    I just bought a Treo 600 today..any good?

    I finally bought a Treo 600 today. Got it from Ebay for about $250.

    Are they any good?

    I keep hearing mixed signals from people. some say they suck because of the Palm OS. Others say that the hardware is great!

    I also saw recently that they are coming out with a new Windows OS for the Treos but I dont know if the 600's will be able to use it. I'm sure it will but not possitive.

    Anyone have one with some feedback?

              Well, in order for me to get a Blackberry I would have to switch carriers and I dont want the hassle.

              I bought it cheap and will have it in a couple days. Guess I'm just looking for info on other peoples experiences.

                  250? heh ... you know the treo 650 has been out for quite some time right you should have spent a few more hundred and gotten it, along with insurance ( did you get insurance on it?).

                  when the 700 (i think thats the model #) hits the market supposedly around christmas, your 600 will be old as dirt. and i can probably guarantee you won't be able to upgrade to the windows os, and i dont see why palm would do this anyhow considering they have their own os.

                  make sure you dont sit on your treo though. i had my 650 in my back pocket at internext sat down in a cab, and some of the buttons got stuck. well i couldnt get them "unstuck" and it was a pain in the ass getting the key lock off. i had to get a new phone.

                      I would look at a Treo650 or a PocketPC(Jam, or with a keyboard the PPC 6600 from sprint or verizon)

                          I really don't plan to use it like a Bible.
                          I just want a phone and something I can use to check emails and instant message.

                          If it does that well, it's money well spent for me.

                          Maybe a game or two. hehe

                              pocket pc phones 0wn palm phones. if you aren't a power user, the 600 will do the trick though.

                              the treo 670 will have windows mobile software, which is years ahead of palm os. since the treo is pretty cool looking with a nice form factor, i might get one and sell my 6600

                                  why would you buy the 600 when the 650 has been out for a while and is way better?

                                              I know that you said that you can't use a Blackberry, but for phone, email, and IM, it really is the best handheld that I've used, and I've used them all.

                                              I don't mind the Treo, but it's heavy and large enough to make it a little uncomfortable and I personally found the keys a little hard to touch-type on. The Palm OS and software isn't bad, but I like the simple, clean interface on the Blackberry. Bottom line for me was that the Blackberry was a solid, rugged unit with an inset screen that stands up to 24x7 use.

Just be glad you didn't spend the extra loot not since the next version (700) is definitely something to spend money on.

                                                                                  and DON'T upgrade to the windows mobile treo 670, it will suck major penis. i don't think i could use my current windows mobile pda as a phone ever, let a lone a contact manager or scheduler.
