Built for professionals on the
go, the PalmOne Treo 600 rolls all the functionality of a high-end PDA and a
cell phone into one tight package. Complete with a backlit QWERTY keyboard and a
digital camera, it's the ultimate mobile office companion.
Calling and PDA Features
As a phone, the 800/1900 MHz Treo provides a built-in one-touch speakerphone
feature, a mute button and caller ID, plus a few other snazzy features. For
example, you can slide the ringer switch on the top of the phone, and it
instantly puts the phone in silent mode, so there's no more wading through
screen menus in the dark before the movie starts. And, by typing in initials or
a name into the keyboard, you can dial anyone in your contacts list instantly.
The keys have a special ergonomic dome shape, designed to be extra
thumb-friendly. Plus there are tons of single and double key shortcuts you can
use to launch Palm applications, up to 25 at once. But, if you're set in your
ways with your PDA, you can always forego the keyboard and simply use the screen
dial pad and stylus. Other calling features include vibrate mode, 16-channel
MIDI polyphonic ring tones, and external volume buttons and ringer/silent
switches.
For your PDA needs, the Treo sports 32 MB of RAM (24 MB user-available), plus
a calendar and Palm OS organizer (version 5.2.1H), with the standard features
such as Contact List, Memo Pad, To Do List, and more. You also get 24 MB of
available memory to hold additional Palm OS software applications of the
thousands that are available, such as MP3 players. When you sync up, the Treo
600 provides one-touch transfer of your Contacts to your PC's Outlook.
Messaging, Internet and Tools
"Blazer", the 600's color browser, gives you fast access to the Web, including
sites not optimized for the mobile Internet, so you can lets you track your
stocks, read headlines, and get directions, plus entertain yourself with
downloadable ring tones and pictures. You can also download Palm OS software
applications directly to your phone, and enjoy access to wireless email (carrier
email and wireless web service charges apply). Plus, you can send and receive
SMS text messages to other phones or to any email address, and keep track of the
conversation with threaded messaging.
You can even attach photos to your text messages. The Treo 600's built-in 640
x 480, 0.3 megapixel digital camera makes it easy to take and send the photos
back to your PC, use them in text messages, or as picture caller ID by attaching
the pictures to corresponding people in the contacts list.
Everything in the Treo 600 is integrated, so it's easy to perform multiple
tasks like checking your calendar while talking on the phone or dialing calls
directly from your contacts list. The handy design also provides a cell
phone-like, 5-way navigation button, and the easy-access Favorites screen for
the built-in Web browser. Other features of the Treo 600 include Contact List
with Instant Lookup, a calendar, MMS/Picture Mail, Memo Pad, an Advanced
Calculator, CityTime world clock, Palm Desktop 4.1 software for Windows and
Macintosh, HotSync Manager, link to Microsoft Outlook (Windows only), IR
capability, SD/MMC SD I/O-ready expansion, MP3-capability (with 3rd party
software, SD memory card and headset adaptor).
