This has probably been asked to death but I think I may decide on getting the treo. Does anyone have it? Thoughts?

I have the Treo 650 for VZW, & it's the Cat's Pajama's as far as I'm concerned!!! I have used Palms OS for a while now, & it is good.

If you do end up getting one, you will want to spend $9 for a program called VolumeCare, so the phone has great volume. I posted about it previously in the Palm section here.

good luck!!!

HTH...

best smartphone by far
excellent battery life
like wiggy said get volume care
I also bought a launcher called zlauncher
but a must have if you don't have a data plan ( i don't)
is battery dr- if your phone tries to connect to the data network it will disconnect automatically saving major $$$$$)
it is useful if you plan to use mms because it will connect you to the data network.
If you don't want to use picture messaging then just set up a dummy account under network preferences

I love my treo 650!!!!

to get ringtones you can do one of two things
midi's can be loaded if they are emailed/ downloaded.
mp3's can be used but you need pocket tunes which is $$$$ and other software like treoguard?
check out this site www.treocentral.com
you can play videos/movies on it to there is a program called tcmp that is free.
its great

so i'd have to email a song to my phone or something to be able to change the ringtones? that kind of sucks...

What about aim? Do i have to pay $20 to download it?

zamboni77 · 08-22-2005, 7:35 AM

I think you need a program called verichat to do im's.
what sucks about the treo is that features like voice dialing, vm alerts, should have been built into the phone.
it really isn't a 300.00 phone- add a case which is around 25-100, then a screen protector, extra styli, programs- it adds up real fast

ive noticed that accessories are pricey for the phone... i need to get at least a screen protector before mine gets scratched... any recommendations? i saw one on that site you said to check out but it was $15.... for a damn screen protector??

zamboni77 · 08-22-2005, 1:14 PM

it was for 3 of them and they are worth it...some cost more
it is not the cheap one that comes with the device, but a thicker one, and you can't even tell that its there
I also got a horizontal pouch case (bellagio) and the pacific rim styli w/ pen.

as long as its better than the one that comes with the phone then thats cool. The one that comes with the phone is crap. I'll order the screen protectors today. Do you know of any sites that have cute covers for the palm?

Yes yes im very girly.
