Palm Cell Phone Reviews

"non-touchscreen - versions of the Microsoft OS, but it is the first to use 6.1 Pro...In looks, the Pro rather resembles the Palm Centro, or rather a Centro that's been on a serious diet...At 114 x 60 x 13.5mm in size and weighing 133g, the Pro is a solid and decently sized device that sits well in the hand and is thin enough to be pocketed with ease..." read more »

"Feature-rich Comfortable keypad Sturdy build...A little sluggish...Just above the keypad you will find the start button, call and cancel keys, the five-way navigation pad and the open keys...But they never upgrade their multimedia components in their phone (like camera, music options etc...It is a basic feature of the business phones......" read more »

"Excellent capacitive touch screen that's vibrant...The OS is easy and fun to use with lots of eye candy...The Pre is very attractive, feels great in the...Keyboard isn't great, there are feature holes like no video camera, no on-screen keyboard and just about...Currently exclusive to Sprint in the US (it's also available in Canada on Bell), the Pre is the first iPhone contender that's actually in the same league...No, the Pre isn't perfect, but it's excellent..." read more »

"Great looking Extremely well made Very sturdy belt clip Tight solid fit...Small gap at top of the case (GSM models only) Price...protecting the 600 but has no provision for a belt clip and looks, well, cheap...top of the case above the screen (there are two models of the Treo 600, the GSM...It is a shame to some degree that the hard flip cover from the Treo 180/270/300 couldn’t have been somehow integrated into the 600’s design......" read more »

"Call quality on the Treo 680 was very good...While I do have some problems with the Palm OS crashing randomly and I had to spend an hour searching the web to figure out how to use gmail, overall it works well and I really like it..." read more »

"77% longer life than stock Treo 700 battery Comes with Sprint and Verizon doors...Makes 700 fatter ...problematic with cases and some cradles Spartan packaging Expensive...Here's the standard, stock Palm 1800mAh battery in my 700p with its door off...As you can see, there's just no way you're going to get the "UE" to stay put in a 700 with the stock battery door, so when you buy it, Seidio packs it with two replacement battery compartment doors, each..." read more »

"Great browser; will support GPRS in the future; good screen....Poor battery life; keyboard not very well integrated....At first glance the Treo 180 looks very much like a traditional Palm PDA...We found the stretch from the earpiece to the microphone slightly too far to be comfortable, with the result that you find yourself constantly shifting the phone around to try to get a good talk position...It's not that the Treo is a particularly bad device - far from..." read more »

"Sleek, compact design; speakerphone; full-featured PDA; world phone; GPRS upgradable....So-so battery life; no slot for adding additional memory; speaker could be louder....Tell us what you like about this product...Thank you for helping us maintain CNET's great community...Tell us what you don't like about this product......" read more »

"It isn't licensing that hurt Palm, it is their slow response to market needs and oversaturating the market with very similar devices -- most of which fell short of, again, meeting the needs of their customers...Palm's problems are a good indicator of why...And for everyone screaming for Apple to license PC clone makers, take a good, hard look at Palm..." read more »
