget traveling without your laptop for more than a day or two because it will surely crash!), camera that didn't work...I undertsand these issues are not part of Verizon Treo 650, but cingular offers international use, a must for me)...IF PalmOne could stabilize this device and eliminate the need to re-boot/re-synce every few days, then they would have a true winner! One note Palm...I've been told by more than one of your reps that there was a compatibility issue with Cingular/AT&T network...Why did you EVER bring this phone out without resolving that first?! The market prestige you will lose will offset the profits you are making in the long-run! Poor decision!!! Also note Palm, please allow users to have total control over menus in phone and main screen...speed-dial needs to accomodate more than one contact per letter as well... In summary, I gave it two trys with two different 650s and I've had enough headaches! I'm going elsewhere after years of using Palm PDAs! Hope the "670" (or whatever replaces the 650) is completely tested (successfully) before bringing out to market!!!!! May come back some day...You'll have to earn it though!

  • Hey Jon believ me & but the nokia 6680. Its a great fone with a good camera. video recording upto 60 minutes. Loads of applications can be downloaded from the net. Its a 3G fone. Its a bargain.. Just close your eyes & buy it. I am using it for the last 2 monts & I am loving it. Ace INDIA

  • I waited and bought the TREO 650 for its bluetooth capability over the TREO 600 and its ability to work with ACT! Contact Management Database software. It does not work well with ACT!. Should I go back and downgrade to a TREO 600 and do without bluetooth?. I've heard the Blackberry's don't work well with ACT. I have 3,500 contacts that I would like to have on my TREO 650 or something similar. Your expert thoughts appreciated.

  • please click this link for the Treo 670:

  • i've already tried this fone and it lasted for only 6 days cause i'm not satisfied. Just wait for Palm 670...soon!

Which operating system is good.(palm;window for mobiles or symbian?)Which phone should I buy? I want to use office software, internet and fax on mobile phone? thanks in advance IRISH from India

  • My friend has this phone and it is huge. It is funny u could see his jeans coming down from one side because of the weight of this brick. Still it hs many features but normal people really dont need this. It is only business men or people who have business networked to the world wide web.

  • Does the Treo 650 have an alarm clock? Thanks!

  • almost perfect??? there are still lots of available pda's to choose from... and this one?...it's like buying a HEADACHE! ok,you may upgrade your firmware... still the applications are incomplete. sad thing is that you have to buy the softwares you like...that costs much,with bugs or even no activation code. some fones has it all like SE P910 or nokia 6680..the one i'm using now cause treo 650 really dissapointed me. imagine the cost i've spent for a Headache! someone purchased my unit for a cheaper price of $535. i am calling the attention of palmOne...i need to hear your side please. lastly, i heard palmOne is changing their brandname to One? is that true? Don't use One, why not try Second, Third, Fourth.....i'm really angry!

  • Its interesting I have been waiting for this Phone to come along for so long.I can say I was impressed with it when I first got it,but after a couple of weeks I was getting prepared to send Palm hatemail for producing a great piece of hardware with such shocking software.My phone suffered form every Problem i have read about on line.The resets,the phone switching off,constant soft resets,Bad blue tooth connections poor reception bad phone call volume.I downloaded every fault from the opinion pages and printed copies off, took them to the people I had purchased the phone off as proof that it was not just my phone.They sent it off to palm who loaded the very latest firmware for a GSM unlocked which according to the web site had just become available which was 1.13.My phone came back 1.14 The phone is almost perfect now.

  • webby, ringo pro rings 5 seconds only of the assigned ringtone...why not the whole music/mp3? much better to dispose treo 650 and wait for the improved one! hello palmone..your attention please!

  • To get your ringtone associated with an individual in your address book, you need ringo pro or mring.

  • i've already disposed mine at greenhills (while on fire)last saturday for 30,000 peso/$535s after using it for 5 days. i can not stand the constant resets every now & then and you have to buy softwares to satisfy your needs. i bought Photo resco viewer for $18 at palmfocus but to my dismay, it has no activation code. no attention was given when i e-mailed them. switched to n6680 instead. now i have no more worries!

  • How do I get a ringtone I recorded associated with an individual in my contacts rather than the standard ringones?

  • This phone is hot i like it a lot. But what da F... is up with constant RESETS ??? can anyone help on how to stop them ??? it resets automatically 5-6 times a day f....ing horoble Please somebody help

  • Phone First: Big & (clunky) - wonderful-amazing screen, fast easy dialing, average to just below average sound quality, great reception, poor battery life, sub-par reliability (compared to other just-phone products). PDA: Palm - what's not to love. I miss the graffiti areas of the full-fledged palms, but otherwise the Treo 650 makes an outstanding palm: Screen, thumb-board, battery life and reliabilty (compared to other pda's). Smart-Phone: After trying all the others, this is by far the best. I prefer Palm of Windows Mobile largely due to the software and communiites that exist around the Palm platform. My treo has all the games and media apps you could want, but it is a true work horse for my professional life. No matter what country I'm in, it flawlessly logs in to the GPRS network, builds a VPN connection back to my corporate infrastructure, authenticates with Exchange, updates emails - with a touch of a single button or in a completely automated, scheduled fashion. I didn't have the time to get a PHD and learn how to do all of that on the Windows platform. Some corporate users might prefer the BlackBerry, but I prefer the great screen, flexibility to include private email synchronization and run any of the countless apps available for the Palm OS. In short: Great stuff!

  • lyn, you have to purchase a software to use your mp3 as ringtone.RingoPro mp3 is available at www.palmfocus.com for $29...however,it plays only 5 seconds of the assigned mp3 and not the whole song. check other software (trial,good for 15 days)to satisfy your needs. but if i were you,i'm goin to dispose it immediately...Treo 650 is a big HEADACHE!

  • I've d/l some mp3 songs on my treo 650 but I can't use it as ringing tone. Can anybody help me on this. Tks!

  • got it at a whooping price of 39,900 pesos in manila. now i've been using treo 650 for 5 days...and i'm so DISAPPOINTED! - have to turn off brightness to be able to reach 3 days prior another battery charge - expensive softwares...i've puchased Photo Resco Viewer at www.palmfocus.com for $18 but what i got was a software without an activation code - installed ringo mp3 tone for $29 but the tone is limited to ring up to 5 seconds only - it has a free treo headset which costs 3,900 pesos but it's not working.when i called-up the store (complink, sm mega mall)fro where i got it, they referred me to their supplier instead of replacing it immediately...poor after sales service - you have to copy/paste inbox messages to saved messages...no another create folder - very small font - you have to purchase a software to read .gif files - no screensaver - i've installed mmplayer for divx files...it worked but the audio for newly taken videos VANISHED! - speakerphone is not so loud...i even got missed calls because of the cheap built-in speaker -no headset for mp3 player -you have to input contacts manually instead of copying from sim -sometimes my phone rings midi files instead of the assigned mp3 -installed some of my mtv video collections but it shows thumbnail size instead of full screen + easy text messaging + elegant design

  • does anybody know if i can get some sort of photoshop program 4 my phone or anything that allow 2 mess with my pics

  • I have been using my Treo 650 for three months, after using the SE 910 and O2, this is the absolute best so far. Did extensive international travel with it, using infrared keyboard, and took beautiful fotos which could be sent via GPRS networks. Superb.

  • DO NOT go for 650. I tried to update my 600 to 650 and I had 14 days down time. My manager almost want to fire me on this. and finally I decided to go back to 600. 650 NOT working with ACT! and has lots of other issues

  • It Treo 650 better or O2 Mini? don't know which one to buy. I heard a lot of bad comments on Treo 650.

  • DANGER !! DANGER !! DANGER !! The treo 650 is an invitation to "th mother of all migranes"... Unrilaible, frustrating, cumbersome... Bought one 10 days ago, so far I am on my 3rd device. Fried the first two witha runaway charger... so hot I had to use a wash cloth from the hotel (on the 2nd device). applications such as the camera only cause a reseting of the device... ABSOLUTELY no trust or faith on wether the device will work or not. Have missed lots of incoming calls... no reason, no voice mail... STAY AWAY FROM IT. I am so thankful that I am within the 39 day buyers remorse.. You betcha its going back to cingular....

  • this is my dream phone and also motorola v1150 and v560 those phone are very nice!!!

  • Hi to all, I would like to know that the Treo 650 supports as a dial-up modem or not. Is there any 3rd party softwares that I could use so I can use dial-up with my Treo 650. I heard that someone said that the Treo 650 has some script to install so that it can dial-up. Anyone please help me out. Thanks.

  • Comming from tre 180-treo 270 treo 600, sony 910i, qtek909 and now treo 650. Summerise all treo devices workt just fine and did what they advertised. I tryed the pocket pc and this was nightmare, reseting, upgrating the eproms, installing reinstalling etc. Every day was thinking will my phone work yes or no, on each call you receive asking your self will this work with my headset (bt) or no. Actualy westing more time to put questions in stad of make or take the necessary phones. The main differense between the windows based phones and symbian/palm os is that the last phones/pda worked withous asking you if they go to do what they are suppose to do they just do. The difference between Treo 650 and the 910 of sony/ericsson is the keyboard is mutch better and personal i'm used to work with the palm. But to my point of vieuw there is for the time been no phone/pda that is works as good as the treo 650. Configuration took just five minutes no questions have been asked. It just worked from the very first time. Bt sound quality perfect. Perhaps the new phone from hp the hw6515 will bring even beter results but I stay on the fact that for the momment the treo 650 is perfect no resets no installing and reinstalling soft. it just works. Ps: I'm just a user and not worker at palm.

  • Treo 650 owner for 6 months Strengths Great battery life! 3days standby 650 has removable/replaceable battery QWERTY is VERY useful text messaging Good size and rugged Lots of good software out there. With 1Gig SD- this a great mp3 player Calculator convert EVERYTHING Fits in pocket comfortably EDGE speeds, although I've never used it and frankly don't use this for webbrowsing. Software is easier to use and more intuitive than other pdas. Weaknesses No w-lan Vibration is not strong enough The excel program, not user friendly doesn't include stereo headset, in fact stereo headset from treo is not cheap Not dumbproof occasional, 1 in 2wk, OS freezes so-so camera PDA phones are not perfect by any means but the Treo 650 is, in my opinion, the best PDA phone. The O2s and windows based phones have ridiculously low battery life. I dunno how I'd live without this phone now. Great calendar, I never miss appointments and meetings now, I listen to mp3s when I'm on the train, I practice writing chinese characters, I read ebooks. The damn calculator does everything, even finance. I don't use the web browsing much and I don't play games on my phone so I can't make any recommendations on that end.

  • I bought a treo 650 GSM unlocked a while ago. Terrible choice. Constant resets (4-6 times a day) WITHOUT any third party software installed. I have tried all of the suggestions posted by various communities but to no avail. I would not reccomend this phone to anyone.

  • I am attemtping to decide between the TREO 650, and Samsung I700. What does everyone think?

  • Will the Treo 650 work with iSync (address book etc...)on a Mac? Or do I have to use the Palm software? Thanks

  • way better then 600 but still needs improvements (speaker phone )

  • Far from perfect, yet...as close as can be. Phone, calendar, contacts, documents on the go, email, SMS, MMS, Web, cam, video, and mp3 player....what more could you ask for? This is an excellent working tool for the contemporary business person. A tad bulky, but a small price to pay for a mobile office that fits in your coat pocket. Imagine what the 700 or 800 series will be like...rumours abound, they will be slimmer and not necessarily smaller, and better quality res for screen and cam. A solid performer, worth every penny if you demand and excellent business tool that offers it all.

  • this one is way better then the 600!!! wy better.

  • The Treo 650 is a smartphone. Obviously it is MORE than just simply a phone like the Razr or a Nokia. To simply give up on it after one day of simple-minded use, as one poster here had done and "proudly" proclaim they had gone back to a V3 smacks of extreme foolishness or ignorance. I had migrated from a PocketPC to this, and I can truly say my Treo beats ANY existing smartphone on the market hands down. Yes, it's that good and if you can afford it, rush to the store and get one! P.S: my experience is resets occur due to software error 99.9 pct of the time. And after 3 or 4 days of using it properly, you'll start to wonder how you ever got along without it, I guarantee! :)

  • I am in India & does it make sence to by a TREO 650 with the kind o fservice & software buggs it has. I would also like to know if any one from India owns one. Ram K Kaul.

  • One day after I purchased my Treo 650, it started acting up. It would reboot and turn on and off in a continuous loop all by itself. I tried a soft reboot and a hard reboot, and even taking out the battery and putting it back in, and it still would be stuck in a loop of booting up and shutting down. I put a screen protector which comes with the Treo 650 box. The screen protector caused the touch screen pda to act up and not work, so I had to tak it off. Finally I took it back and purchased a Razor Phone which is amazing. I bought the Treo 650 because I had the Treo 600 for two years and was pleased with it. Even the 600 had it's problems with the headphone jack and the speaker not working. Stay away from Treo.

  • Hi guyz, Treo 650 is a nice phone with good design, no doubt that everyone likes it. I've find out the rediculous problem about this Treo 650. My customer called up and told me about the broken antenna. So I call up PalmOne and what they told me "You need to pay about $179 USD for a replacement unit ". What a stupid joke. Jz a small matter of the antenna and you need to replace a new unit. Even Nokia services are far.. I mean FAR more better than Treo 650 phones and Treo series. Services not that damn good, need to send to the sevice centre near by. What a stupid joke again... My last opinion, dun buy PalmOne phones or PDA, not good and waste a lot of time when sending for repair. Buy phones that gives you a lot of services like Sony or Nokia which easily available everywhere !!!! Sayonara PalmOne....

  • no you cannot, but can use data cable and IR port

  • Question, will this phone sync with isync thru bluetooth? Mac OSX computer

  • Marko the menu on Treo 600 and 650 is very fast. Also sms writing. I cant complain at all about it. And Im really very demanding with the toys :)

  • if you are in a tight budget buy treo 600, and if you have a lot money buy treo 650, both is great

  • Hi treo maniacs, I am in Vietnam. I have been thinking about buying a Treo smartphone since last December. My need is to have a phone that allows me to check my emails too in a proper manner. Did not buy a 600 knowing that the 650 was to be released early 2005. Now my Sony Ericson T630 is dead and I need to buy it. Both models are now on offer here. The 600 @ $400, which seems a good deal and 650 @ $770, which is ... hard spending to digest... Still I can't decide. Buying the old one or the latest one... Appreciate your opinions. Thanks Sam

  • Simple question: How fast are the menus, and especially SMS writing on long messages?

  • When ever using the phone or the net, the microwaves from the antena makes the unshielded speakers in the vicinitiy make a loud noise similar to morse code transmission. This happens even when the speakers are off. I suspect the strong signals from the antena make the speaker magnets vibrate. Any one else having a similar problem?

  • I used to own a Treo600. It's a great phone but with few shortcomings. I hope Palm people could read my mail and come up with better. 1. Improve the screen resolution to 252K 2. Camera at least 1.3 - 2 MP 3. Use metal alloy as casing to improve aesthetic value 4. Better ringtone and volume 5. Provides options for BT and Wifi. OK, with all these, it would be a PERFECT phone. Naturally, Px will also be quite high. Hope to see it as Treo680.

  • Only Treo 650 and P910 have keyboard on the phone so that you can use the phone with only one hand whereby you need to use 2 hands to operate a O2 phone. The camera although is lesser than 1MP but the result is pretty good, it is better that O2 mini when indoor.

  • The most commonly use function in the PDA phone is basically the calendar, contact,task, email, camera and phone. Treo 650 provide all.

  • Got my Treo 650 2 weeks ago after trade-in my O2 mini & P910. Think this is the best smart PDA phone in the market which have almost all I need. It looks ugly initially but its getting better looking now. It make me feel good because not many people carry tis phone, I am not worry to bang into a young school girls who are using the same phone like mine. This Treo 650 is truly for man only.

  • Got this Treo650 for 1 week. Excellent product and well engineered. Of course is nothing perfect! Migrated to Treo650 nothing but happiness and never looking back.

  • I've had the 650 since Dec. I love it! The only complaint I have is that the mic. is extremely sensitive. Currently there is a sftwr update on palmone to possibly help this problem. Otherwise it's well worth the money!!!

  • I've had my GSM Treo 650 for 6 weeks now, after upgrading from a Treo 270. I live in Sydney and haven't seen 1 other 650 in my travels. It's a good phone and organiser rolled into 1 unit, and the fact I have loaded a stack of mp3 files onto the 1GB SD card means I have eliminated carrying around my iRiver player. Internal memory is a bit stingy but you can load most things onto the SD card and they are cheap on eBay. I have no problems getting my email, but I don't use the browser function (cost related issue). I wish they'd get WiFi sorted out soon. The camera resolution is poor compared to some others on the market, but the little use I make of it returns OK results. A lot of people complain about quirky functions, but I have found they are usually related to third-party software not behaving properly. I couldn't live without Documents To Go, Backup Buddy, and Real Player (but no graphic equaliser...cheapskates!). I also use Ringo Pro to customise the ring tones. Bluetooth is great with my HBH 650 headset from SE, and I am a little tempted to order a Bluetooth keyboard for more serious work. Would love to hear from some other Aussies who have this Treo model.

  • sorry for those stupid, silly people who are not satisfied w their treo 650....use your brain in maximizing the features... or use pad paper instead .....

  • The whole thing sucks. Though this new model thank god has a decent 320x320 screen, not like the previous which had sucky 160x160 screen. And that keyboard is of no use really, but it's still better than on SE P910i. I think the best choice for PDA-phone is still XDA II (Qtek 2020). XDA III is newer, but it's bigger and bulkier and it's keyboard is a totally useless piece of crap. Palm really can't make decent PDA-phones, just face it! HTC still makes best devices. Even the old XDA (Qtek 1010) beats this Treo 650! Sorry, but I know what I'm talking about...

  • Hi all, i can't decide what to get the Treo650 , Nokia9500 or Sony Eric P910i. Can anyone give me a better opinion/review. thnx

  • it doesn't support wi-fi cards. you will need to d/l a crack in order to use it. palmone hasn't come out with a compatible wifi card.bummer.really nice looking phone with good functions though.

  • i think u can buy an external wifi card to search internet. am i right?

  • memory issues? please ! thats why there is a sd slot in the top....

  • The lack of memory means this phone cannot be used for the serious business user that may have thousands of contacts. Palmone seems to have fallen asleep when there is a demand for a business phone with decent memory. Sack Palmones marketing department as they have comprised the phones abilities.

  • Why no wiFi?

  • Hi, i'm king of lost in deciding to get the Treo650 or Nokia9500 or Sony Eric T910i. Can anyone out there give me a better opnion/review.

  • Got this about a week. Hanged 4 times when starting a program; turned phone function off by itself all of a sudden about 3 times... otherwise GREAT screem, GREAT keyboard, GREAT UI, GREAT sync, GREAT packaging, BAD support, BAD documentation, BAD after sale service, BAD wait time for help, BAD palmOne! They need to TEST THIS THING first before releasing it.

  • An even better Treo 600, Bluetooth and 320x320 pixel touchscreen in 65,000 colours screen makes the 650 the perfect business PDA.

  • does it have WiFi??? thx

  • Anyone know about sw to send sms thru bluetooth from pc or mac directly to treo 650

  • 2nd day with the phone. It is not yet activated. But, from what I can tell it's awesome. It's easy to get used to, button lay out is good, wonderfull phone. And memmory is no problem. I bought a 152 MB card off ebay for 16 bucks, so if you don't like small memmory, go ebay. Wonderfull little phone.

  • This phone has realy poor sound quality, please check

  • The best palm and cellular phone, the camera is really a camera, and the design is perfect

  • The best Pda ever

  • To: Lee I had the SE P900,P910 and now I have the treo 650 and I can tell you this is the best phone ever.

  • can't decide btw Treo 650 and Sony P910...which one works better with a Mac...??....please, help me....

  • I just one to say that this is by far the best phone. I have had the nokia 7710, SE P900, SE S700, SX1, Samsung D500 the screen broke by it self and a liquid start coming from the screen I don't know how. To be honest the treo 650 is a very comfortable phone and has everything I need and more.

  • This is a kickass phone. I went ahead & bought the CDMA version & couldn't be happier. I was going to wait for the GSM version but I just couldn't wait, and now I'm glad b/c Sprint's data is much faster & they doon't have near as many problems as Cingular does. The GSM model IS buggy & has a lot of problems. It was rushed out before it was thoroughly tested & I know many people who are on their 3rd & 4th Treos b/c of all the problems. So even though this is GSMarena, I suggest the CDMA Treo. I've had some bugs & random resets, but most problems are due to software incompatibility. Some software doesn't mesh well with the new filing system this phone implements. Oh- for previous Palm users- DO NOT sync your old Palm's data on to the Treo, it will crash hard & fast. Install programs one by one to ensure compatibility. Nothing's worse than getting stuck in a reset loop b/c of bad software & having to hard reset. Anyway- this phone has the best web browsing capabilities I've ever seen. It's fast & thorough. Call quality is superb, I've had only ONE dropped call in the entire MONTH that I've had it!!! Earpiece volume is loud enough that I have to turn it down most of the time(a first for me), and the speakerphone works great & is plenty loud. I havent really used any headsets so I can't comment on that yet. SMS is really neat- the Treo turns your msgs into a sort of chat window where you can view what the other person says & then what you say just like in a chatroom. There's really too many great features to describe so I'll just say it does just about everything awesomely. Bottom line- this phone gets a 98% on the phone test. It's lacking in some areas(NEEDS MORE MEMORY!!! 32megs, WTF?) but for the most part it's a serious winner. A sheer delight to use for both businessfolk & simple gadget geeks like me. If you get this phone- be sure to buy a case for it. It is small & slippery & if you are the slightest bit butterfingered you WILL drop it. I bought a pink silicone skin off eBay & I have not dropped mine since. One last thing, a tip- many people complain about the keyboard & the keys being too small. I found that even though I have petite feminine hands, typing was a big problem for me since I type with my thumbnails. The keys are hard plastic & have no 'grip' to them, making it very easy to slip & hit two keys at once. If you have this same problem, do what I did- Go to WalMart & buy 1/8 yard of clear upholestery plastic(usually 98 cents a yard). Cut it to fit over the keyboard & tape it on so that it is stretched over the keyboard(make sure the tape doesn't extend over the battery cover). This will protect your keyboard from renegade droplets of liquid & also give the keys some grip. I type twice as fast now. BTW only do this if you have a case that covers up the tape, or else you'll look stupid with tape & plastic all over your phone. Hope you enjoyed reading yet another of my long-winded reviews, and if anyone has any questions about this phone, feel free to ask me!

  • BrEakStUfF, Seen any vga 500mhz PDA/Phones around? Have you actually tried using a Treo 650 for sometime before posting your comments? I had mine for a month now and its been rock solid

  • this phone is very bugy and it will die like palm one around Q4 of 2006 when people realize that THERE IS a big difference between 300 Mhz and 500 Mhz and 320 x 320 QVGA and REAL VGA

  • Does anyone know when GPRS is in use in the GSM version, say, surfing the web, will phone calls still come through?

  • It has arrived for cingular!! This is a excellent upgrade from the Treo 600. All of the minor issues of 600, addressed... The Keyboard take 2 days to get used to, then it is perfect!!! Love it! Thanks Palm! Works with my Linux Desktop!! PS. don't get a carkit... use a bluetooth headset!

  • whats a bluetooth dial-up modem?

  • The Treo is the most mature smart phone, get it if you want the least problems. Also it's the most cross platform smart phone.. supports both MACs and PCs. Mac users... don't even blink.. better interface than wondows mobile, can isync. Unfortunately not all Symbian phones do not support isync. Check apple.com/isync for a list of devices. If you want to use the Treo as a Bluetooth Dial Up Modem for your Mac portable, wait for the TMobile Treo650. The Cingular Treo 650 is crippled and cannot act as a Bluetooth DialUp Modem without purchaSing $pecific extra data plan$$$. _

  • guys, i suggest you wait for XDA IIi. if the qwerty keyboard is not a factor for you, then go for the XDA IIi. it's better than treo 650. Ahh...don't buy the erickson P910

  • Hello to all I'm having the change to test this device before it's launched in Europe. I've never seen a high res. screen like this before! UNBELIEVEABLE !!!!

  • When will Pda makers start to realise that a QWERTY keyboard sucks on PDA's . Its a mobile and PDA so the keyboerd should be mobile version, at least we can use it effectively for sms or even Email. Trying typing on a small QWERTY keyboard like this one. Sending sms using qwerty sucks.

  • oh GOD how I want this phone... I'm buying this as soon as it's released.

  • I live in Alaska and cellular services are very hard to find. I'm waiting with baited breath for the Treo 650 GSM version to be released. I've even toyed with the idea of looking at RIM Blackberry products, but I'm a loyal Palm user--I have a T3, T5, and a Zire 72. I want the palm os, so I'm waiting. Anxiously. Not so patiently any more.

  • When will they be released in Australia?

  • this phone is the bomb yo

  • i sure hope that treo will improve the camera this time.. i have a treo 600 and im quite disappointed with the camera quality.. but overall, it's a great phone! palm os is far more powerful and stable than symbian (plus lots of free apps and games available)
