Hi Everyone,
This is the best phone/ mini computer combination the world has seen yet (Aug 2005)

I got mine last June, still I am crazy about this beauty. For the best experience with specially a Treo like mini computers these are the basics guys.

Right away out of the box I know we are so eager to play with it but plz DO NOT do any fancy things at first. Do not install any additional software (be wowed you have at least 10000 software title at your disposal and growing for Treo)or sync it with the Palm desktop software right away.

Just USE it as any other standalone ORDINARY PHONE for couplla days. Make calls, take calls, browse the net if possible, add, delete, cut a few contacts, memos, tasks whatever you please but all with the software comes pre-installed. Do not transfer your old PIM data either if you had had another old Palm.

Live with your SIM contacts for couplla days. Don't get me wrong on this. This is the best phone/ mini computer in the world and treat it like one. Above is the proven best way to eliminate the phones which has come with manufacture defects or any other software conflicts if you get any.

When you are absolutely sure that your new Treo phone is working like a phone only you start adding stuff and sync with the desktop. Get and install the latest firmware (1.28 at least). And stick with your most comfortable settings.

Get a at least 1GB SD card so this can be a movie machine. Get TCPMP Player here (http://mytreo.net/downloads/details-651.html?The_Core_Pocket_Media_Player) and This is the only phone I know which can play below all. Be wowed again.

Current support includes ISO MPEG-4 (DivX and XviD), H.263, MS-MPEG4-v3, MP3, Matroska container, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG-1, MJPEG, ADPCM, ALaw, MuLaw, AAC, Musepack, GSM AMR audio, AC3, MPEG1/2, MPEG4 with GMC/QPEL), MPEG4-v1/v2/v3, Sorenson 3, AVC (aka h.264), etc

DO NOT put unknown alien software to your working Treo even later. Go here, http://pluggedin.palmone.com , register yourself and gett a Treo Simulator for your model. Try unknown software with it first on the computer.

Read http://mytreo.net There are tons of info for your Treo.

And believe me, I have played with it, have tried a thousand of apps and my darling works like a charm.

This is the best phone world has seen yet unless the little clunky big part. So you couldn't possibly go wrong if you buy one.

So happy Treoing everyone....

        Wow! This phone is great in concept and horrid in execution...I've had two and both had full share of issues already noted in blogs in 2005...soft-boots, hard-boots, lost data (requiring resyncing to desktop or laptop, which means forget traveling without your laptop for more than a day or two because it will surely crash!), camera that didn't work...I undertsand these issues are not part of Verizon Treo 650, but cingular offers international use, a must for me)...IF PalmOne could stabilize this device and eliminate the need to re-boot/re-synce every few days, then they would have a true winner! One note Palm...I've been told by more than one of your reps that there was a compatibility issue with Cingular/AT&T network...Why did you EVER bring this phone out without resolving that first?! The market prestige you will lose will offset the profits you are making in the long-run! Poor decision!!! Also note Palm, please allow users to have total control over menus in phone and main screen...speed-dial needs to accomodate more than one contact per letter as well...
        In summary, I gave it two trys with two different 650s and I've had enough headaches! I'm going elsewhere after years of using Palm PDAs! Hope the "670" (or whatever replaces the 650) is completely tested (successfully) before bringing out to market!!!!! May come back some day...You'll have to earn it though!

                I waited and bought the TREO 650 for its bluetooth capability over the TREO 600 and its ability to work with ACT! Contact Management Database software. It does not work well with ACT!. Should I go back and downgrade to a TREO 600 and do without bluetooth?. I've heard the Blackberry's don't work well with ACT. I have 3,500 contacts that I would like to have on my TREO 650 or something similar. Your expert thoughts appreciated.

                          My friend has this phone and it is huge. It is funny u could see his jeans coming down from one side because of the weight of this brick. Still it hs many features but normal people really dont need this. It is only business men or people who have business networked to the world wide web.

                              almost perfect???
                              there are still lots of available pda's to choose from...
                              and this one?...it's like buying a HEADACHE!

                              ok,you may upgrade your firmware...
                              still the applications are incomplete.
                              sad thing is that you have to buy the softwares you like...that costs much,with bugs or even no activation code.

                              some fones has it all like SE P910 or nokia 6680..the one i'm using now cause treo 650 really dissapointed me. imagine the cost i've spent for a Headache! someone purchased my unit for a cheaper price of $535.

                              i am calling the attention of palmOne...i need to hear your side please.

                              lastly, i heard palmOne is changing their brandname to One? is that true?

                              Don't use One, why not try Second, Third, Fourth.....i'm really angry!

                                Its interesting I have been waiting for this Phone to come along for so long.I can say I was impressed with it when I first got it,but after a couple of weeks I was getting prepared to send Palm hatemail for producing a great piece of hardware with such shocking software.My phone suffered form every Problem i have read about on line.The resets,the phone switching off,constant soft resets,Bad blue tooth connections poor reception bad phone call volume.I downloaded every fault from the opinion pages and printed copies off, took them to the people I had purchased the phone off as proof that it was not just my phone.They sent it off to palm who loaded the very latest firmware for a GSM unlocked which according to the web site had just become available which was 1.13.My phone came back 1.14 The phone is almost perfect now.

                                  ringo pro rings 5 seconds only of the assigned ringtone...why not the whole music/mp3?
                                  much better to dispose treo 650 and wait for the improved one!
                                  hello palmone..your attention please!

                                    To get your ringtone associated with an individual in your address book, you need ringo pro or mring.

                                      i've already disposed mine at greenhills (while on fire)last saturday for 30,000 peso/$535s after using it for 5 days. i can not stand the constant resets every now & then and you have to buy softwares to satisfy your needs. i bought Photo resco viewer for $18 at palmfocus but to my dismay, it has no activation code. no attention was given when i e-mailed them.
                                      switched to n6680 instead. now i have no more worries!

                                        How do I get a ringtone I recorded associated with an individual in my contacts rather than the standard ringones?
