Treo 650 Looks Good
March 15th, 2005 Posted in Main Page
I’ve been playing around the Treo 650 for the past few days, and been quite impressed. In many respects, it's a big move to the all-in-one device I want to carry around. While far from perfect, it has some appealing features: a good Web browser, calendar, contacts, MP3 player and telephone. As a long-time Blackberry user, the Treo's e-mail system is not as good but it seems fine for people who like mobile e-mail but don't see it as a must-have. Before jumping on the Treo bandwagon, I'd have to think about the cost of buying a Treo, the monthly service fees, and whether it's supported by my company’s corporate e-mail server. But all in all, it’s a nice wireless device.

Mark, I've used a 600 for over a year and a half and just upgraded to the 650 (see my post at http://www.irwinlazar.com). My corporate e-mail server supports IMAP, so I can use the Treo without any problems though I do highly recommend scrapping the built-in Versamail and instead buying Snappermail (www.snappermail.com), it is a far superior e-mail client.

I've been using Snappermail on the 600 for a while and it is terrific.
