Handspring Treo 600

Designed for serious handheld users, the Handspring Treo 600 packs all the features into a very portable solution.

Handspring - Treo 600 Orange

It is not easy to produce a device that functions well as both a phone and a PDA. Many have tried, but few have come as close to success as Handspring has done with the Treo ...

This review contains a fair few negative comments, but looking at the Treo 600 as a whole it does function well as both a PDA and a phone, bearing in mind the inevitable compromises that have had to be made. If you don't need the larger screen and...
