Palm Treo 680 review
Fantastic keyboard, great PIM functions for the price...Steep UI leaning curve, poor outdoor screen usability, lack of high-speed data...The Palm Treo 680, though not too different from its older brother the 650, really is a great entry-level smartphone...The Treo 680 will also appeal to long time Palm OS users, those not looking to get a 700p, and indeed even...

Touchscreen smartphone Qwerty keyboard Full suite of software...No built-in Wi-Fi Lacks 3G operation Low resolution of camera...It is a good two years since the last Palm OS Treo handset arrived in the UK, and casual watchers could have been forgiven that we had seen the back of it on the Treo range...But the Treo 680 shows that reports of its demise have been...
