Conclusion Compared to other non Palm Powered Smartphones
it offers enhanced PDA functionality and a huge catalogue of applications.
Compared to other networked Palm Powered devices it offers a level of
integration that cannot be matched. When you need the Treo 600 to be a phone it
is a phone, when you need it to be a PDA it is a PDA. Previous products have all
been a phone or a PDA first, the Treo 600 manages to be 100% PDA and 100% Phone
at the same time.
Moving beyond breaking the laws of statistics
is the Treo worth the money? PDA wise the Treo 600 compares well with the Sony
TG-50. The Treo has more memory and cheaper expansion, the TG-50 has a better
screen and a slightly faster processor. Phone wise the Treo 600 compares well
with the Sony-Ericsson T610. If you can get a contract for the Treo 600 that
costs you less than these two devices then you are looking at good value. In the
UK the Treo 600 can be found on the internet for as little as £99 with a £25 per
month contract, which makes it the cheapest Palm OS 5 device presently
available.
The Treo 600 is mature technology. Lessons have
been learnt from previous Treo's and from other devices on the market.
Handspring have worked hard and delivered the goods; let's hope that as part of
PalmOne they continue that trend.
