I cut my ISP service after I got this phone from Sprint.

by stockyjoe , Oct 01 '02
Pros: The best communicator on the market. Access the world in the palm of your hand.
Cons: 1)No expansion slots for storage. 2)No memory upgrade slot. 3)Battery inaccessible.
I saw this phone on display when I was shopping for a new cell provider (my current contract has expired...finally!). Being a Palm PDA user, I was familiar with the technical specs. The phone came with 16mb of RAM (which is more than enough for an...

Smart Phone, pda and phone in one.

by os2doc , Jul 16 '04
Pros: one device, two functins. currently very reasonable for a pda nad phone!
Cons: thumb keyboard, no graffiti, but upgradable.
I got tired of carrying around a phone, and a pda. Plus, I invariably had to use both at the same time. As phones are such a pain to put numbers into, I would only keep my essential nubmers in the phone, and all others in my hand held. If you could ...

A so-so first try

by wa2bux , Nov 30 '02
Pros: Nice integration of Palm Pilot, Phone. Handy to browse the web on the go
Cons: The thing is buggy and clearly first generation - not ready for prime time
I've been waiting for a palm/phone integration for as long as there have been Palm devices and cellphones around, so when my AT&T contract was up, buying this thing was a natural. Well, almost - $500 was quite a bit of change, even for a Palm and a...

Great Palm phone, poor build quality, good for Internet

by arshad , Jan 15 '04
Pros: Palm OS sync, color screen, great Internet connectivity, easy to use keyboard
Cons: Poor build quality, could have better pre-installed software.
Despite its poor build quality, I've found this phone indispensable, and haven't wanted a different one. The main reason I wanted it was the Palm OS - it worked with all of my legacy palm information from years ago, and I know how Palm desktop works. I ...

Treo worth the money

by facci7 , Feb 09 '03
Pros: All-in-One, Web, 3rd party applications, functionality.....
Cons: on the big side,
I've read a lot of reviews here about this phone/pda. I've owned it for about 2 months now. I switched from Nextel to Sprint in hopes of eventually getting the Treo. I was worried due to hearing lots of bad things about Sprint service but to this day I...

Great functionality, pathetic mechanical design (lid will break)

by drcontrol , Nov 18 '03
Pros: Screen, keyboard, phone UI, ease of use
Cons: Did I mention the pathetic flip lid?
I bought this device from a friend who had just upgraded to a Treo 600. Lucky him! Although the ergonomics are definitely in the "I can't decide whether to be a phone or a PDA" style, the Treo scores well on interface and functionality. The speed dial ...

Treo good idea but...

by npronpro , Dec 10 '02
Pros: nice thumb keyboard for short messaging; one-handed use for initiating a call; useful quick dialing
Cons: power/data port is very vulnerable and two power pins easily bent
The fatal flaw in this product is the slot on the bottom of the phone where you insert either the data sharing or power male pins. Even with careful use it is almost impossible to avoid bending a pin and then Sprint says you have voided the warranty and...

Great at first, but eventually falls apart

by mactin , May 08 '03
Pros: Convenient, fast internet access
Cons: Flip-lid will break at hinge, paint comes off
Everything was great during the first 5 months after I payed $550 for this phone. Then, three days ago, the flip lid on the Treo completely broke apart while I opened it to take a call. I am completely gentle with the phone, and it turns out that...

Good phone/organizer combo

by lpaskus , Nov 07 '02
Pros: Good phone/organizer combo
Cons: No Bluetooth or voice recognition
Initially I used a Treo 270 with TMobile service. Due to TMobile's lack of coverage and poor quality, I switched to a Treo 300 with Sprint.
I am very happy with this product. It actually functions well as a cell phone / PDA / internet access device...

good buy for $500

by pakamat , Dec 19 '02
Pros: easy to handle, compact, nice features
Cons: Has a known issue. Resets itself when low on memory, checked with sprintPCS to confirm
- the good thing is it uses PALM OS, so you can find a lot of utilities to use with the handspring
- the web service is preety fast so thats a plus point!
- you see the websites just as you would see it on a PC...awesome!
- only thing that...

treo 300

by setlowhound , Jan 13 '03
Pros: None
Cons: Will not operate many 3rd party software titles. No support
I purchased the TREO 300 to combine my Palm and cell phone. I use the Palm for medical software, and it will not operate some of my most used applications. Specifically, if will not run Epocrates. I tried to contact Handspring and they do not support...

Treo 300: Right Device, Wrong Cellular Partner

by bfshea , Nov 09 '05
Pros: Fantastic "all-in-one" design that does all things right. Great functionality!
Cons: Horrific customer service/support through Sprint. And it's built to break!
I bought my Treo 300 back in December. I must say within the first day of owning it, it became "the device from Heaven" -- answering all my prayers about what I needed/wanted in a cellular/PDA device. Last week, while answering a call, the...

3rd day review

by hocndoc , Nov 16 '02
Pros: Portable email and web in the phone. Good color, visiblity. Adequate memory for this week
Cons: I want smaller, prettier, sturdier and more memory
I've had my Treo 300 for almost 48 hours, and am still learning. The learning process is not that bad for this machine: no worse than any other new phone. It may be easier, since I was able to beam my old address book from my prior Palm V.
The...

TREO 300

by karco , Nov 27 '02
Pros: Easy use, light, KEYBOARD, Sprint is GREAT, IR sync. GREAT COMBO
Cons: Screen could be better. Takes a few days to get used to. Miss Graffiti.
It took a few days to get used to the keyboard, but nothing major. This is great for the cell phone/pager/pda carrying person. I find that I use my PDA more often as it is now with me ALL THE TIME.

Surfing the net is great. No, it's not my...

Cons: Large when open and used as a phone, Batteries not removable, limited carrying case options
