Summary: This product is a FIASCO!
Review: Same problem of the other people: the flip hinge has broken after only some months of gentle use.
I returned my phone for a repair and Palmone - damn they - charged me for a substitution. I was not happy with this but I accepted (damn me!). The Palm substitution model has a worst problem: after a while of a normal conversation, the full charged Palm shuts down for charging problems. Call back the call center for a money back but they won't give me back my money 'cause they repaired the original problem. Sigh! It is the last time I buy a Palm phone! Very Upset!

Summary: No support for Treo
Review: The Treo functions well as a phone PDA but Handspring has again stopped support for it the moment a new product is available. A known defect is the SIM cover door fall off and the spring inside loosens. As of six weeks ago there are no longer parts availale to fix this and Handspring will not honour the warrenty of 1 year on the product.It works well but without on-going support these products are a disaster waiting.

Summary: A giant leap BUT...
Review: This is a great combination of PDA and cell phone and I like it a lot. I have used it for nearly 4 months without any major problems. However, you have to understand that this is more PDA than cell phone. Anyone who's used a Palm will love this product as a PDA- it does all the things a palm will, with a full color screen, etc.
The phone functionality, while convenient overall, is another matter. First, you have to use both hands to make calls quickly- it's slow & error prone when using only one hand which means you can't really use the phone while driving. The navigation of screens, selecting the right number (esp. from the contacts list) is not easy. Second, the speakerphone- which was convenient to use when in a car- inexplicably died on me- it just stopped functioning sometime back. Third, the size/shape of the Treo makes it awkward to use as a phone without an earphone. Also it is not bluetooth enabled, so there's no easy way to get around this problem.
In summary, if like me, you are a PDA person who wants an additional phone functionality, this might just be the product for you. But if you use a cell phone often - I'd suggest you wait for a next generation phone (Treo 600 seems promising- but I don't know that for sure).

Summary: Handspring Treop 270
Review: This is a pretty cool product. I am not too excited about the flip part. Makes the phone a little big, but to have a my stuff fully integrated is awsome. The phone works great!

Summary: Love This Phone...except
Review: This is my second Treo 270 in less than a year. Not very forgiving when dropped and yes it does happen. Flip hindges have cracked both times. Not covered under warranty leaving me no choice but to pay $100. to get another "reconditioned phone". After almost a year of trying, long hours with tech support, email still not operating. Web browser little to be desired...very slow. PDA and Phone functions are incredible. Answer call waiting, conference call etc. are all prompted from the touch screen...very nice. Built in speaker phone allows talking and taking notes or looking up info. a breeze. Very multifuntional. Key board is great for SIMs. Using it in my real estate business has made my life a lot easier and more mobile. Uses: phone, calendar/schedular, contacts, calculator, SIMs (text messages), Sales Data, Remote MLS lookup.

Summary: Flip Hinges CRACK (Three of them)
Review: This phone is a great idea "in theory." However, I hold about 1000 contacts in the phone and it seams to "hang" the system quite often. Sometimes the phone will just stare at me without hanging up a call or placing the call. Kind of like when your PC hangs while its loading something. I have now gone through my third phone with the same problem. The hinge WILL crack slightly at first then completely. There is no way around it. It WILL crack everytime. In my opinion it was a pourly designed phone (Physically). I love the idea of having all of my MS Outlook contacts and calendar events on my phone/pda. However, this phone is not worth the aggravation. T-mobile is anything but helpfull when asking them to replace the phone. You just keep getting the same defective phone back. Ultimately it will break. Handspring just wants to push their new Treo 600 phone on you and won't do anything but replace the 270 with the same defective unit...that WILL break. I hate this phone.
