Summary: Great Phone and Service
Review: I recieved my new Sprint Phone in early December. Sprint helped me set up all the features I was looking for. Got the internet set up and I use it daily. I work in a factory that has 56 acres under roof. I can get service on my phone and internet until I reach the offices in the center of the main building. In my supervisors office, ( in the center of the main building) I can go to the doorway and get a signal good enough to surf the net.

My only complaint is that I was using a M/S operating system on my PDA and switching over to Palm Software will take some getting used to. I feel the Treo 600 should be featured with a program pre loaded with Word and Excel Features.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Treo 600 to anyone that can get a signal with Sprint PCS.

Summary: Everything is excellent except the Camera
Review: I recently purchased Hand spring Treo 600 and had been very pleased with all the features offered. I have since made full use of the emails, web search and all the add ons programs. However when come to taking pictures, I was very disappointed that it is not clear, it is hazy and not sharp and needs very bright light to be visible. Would the manufacturer please comment and how to improve the viewing and picture taking. Is this due to the .3 Mega pixel resolution and can this be upgraded?
Does some one else experience the same thing as me. I tried other G3 phones and the pictures are much clearer than the Treo 600.

Summary: Problem Phone, LOUSY AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE
Review: I was very excited when the opportunity came to switch my serice from Verizon to SprintPCS, until I had to deal with both of them. This phone is ok, when it works. The first phone Amazon sent me had a display screen which was way off center. No problem, Amazon replaced it. No problem except that I couldn't use the phone! This because for some reason SprintPCS opted to send every call from whatever cell I was in to m phone. My phone rings NON-STOP with calls that aren't mine. My voicemail is filled up EVERYDAY. This has been a problem since the end of December - no fix in sight. Then my second phone had a problem. Something came loose and is rattling inside. My SECOND bad phone from Amazon, only now they refuse to replace it, and want me to contact Sprint. Sprint wants $35 to replace this BRAND NEW phone with a refurished unit - after I've had an unusable phone for 30 days. Bottom line - HORRID customer Service from Amazon, don't switch from Verizon to SPrintPCS.

Summary: Fantastic all in one device
Review: Like many of you I have had a great experience right out of the box. I have only had the Treo 600 for a week, however I do not remember what life was like before it. The phone integration is great with Sprint, I live in a semi rural area and still get great reception. The web access while a little slow, is still usable while on the road. As for the email, I purchased Snapper Mail from www.snappermail.com and within minutes of installing it on my Treo I was email accesible with full use of attachments.(Sorry to sound like an ad there but it is that easy and that good). The camera while pretty weak is still very cool for setting up ringer images on your phone. The rest of the Palm functions are just like any other Palm device on the market but much faster. Even though I got the great rebate deal here at Amazon, I would say the Treo 600 is worth the full purchase price for shear convenience alone.

Summary: Device is great, Sprint is not
Review: I bought this device a week ago. It took me only one day to understand all its functions and get comfortable with it. It would have taken longer had I not been using a handspring visor for past couple of years. I liked the device and all the capabilities - I can trade stocks via ameritrade, read news from various sources, search google and send emails/IM, without having to worry about wires and a seating place. The keyboard is comfortable and although I never thought I would type a word without a typo, I was surprised how easy it is to type on that little keyboard. The camera is there to raise the price-tag IMO, as it is totally useless given the resolution and lighting requirements to use it effectively. So as a wireless PDA - it gets 9 on 10 on my scale.

Now for the bad part : Sprint. The $15 a month for unlimited wireless internet got me. Seeing that I would be using the internet features the most, I took Sprint service on that. Besides, being CDMA I thought it would run faster than other wi-fi services. I get full strength signal only when I am at the 5th floor of my office, in a room with glass walls. It is useless at my home, where one of my friends laughed quite hard when his call dropped a good number of times in couple of minutes. I am lucky to get a single strength signal at my home. I even tried stepping out of there, but no good - thanks to the cloud cover over Santa Clara which doesnt seem to go away any soon. I am waiting for sunny days to see how good it works. I am tied to a 2 year contract with Sprint due to my impulse purchase. So, if you want to buy the Sprint version, think again. I do not know anyone who has a non-sprint version of Treo 600, but I bet they are more happy than I am. My friends liked the device, and have plans to buy it soon. They sure wont buy the Sprint version after seeing my fate. When used with Sprint, its like a Ferrari, only with a Geo Metro engine to run on :)

Summary: The Best Phone / PDA Combo Hands Down.
Review: Whatever disadvantages you can find with this phone - it more than makes up with all it's advantages. I've been using it for a month now and I can't ever imagine being without it ever again.
Get the Krussel Case with non-swivel clip option - it's the best.

Summary: I LOVE THIS PHONE!
Review: My husband bought one first, and he loved it so much he bought one for me for Christmas. I absolutely love this phone. Not only do I only get to carry around ONE device instead of a phone and a plam pilot, it's easy to use and has some upgraded features from my palm m515. The color screen is better, and you have the option to change the system colors. The keyboard is a little clumsy, but easier to use than graffiti was. The phone itself works really well and I have no trouble hearing callers, which I used to with my old mobile phone. I like the mp3 player as well. We took this with us on a cross country flight, and enjoyed having the music to listen to without having to pack additional equipment. While the camera takes really low resolution pictures, my husband was able to take a picture while skiing at Squaw and email it to me with a "wish you were here" message, all without leaving the mountain. He also used it to "work from home" while in Tahoe, since he was able to access his work outlook exchange and take calls all without leaving the slopes.

This device is a must have and I highly recommend it. While it may have a few minor shortcomings, its usability and convenience make it a strong package overall and you can't go wrong with this phone.

Summary: design fault - the speaker
Review: The treo 600, like the older model, has a design fault in its speakers. If you are unlucky the speaker on the phone will stop working completely, usually after a week or so of distorted sound on calls. The only solution is to use the headset or turn on the loudspeaker function (assuming you don't mind everyone else hearing your call!). The company is aware of the problem (and so are customers - who are starting to complain on websites - which give advice about how to fix the problem by opening up the device and rewiring it - not a good idea I think.) Anyway, customers should keep pressuring the company to sort this out. The speakers it uses are cheap - unforgiveable in something this expensive. Customer service is terrible on this issue - robotic reps tell you repeatedly to reset the machine and seem not to have been told about the problem. My rep in Singapore has never returned a call. I had to go to head office (I am a journalist) to sort it out. Otherwise the 600 is very good. But Palm must deal with this, not ignore it.

Rating: 5 stars

Any advice would be great.
