Very good

7

out of 10

View score

The good: Sleeker design; integrated Bluetooth with the ability to use it as a wireless modem; more user-accessible memory; and email capabilities; bright touchscreen; productivity tools and is easy to use.

The bad: No integrated Wi-Fi nor does it support Palm's Wi-Fi card or voice dialing; disappointing VGA camera; QWERTY keyboard is a bit cramped; speakerphone quality is a bit scratchy.

The bottom line: With a user-friendly interface, decent performance, and an affordable price point, the Palm Treo 680 is a good smart phone for the first-time buyer or for mobile users looking to be more productive on the road; we just wish it had a better camera and Wi-Fi support.

first PDA phone and enjoying it

Sep 23, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: simple to use, easy to learn the short cuts
Cons: lousy battery life
Opinion:
I took a long time to decide which PDA to get as my first try. And eventually still settled for this Treo. I insisted on not getting a WM OS PDA as I have seen too many issues on it by my many friends who hate WM yet loves the gadgets that uses it. It's a love and hate thing for them. I rather take things simple and use Palm OS for my daily schedules, task, memos and calendar events.

Asides from the lousy lousy battery lfie, I am very ahppy using Treo 680.

It a fun start!

Almost perfect

Apr 18, 2008

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Sleek, user friendly, great keyboard, good sound
Cons: Camera, wifi, battery
Opinion:
This is a great phone actually. I'm using it actually and its been with me for the past 7 months but few things should have been added to it to make more perfect i would say. Taking a closer look at it i mean there should have been wifi atleast or 3G instead of the EDGE/GPRS. It has all the good qualities of a good PDA phone ignoring the camera resolution but connectivity is a must these days
