Compatible with Sprint cell phone service, the Handspring Treo
600 offers all the functionality of a high-end PDA, cell phone,
a backlit QUERTY keyboard, and a digital camera all in a single
device.
As a phone, the 800/1900 MHz Treo provides a built-in one-touch
speakerphone feature, a mute button and caller ID, plus a few
other snazzy features. For example, you can slide the ringer
switch on the top of the phone, and it instantly puts the phone
in silent mode, so there's no more wading through screen menus
in the dark before the movie starts.
And, by typing in initials or a name into the keyboard, you can
dial anyone in your Contacts list instantly. The keys have a
special ergonomic dome shape, designed to be extra
thumb-friendly. Plus there are tons of single and double key
shortcuts you can use to launch Palm applications, up to 25 at
once. But, if you're set in your ways with your PDA, you can
always forego the keyboard and simply use the screen dial pad
and stylus.
For your PDA needs, the Treo sports 32 MB of RAM (24 MB
user-available), plus a calendar and Palm OS organizer (version
5.2.1H), with the standard features such as Contact List, Memo
Pad, To Do List, and more. You also get 24 MB of available
memory to hold additional Palm OS software applications of the
thousands that are available, such as MP3 players. When you sync
up, the Treo 600 provides one-touch transfer of your Contacts to
your PC's Outlook.
"Blazer", the 600's color browser, gives you fast
access to the Web, including sites not optimized for the mobile
internet, so you can lets you track your stocks, read headlines,
and get directions, plus entertain yourself with downloadable
ring tones and pictures.
You can also download Palm OS software applications directly to
your phone, and enjoy access to wireless email. (Email service
plan not included). Plus, you can send and receive SMS text
messages to other phones or to any email address, and keep track
of the conversation with threaded messaging.
You can even attach photos to your text messages. The Treo 600's
built-in 640 x 480, 0.3 megapixel digital camera makes it easy
to take and send the photos back to your PC, use them in text
messages, or as picture caller ID by attaching the pictures to
corresponding people in the contacts list.
Everything in the Treo 600 is integrated, so it's easy to
perform multiple tasks like checking your calendar while talking
on the phone or dialing calls directly from your contacts list.
The handy design also provides a cell phone-like, 5-way
navigation button, and the easy-access Favorites screen for the
built-in Web browser.
Other features of the Treo 600 include Contact List with Instant
Lookup, a calendar, MMS/Picture Mail, Memo Pad, an Advanced
Calculator, CityTime world clock, Palm Desktop 4.1 software for
Windows and Macintosh, HotSync Manager, link to Microsoft
