Good Points

THE device, if u'r looking for GSM+Palm-based PDA. Form factor/functionality ratio is astonishing.


Bad Points

Battery life was causing probs until I bought car charger... :-)


General Comments

I was using Palm PDA long before Treo arrived.
I was trying to 'marry' my Palm w my Nokia phone for reliable and easy-to-use solution. No way.
I got Treo 180 as soon as it became available. Now I have 270 and I am (almost) absolutely happy.
There is:
1) protective cover
2) very handy jog rocker
3) handsfree earpiece
4) ALL the Palm worlds apps available!
5) BACKLIT KEYBOARD!!!! (was biggest lack in Treo 180)
6) HTTP, WAP, GPRS and 128bit SSL - I do may e-mails and e-banking on the fly, get location-based services....
7) not 2 mention colour screen. (2 those who could say 4K colours are not enough: I think 256 is ALREADY ENOUGH for business use on small screen! Think about it for a scond, & u'll probably realize something 2...:-))) The screen is small enough to not make device tear my shirt's breast pocket off, and still large enough to show readable city or coutry map to give me clear directions.

2 PocketPC addicts: I have changed 6 Palm devices in my life. I have not EVER lost any data and had any hassle with synchronisation and transfer to a new device. I have even changed my sync target on PC several times from Palm Desktop 2 Lotus Notes and now 2 MS Outlook. No problem. Can u calim the same? (no offense, just a question)

Thank u, Handspring, and I hope u will manage 2 turn back Palm itself on right line aft merger! Keep going!
