Handspring Treo 300 Handheld

Pros: OS, phone integration, thumb pad
Cons: Using as a hand held phone

Do you want a phone or PDA. I used my Palm V non stop an hated carrying it and a phone. I only made a few calls a day so decided to get the Treo. Good decision, one unit only a little thicker than the old Palm. It is a great PDA and I took to the thumb...

Pros: Unlimited ways to personalize your SmartPhone, Price, Sprint Service, modem
Cons: Battery life No Bluetooth built in

This phone is the bomb-diggity. The longer you have it the better it gets. Start with the bad... a ...

Pros: PDA ability, tic-tac keyboard adequate, durability.
Cons: Reception, keyboard algorithms, form-factor for lenghty phone to ear use.

This phone is a Palm PDA and cell-in-one. I've been using it for a year now (had the opportunity to upgrade to the 600 but decided not to).

The battery life is good on this phone but the overall reception I find is lacking over other phones (the antenna is very small and does not extend). Reception seems volatile. The tic-tac keyboard is adequate for me (I have large hands for a woman & short nails -- I do fine). I would think a woman or man with any fingernail length would have a tougher time navigating the keyboard. I find some of the key combo algorithms a little annoying (using the numeric keys with the function key).

I like the Treo 300 more as a PDA and less as a phone. The design is not very ergonomic and holding the unit to your ear for any length of time can be cumbersome. This unit does better with a headset.

For it's cool gadget factor -- it is worth it. Durable, configurable and handy.

Pros: It has A keyboard,phone,color screen
Cons: It is not to good of a color screen

The treo/handspring Is already a good palm with a good color screen and it is a phone.It also has a keyboard and
It is not that much more than a m100 there are cell phones that cost more than that.The m100 or even the m150 are about as much as the handspring and the m100 is not color.

Pros: Great combination of PDA and phone
Cons: The flip piece (the earphone) breaks and shorts out.

Great idea for a phone/pda, but I've had two and both of them have failed in the real life test. The first one broke in two at the hinge for the flip phone, the second one shorted out so that the earphone didn't work.

If I was hard on phones, I'd be a little more forgiving, but I don't even use it that much. Basically, if you plan on cradling the phone to your ear, don't consider the Treo 300.

Pros: Nothing worth noting given flip lid problem.
Cons: FALTY FLIP LID.

While I love most of what I got in buying the Treo 300, I am having to return my Treo every 3 to 6 months due to a falty flip lid. It appears that there is a serious flaw in its design as it consistently breaks. It appears to be a systemic problem per conversations with others including sales reps at the local Sprint store. I did not pay $400 for a PDA to be hassled with having to return it for a "new" factory rebuilt Treo every 3 to 6 months. Sprint will not refund my money although they have been very attentive and empathetic to my situation. All that they are willing to do is replace with another rebuilt Treo. I am on my 3 such replacement and I have owned the Treo 300 for a little more than a year.

Buyer beware.

Pros: Speaker phone, 50 number speed dial, Weekly planner,phone book, solitaire, medical dictionary & more.
Cons: the internet is full color but clarity sucks

I love this PDA/Phone. I have checked out alot of and this one is the most useful yet. Since I had the Treo I have thrown away my weekly planner, my phone book, my pocket solitaire game, my calculator, my note pad and m,y medical dictionary. The treo is all that and a bag of chips !!!

i puchased this phone about 3 months after it came out. the sprint pcs store agents mislead me to think i could access any website. after one replacement, a high level tech, educated me that i could only view "mobile user" websites. both phones were returned promptly. it took sprint pcs 3 billing cycles and about 15 supervisors to correct all billing issues.

This is by far the best phone, PDA, and web device made yet. I have been surprised at Sprints quality of cell service and competitive rate plans. The PDA is Palm-based and everything from my old Palm Vx transferred over seemlessly. Now I never have to re-enter phone numbers into my phone & palm. It synchronizes easily to my Mac. I love it!

Really a slick offering except for the con mentioned above. I worked around this by creating an account on my personal ATTBI with an auto format to a SPRINTPCS email so that I would be notified when a new e-mail came in. Battery is sucked quickly when using the web. Great tool, though. I'm impressed. Fortunately, my company is paying for mine!
