Summary: Not worth the price
Review: This phone is not worth the money for the features being offered. You are better off considering the MPx200 which syncs well with Outlook(something this doesnt do)and has complete integration with Exchange. Also this is bigger than the MPx200 and so not as easy to carry with you.

Summary: Coolest device, but a couple nits
Review: This is the only device I have ever purchased that I just can't stop grinning about. Simply the best purchase I have ever made. Caveat is that I didn't mind spending the bucks. Basically, this has all the important things I wanted, in a small package -- contacts, calendar, phone, camera, email, web, to-do list, expansion slot, etc. AT&T's office online feature is great (syncs your email, calendar, contacts with your PC from anywhere). Also, ease of use is excellent and straightforward. Screen is good, but not great. Some nits that would make this thing perfect: 802.11, bluetooth, significantly improved camera, faster wireless internet/email

Summary: Nothing else comes close.
Review: This is a great device which really proves again that the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts. Can you imagine a desktop computer with no internet? Well, after using the Treo 600, you'll feel that a PDA without a phone, or a Phone without a PDA, is equally lacking. Having tried many (incl. an i700), and having owned an i500, a Treo 300, and many other Palms and Pocket PCs, I can say this device is better than any other single PDA or Phone, or Combo. It's the beautiful integration that makes it all work. Its my perception that any two machines connected with Bluetooth are not nearly as convenient. Never mind the extra carting, storing, charging etc. Phone Performance
My coverage and ability to hold calls is the best I've had in this area. I've had good success wherever I've gone as well. Sound is very good. Speakerphone
Works well and is a tremendous asset in general. The ability to talk on the speakerphone while using any other application (like the Contacts, or DateBook) on the PDA is especially valuable. Phonebook and Favorites
The Phonebook integration is superb. No other device makes it so quick and easy to choose from your thousands of contacts and dial, all with one thumb on the keyboard. SNAP. The Phone favorites function is also far better than ANY phone I've seen. Just beautiful. Web and E-Mail
With Sprint's high speed CDMA 1xRTT service, the web is truly usable now, anywhere, anytime. Almost ALL web sites are supported due to the faster CPU's ability to handle Java Scripts. Having always available Web access is great for solving problems when you need them solved. E-Mail can handle attachments. Life is good. Keyboard
Much much faster than graffiti. The small keys take some time to get accustomed to, but now I love it, and wouldn't give it up. Its just a pleasure for mail, messaging, and data entry in general. 5-Way control
Makes a bigger difference than I could've imagined. Beautifully done and adds enormous convenience to many, many apps. You'll have to try it at length to fully appreciate it. Battery Life
Really excellent, I can browse off and on all day, make several calls and still have juice left. I've ordered extra slide-on batteries, so I can play ChessGenius and listen to music all day at the beach.
Screen
It's the brightest most readable screen I've seen. I found it usable outside on the sunniest days. If you aim bright sunlight strait at it, it may be difficult to see. But, unlike others it's very easy to shift the angle a wee bit and get total visibility. Given the potential Battery Life tradeoffs I have no problem with its 160x160 resolution. SD card
Great for nightly, automated, backups (using a third part app like BackupMan). I can do a full restore anywhere, anytime. Also great for storing lots of MP3s. Supports SDIO, so we'll have support for all future SD functionality, like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and more. MP3s
Great sound and a pleasure to have. Camera
It's not the best, but it's very nice to have. Form Factor
Excellent. Always feels great in the hand. It's very quick and convenient. I miss one thing: With a clamshell design you can get right into the mike and really whisper on phone calls. Not quite as easy with the candy bar form factor. Cool Factor
I must say its got the highest cool factor of any device so far. People are always asking me about it and admiring it. My kids thought my Treo 300 looked geeky when used as a phone, they think this one is great and would die to have it. CPU
About 5 times faster than a Treo 300. More than twice as fast as an i500. You really feel it. Every app is very zippy indeed.
Conclusion
Just get it.

Summary: Treo Review
Review: I've had this phone a few days now, and it works just fine for me. To the previous reviewer, the Treo DOES have a clock and a call duration timer. The camera really isn't worth much, but fun to use just the same. I highly recommend buying the phone w/a service plan. As nice and functional as it is, it's not quite worth 600 bones. With service plan activation/rebates,etc it's much more reasonable. Enjoy!

Summary: Almost there!
Review: I would rate the Treo 600/CDMA as a 4/5 in a perfect universe, but the fact is it is the best smartphone (integrated PDA, whatever...) currently out there by a long shot. The next generation (c'mon Apple!) should take over the phone universe... There are a ton of reviews that may state the same as below, but here's my 2ยข: My Useage (greatest to least):
Phone > Calendar/Alarm > Email > Navigation > Web > MP3 player > Notepad > Camera Pros:
Call quality, loud internal speaker, data & palm integration (though still some quirky interfaces), adequate battery life (even w/CDMA version), bright display, large but comfy shape, stable with updated apps, SSH & VNC from anywhere(yay!!) Cons:
Display (at least 16-bit instead of 12-bit color depth), back is too slick (vertical rubber inlay strips, please), camera useless average to low light, browsing is just a bit too slow for quick web fact checking (good considering, but page layout is painful at times - processor or Blazer?), center button on 5-way pad is too slick (needs dot, indentation, something) I'm actually going to try to make this a laptop replacement (so I can afford an Apple G5 at home), since I don't usually do a tremendous amount of data entry away from the desk, just document review, email, travel arrangements, some minor web-server tweaks through SSH. Since this is my first Palm device, I've yet to try the Palm MS Office replacement apps to edit and resubmit Word docs through email. But I really think it may work for me! I miss my old RIM 650 keyboard, but not it's size (I have large, stubby man fingers though). Also, if you are of reasonable size and wear loose/cargo pants, you can just barely pocket (front or side, NOT back) this thing without fearing stubby-antenna-to-groin disaster. The slow browsing is annoying but to be expected, but prevents me from checking something *discreetly* during conversation with clients or friends without a major interruption. So close...argh! Also, I refuse to believe that the camera quality in average lighting conditions could not have been improved greatly at maybe another $1.00 per unit cost. Yes, it is basically a free bonus, but Handspring/Palm One should know better. And finally, a word on Sprint (since it's basically a part of the CDMA phone). I had a huge dispute a few years ago over dropped calls, mis-billing, and HORRIBLE service. ATTWS service wasn't a whole lot better but they tried to work with me at least. However, I was lured back to Sprint by the good performance/cost of the Vision network in metro areas and the Treo 600. Vision really is quite good; calling Sprint Billing or first-level support is still akin to shoving your head into a wood-chipper. Outright abusive. If you have problems, go to the Sprint store first. Do NOT do anything to your phone/account that cannot be fixed by the store tech. If you are going to twiddle with something else like changing your Sprint name or whatever, check the web boards and do it right the first time. Even though the phone part was working, data (Vision) was not for the first 3 weeks I had the Treo. Eventually figured out the hard reset/erase myself (using the TOP power button, not front BTW), and manually entered network settings given to me after finally reaching 3rd level Wireless Web support tech (nice guy - the only person at Sprint not afflicted with pathological hostility it seems). Wasted a total of 10 hours of my time on the phone with billing and front line support to get that info, and my account setup again (because I was a customer 4 years ago). Beware... and good luck!

Summary: Check yer facts, Matthew
Review: While my 5-star rating is "proforma" at this time (haven't purchased this yet, but I've based that on my opinion of the device from what I've read, minus my knowledge of Sprint coverage and customer service), I'm simply posting to let the previous reviewer know that this unit appears to provide a clock and call timer, as well as advanced display features such as "Group Conference." Check the owner's manual, which Amazon has conveniently provided for download.

Summary: What the Treo 600 is lacking
Review: What is this.....NO CLOCK?!?! I am almost ready to purchase a 600 and have read that there is no clock. Even my old Palm IIIc has a clock. And no call timer?!?!? Even the cheapest cells have timers. I have not yet determined if the phone will ring and vibrate at the same time, but I expect it will not based on the selector switch on the top.

Summary: Beware of Sprint's rebate promise to current customers
Review: Great multi-purpose features as both PDA and phone. Clear screen and quality feel to unit. Sprint verbally says if you are a current customer who has not changed service for 18 months that they will allow you to have the "new customer" rebate[s]. Beware! You must have purchased the phone from a Sprint "company" store to be eligible. This is a great phone, just a pity the service [or lack of] is Sprint.

Summary: $200 for a new phone number
Review: As a current Sprint customer without a lock-in contract, let me see if I understand the rebates. I need to be a new customer (or open a new account) to get the $200 rebate. So, I purchase the phone for $249.99 (using $150 and $200 rebate.) and cancel my existing service when the Treo arrives. Is this market research to determine if my existing phone number is worth more or less than $200 to me? If so, you've got the number about right, as I cannot make up my mind to take it or not...

Summary: Worth the wait...
Review: I got my Treo 600 5 days ago and couldn't be happier. Up until then I'd resisted buying a PDA and hauled my laptop around when on business...no more. The Treo 600 lets me travel light and keep in touch. I found it to very user friendly, functional and fast. Sometimes good things really do come in small packages!
