It's been updated, and my initial euphoria has dampened. In June of 2004, I traded my cell phone up--way up. I went from the Samsung A500 to a very brief affair with the Hitachi... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~163059175044 Fri, 26 Nov 2004 17:59:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_163059175044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_161937657476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jasonrit - I'm really sorry I bought this, although it does place very very clear, crisp telephone calls. My first unit was defective. Originally, Handspring suggested it was my service provider. When the unit finally failed, it was clear that the Treo was at... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~161937657476 Wed, 17 Nov 2004 00:03:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_161937657476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_143232437892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pippadaisy - Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. That's been the story of my life with cell phones, always getting old hand-me-downs from everyone else.

Critics agree that the Treo 600 is a major hit (and much needed) for palmOne. So how good is this highly praised marvel really, and should you run out to get your own?

It's a cell phone, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and digital camera all-in-one. Don't throw away your other gadgets just yet, at least not before checking with your bank that your account has sufficient funds!

The GSM version comes off as virtually flawless in function. The only major impact would be on your wireless provider's coverage.

I get complaints from people I talk to about noises. My receiver has stopped working and now I have to use the speaker phone (which sounds horrible) or an ear piece!
