Summary: Fantastic Smartphone!
Comment: If you're looking for a smartphone that's intuitive and user-friendly, but also is a major powerhouse, check out this phone! I've used several smartphones in the past, both Windows Mobile 6 as well as Palm based. I keep coming back to Palm because of its ease of use and stability.

I love the keyboard on the Treo 680 as well. I can fire off emails very quickly, and the keyboard is quite spacious.

One thing I like most about the Treo that no other cellphone or smartphone offers is the threaded chat feature. Your Treo keeps all incoming and outgoing texts in a chat-style layout, so you know exactly who said what, and when. Very cool!

Summary: Another winner from Palm!!!
Comment: When I decided to buy a smartphone I seriously considered buying the Treo 650 since many reviews written at the time the 680 was launched mentioned a poor battery life for the Treo 680, and an apparent lack of improvements over the previous model. Most reviews were written before the camera patch came out which solved the battery drain problem, so, here's a review from a longtime Palm user who got his first Treo. The Palm website includes a page where you can check if your device needs to have the camera patch installed (you need the Treo's serial number).

This is a great combination of a high tech phone and a Palm PDA. It has all the functions I was used to on my previous Palm-powered devices. I have owned a Palm Vx, a Clie PEG-615T, and a CLIE-PEG TJ25, and lately a Palm Tungsten E2. The only thing I really miss is the grafitti (handwritten) function. The keyboard is a little cramped for my taste, but I assume I will become used to it. Apart from that, I just love this phone. The battery life is adequate, since I used to charge my handheld daily, charging the Treo's battery daily is no big deal for me. The device's stability is also great. So far I have not had any trouble with the Treo blacking out or restarting on its own. This device is great for people on the go, and I still believe it is far superior to any blackberry device and Iphone, since a Palm-powered device is a handheld computer and not only a fancy cell phone. The Treo 680 is easy to use and very intuitive. I comes packed with useful applications, and there thousands of applications you can buy and install customizing the phone to your personal needs. The documents to go application is great to take with you spreadsheets, powerpoint presentations, and word documents. The pocket tunes software is great for listening to your favorite music (with a SD card, not included), and the amount of RAM (64MB) is just great for taking all the applications and games that you need on the go. The only thing I wish it had is wi-fi capabilities, which it doesn't. It is great to finally take along only one device instead of two (PDA and phone)!!!

Summary: Rocks!
Comment: this is a great phone; in fact I guess the best on the market. The Palm operating is system is so easy to use. I have had a blackberry, t mobile dash, and some Samsung phones. In fact, the convenience and quality that Palm offers is unmatched.

Summary: Serious Battery Problems
Comment: palm Treo 680 PDA Phone (Unlocked)
I bought the Treo in November of 2007, and noticed intense battery drain from the start. Even worse, the battery drains completely overnight. I'll fully recharge the telehpone, unplug it, and leave it off overnight. In the morning the battery is completely dead - the phone won't respond at all. I'm very disappointed in generally poor battery performance, and especially disappointed in the complete drain of battery power overnight while the device is turned off. Palm needs to come up with a solution or design a better GSM smarthpone.
