Summary: Cingular 600 Treo
Review: Great phone quality, the speaker phone works very good, I have my phone service with TMobile. The best part about this phone is its size and combination features of PDA, web browsing and phone service.
Forget about the camera portion of this phone, as far as I am concern, this Palm would have been better product w/o this feature. Where is the voice activation? The FM radio Module? The MP3 portion of it great ?with a sd card?, the memory could be double. You?ll need to purchase some good applications for this device; however the ones given are good enough. As for web browsing, and email, receiving and sending emails work good, the browser are a bit slow, depending on where you?re.
Overall, this is a very good product if you?re looking for an almost all in one, I change my phones about every 6 mths, I might hold on to this one a little longer.

Summary: Just bad luck, maybe.
Review: I got my treo 600 as an upgrade thru cingular online. After couple of days of using it, I noticed that the wireless mode keep on turning off by itself ocassionally. Tried to call cingular customer service, most of their tech support is not even familiar with treo 600, I got transferred around waiting 10-15 minutes each time i transferred, with the machine telling me that my call is important to them. I keep on wondering, if my call was important to them, why am I on hold for more than 30 minutes. Anyway, I ended up returning the unit. It's possible that I got a lemon, but I'm not willing to give it a second chance.

Summary: Great as a PDA, Phone is terrible
Review: I owned the Treo 600 a little over a year now. My husband bought it for me as an upgrade from the older Treo, first it was so great to be able to sync your data and bring your contacts from your Palm and able to sync calenders and to do list, download games and all that, and even to a Mac, how devine.
After a couple of months I noticed that the wireless mode turn itself off more than once a day and most of the time I can not even use the phone anywhere near my own house, I'll get cut off. But I do get good signal inside buildings and even in basement at work so I put up with the loss connections problems.
Then my friends and family starting to tell me that they hear interferences and loud, buzzing noise when I called them on the Treo from. Some even says it sounds like a thousand bees buzzing at the same time. My aunt in San Francisco told me not to call her with this phone anymore if i still want to talk to her.
I was never a believer in a device that can do more than a few things at a time, i.e. all-in-one printer, scanner, copier, fax machine, and now I will have to add the Treo 600 smartphone to the list. If the device had to try to do too many things, it will never be good at the one thing you want it to do.
The Smart PDA is should be call - but not so Smart of a Phone..
Finally I would like to add that if you have a preblem with your phone don't wait too long, after your warranty (usually one year) is up, when you have a problem and go to the manufacturer, they will say it is your wireless service fault and the phone company will have no problem saying that it is a hardware problem.
I probably will have to get another cellphone, and the Treo will just have to be an extremely expensive PDA for me...

Summary: I like it!
Review: I'm not a professional reviewer, but I just felt like I needed to say a few nice things about this device. Also, I've only had it for one week and I have Cingular service.My initial thoughts are that this Treo 600 is wonderful. As a phone, it works great. Speakerphone is clear and loud, as is standard mode. The camera is so-so, which doesn't bother me since I really didn't get it for the camera. I can surf the web, which is nice but slow. But the PDA part is where this device really shines. I have it hooked up to receive my work e-mail, which is fantastic. I can send and receive e-mail without needing my laptop. This alone gives this device 5 stars. I imagine the Treo 600 does most things my Ipaq did, but I'll have to wait and see. Pros:
E-mail is downloadable.
Small and compact.
Speakerphone.
Sound is great. Cons:
Keyboard is kinda small, but I'm getting used to it.
Web browsing is slow. (But about what I should expect, I guess.)
Camera is not the greatest quality.

Summary: Down with Palm
Review: If you like a loud buzzing to override all your conversations, then this phone is for you! I exchanged my first Palm with another, which, thankfully, does the same thing. Hey, gotta give them credit for consistency!
A phone that is as big as a poptart, loses connectivity without warning several times a day, costs a butt-load, freezes while using call waiting and switching between applications, and, ah, the buzzing! Yeah, this was the phone for me, and if you want a really expensive and really crappy phone, then it's for you, too! Cash in your daughter's college fund and buy one today!

Summary: Cingular deceptive
Review: My review is on Cingular. I bought a phone w/service and was told I could return for full refund and only charged for any air time used. THEY LIE. THE PHONE DID NOT WORK IN MY AREA AND I CANCELLED THE NEXT DAY. THEY ARE CHARGING ME FOR ACTIVATION even though it never worked in my area. If you are uncertain you will keep the phone and service, DON'T BUY from Cingular. Amazon will also do nothing to reimburse.

Summary: AMAZON with CINGULAR a nightmare
Review: Thers no doubt the TREO 600 is an outstanding PDA phone, probably the best. Having migrated from the TREO300 on sprint its lightyears ahead. It should have had a higher res screen, it should have had bluetooth (we'll see both of these simple improvements in the next version) Pricing is ridiculous. I chose Cinglar as the rebate on amazon brought the phone to an OK $299, and given well see a newer phone soon not bad. However HUGE issues with the CINGULAR/AMAZON system - 10 days not resolved. The head & tail dont know what each other is doing (long story - probably more cingular & the AT&T acquisition). Anyway go TREO 600 if you cant wait for next the next model. GO VERIZON as has best coverage and skip AMAZON as they cant supply the phone any cheaper than the cellular store..

Summary: Watch out for A1 Wireless.com
Review: This review is a warning and is being posted at every possible website...including Amazon. And has nothing to do with Amazon itself. I buy from Amazon frequently and am very satisfied.
If you are planning to purchase a cell phone with plan, a smartphone with plan and happen upon A1 Wireless.com and are impressed by they're low prices, do yourself a favor: take the money you would spend on whatever it is they have to offer that you want and flush it down the toilet. You will never, ever see any kind of refund from this company.
I had the misfortune of getting sucked into ordering a smartphone w/plan from this company. I later found out that the phone has been receiving terrible reviews and decided to cancel well before the order shipped. That was over 2 weeks ago and every time I call this company's customer service they inveriably tell me " your money will be refunded and you will see in 2 to 3 business days."
They tell me this everytime I call them...about every 2 to 3 business days and I've called them more than 5 times.
Don't let the Better Business Bureau affiliation fool you. This site has no interest in consumer satisfaction.
Be aware.

Summary: Great gadget, phone terrible
Review: This would be the neatest, coolest, handiest thing in the world if the phone worked well. The problem is extremely loud buzzing makes phone almost unusable. I finally was able to exchange it for another, which is starting to have the same problem. Seems like these phones have a life span of several months before the buzzing starts, and then it's all over. Other than that, it is a great device that works well all over the world.
