Forget two devices

Why not get a Smartphone, and join the two together!

I've been using the Treo 650 for a while now, and I was using the Treo 600 for a couple of years before that.

I reckon it has to be the finest PDA/Phone out there - it is basically a fully functional Palm, with a phone!

320x320 full colour screen, SD slot (I have a 1Gb card in mine for watching movies), BlueTooth, fairly good camera.. and it runs Palm OS so you can utlise the thousands upon thousands of apps out there already.

I sync my calendar to it, get emails pushed to it, convert Swedish Krona to Pounds, Shillings and Pence on it, use it as a notepad, store encrypted info on it, play some great games, surf the web, access wikipedia.. the list goes on (much like the beat).

Well.. I won't drone on, suffice to say that I love it.. and there's a massive user community online to help out etc.

It's pretty hardy - I keep mine in my back pocket whether I'm sitting down or not.. and I've dropped it many times.

(don't panic about the price.. comes cheap on Orange for example.. I got mine free!)

and the:

Treo Central Page

(great for disussion forums)

  • Problem I have is that I don't use my mobile as a phone that much really...not enough to warrant being on a contract, otherwise I'd upgrade my ageing P800. Suzanne and I are both on Virgin and our joint monthly bill comes to £8 at most!

  • really? thats pretty damn good. i get a 40£ each month with t-mobile. maybe i should look at their price plans and see what my options are.

  • There's a rumour that it'll be coming to T-Mobile soon..

    My bill is about £100 per month so that's probably why I got it free :)

    But from scratch, without barganing (which is always worthwhile!).. it's £199 - still well worth it in my opinion when you consider how much decent PDA's are these days.. plus phones.
