Handspring Treo 300: The Ultimate (2002) Cellphone

by Ed.Williamson Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Dec 16 '02
Pros: A veritable plethora of mind-boggling techno-jollies
Cons: Expensive but weigh the cost and it is well worth it in the long run.
I had been having a running battle within my mind for a long time as to whether or not to get a PDA (Personal Data Assistant). All my experiences with PDAs up until recently were frustrating enough that I stayed with my Day-Timer paper organizer. A ...

Handspring Treo 300 - Ack... Not Quite The Smartest Phone.

by soupcraze Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Feb 03 '04
Pros: Design, QWERTY keyboard, Cell phone performance
Cons: Everything else...
I love the Sprint PCS network, it offers so much. With Sprint PCS Vision, you can have the internet in the palm of your hand. By using a PDA device, you can take the most advantage out of this. I've seen some of the Smart Phone performers on the Sprint ...

Treo 300: It grows on you...

by chenmyu , Aug 21 '02
Pros: Compact size, speakerphone, voice quality
Cons: Difficult navigation, screen lighting, need for stylus + keyboard
Ok, I'm an early adopter and when the treo 300 came out for use on the Sprint network, I had to get it. In the past, I was using a Sprint Touchpoint phone which was about 2" x 1" x 1" and had the most intuitive phone menu around--making the standard for...

Nice PDA - Terrible Phone

by CreamChief , Sep 30 '02
Pros: Nice screen, 16MB, built in keyboard
Cons: Sprint, sprint, sprint
Okay, so the phone itself, as a phone, is not really that bad, but, being that it is a phone on the Sprint Vision network, it is barely worth considering as a phone. Ah, so what is wrong with Sprint you might ask at this point. Great question - check out...

This is the future

by sukim , Apr 22 '03
Pros: the ultimate communication device, integration with outlook, cutting edge programs
Cons: low battery life, clunky flip lid, expensive
Intro
I split my time between 3 metro areas for my work (LA, New York & Las Vegas), and needed a way to keep in touch with my business and personal contacts 24 hours a day via email, instant messaging, text messaging & phone. The Treo 300 is...

My favorite new toy

by jdstevenson , Apr 15 '03
Pros: Perfect small combination of phone and organizer. And opens up interesting new possibilities.
Cons: No memory expansion. No GPS. Single band (no cell roaming). Sprint support blows.
Every so often you make a purchase that turns out to go beyond your expectations. My Treo easily falls into that category. It lets me do things I didn't even think about when I first bought it... And that makes it both useful and fun.

Definitely worth it

by phillyjgs , Mar 08 '03
Pros: Combo PDA, phone, internet & email
Cons: No expandable memory, Sprint (depends on your location)
This product is probably the ultimate in gadgetry out there right now. For those of us who dislike carrying multiple items (pda, phone, beeper) and like to remain connected (at least to our email at ANY time and at ANY place) then you should look at the...

Nice device but shop around first

by net_wizard , Feb 26 '03
Pros: all in one device, color, speakerphone, Palm OS, keyboard
Cons: pricey; no email, voice-recording or expansion slots; battery
I had the Treo 300 for about three months now and am satisfied with. I got this device for free from Sprint PCS as a replacement for an older PDA phone but the list price ($499) is definatly pretty high.

I am computer person and had a PDA of...

A small business owner's best friend . . .

by tempo02 , Sep 12 '03
Pros: Packs a lot into a small device, easy to use, relatively inexpensive.
Cons: Phone can be cumbersome due to size, not many accessories to add on.
How does a small business operate in today's financially unstable markets? Given the technological advances in today's world it makes perfect sense to cut out the excessive overhead that once plagued many companies. I'll explain how the Treo 300 solves ...

Amazing electronic functionality, Achilles flip lid.

by amidship , Mar 13 '04
Pros: Excellent phone, PDA, web and email fusion for the road warrior. Sprint's support is improving.
Cons: Flip lid design flaw causes chronic lid breaks. Don't consider without Sprint's replacement coverage.
I've had my Treo 300 for nine months now. It is truly an excellent performer, but only electronically. The only downside there is that it's not Javascript enabled, so there's a functional wall you hit when you're using its otherwise robust web ...

Perfect for those who are tired of carrying two devices

by mitch528 , Jan 30 '03
Pros: Small size, consolidates Palm and phone for those who have both
Cons: Big price tag
I have had my Treo300 for about two weeks, and I LOVE it. I don't regret the $450 purchase one bit. For those of you looking into getting one, check out the review at www.the-gadgeteer.com/treo300-review.html - That's what convinced me to buy....

Great functionality. Lousy design with manufacturing defect.

by sio7 , Nov 02 '03
Pros: - Reasonable size and form factor for phone/PDA combo - Keyboard as primary input!!!
Cons: Manufacturing/design defect cause breakage. Weak battery life.
Went through four Treo 180s and on my third Treo 270 within the last 15 months. The reasons shall be explained shortly. I love using this phone/pda as it gives me nearly everything that I really need in a phone/pda combo. Of course being based on the o ...

The Treo and Meo are in Love...

by conradnostromo , Jan 27 '03
Pros: Good concept: simple PDA, Cell, WEB - just what I wanted.
Cons: Sprint PCS Vision package alone does not include "true" email.
I thought about what I wanted in a PDA Web Cellphone and this product comes very close. Here's what I wanted from the PDA part: just a PDA that I can keep lots of info, USB connectivity and sync, an installed base of freeware, and do 95% of the things I...

Great choice for Sprint PCS Vision users

by wombat2 , Aug 26 '03
Pros: One device takes the place of your cell phone and PDA
Cons: Big for a cell phone. PDA power users may want more horsepower
I sold my iPAQ and bought this item when I decided that Sprint may never get their act together and ...

Miserable Phone and Battery Life

by junlei_dance , Jun 17 '05
Pros: slick look (deceiving) and good pda/phone intergration.
Cons: miserable battery life, constant resets, fragile body, worthless!
We had the worst experience with the TREO 300. Previously used a Kyocera 6035 until baby poured milk over it. So, we are excited about a TREO 300 acquired for $100 at a warranteed ebay seller. It looks good and had a few good reviews. Immediately, ...
