I recently purchased a Treo 600 for T-Mobile. I had been using a Microsoft powered Smartphone but had found it had limited features and would not sync with my Act! contact management software.
I am hooked! I am already planning to upgrade to the new Treo 650 when they come out for T-Mobile. It does absolutely everything. I have third party software, Chatter, that automatically pushes email to my phone using an IMAP connection. I can send email and SMS text messages easily because of the Qwerty keyboard.
It also has a calendar (which syncs with Act!), address book, voice recorder, digital camera, MP3 player and more. I even found a third part SSH app so I can administer my servers from the GPRS internet connection on the phone.
I was originally skeptical about it because I thought the size might make me feel like I was holding a PDA up to my ear instead of a phone, but the Treo is very small and light so it feels very much like a phone and not a PDA.
If you need a phone and Palm powered device, get the Treo. You’ll be surprised how much more productive you will be.
Are you running ACT 2005 on your Treo 600? I looking to upgrade from ACT 6.0 and have been trying to find someone who is using it successfully prior to purchase. Thanks in advance for your response.
Well, I’m not running Act! for Palm but am running ActLink for Palm which syncs all the Act! databases to the Palm calendar, contacts, to-do, etc. I also use TakePhone and a few other programs on my phone which really help me find info faster.
