Well, it’s been 5 days since I got my Handspring Treo 600 and I’ve been using it quite a bit since then. I’ve not really used the phone other than to contact Orange for some help setting up their e-mail system. Anyway, here are the good and the bad points so far:-<\/p>\n

Good points<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. After getting used to it, the keyboard is pretty easy and quick to use. I can type on it about a third to a half of the speed of a normal keyboard now. This is far faster and more accurately than ever I could with Grafitti.<\/li>\n
  2. The screen is bright and easy to read. Some would not think that the 160×160 pixel screen was good enough, but I prefer the long battery life to a higher resolution one. It is easily ample for what I need.<\/li>\n
  3. <\/li>\n
  4. The device is small and light. It’s small enough to fit in the trouser pocket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Niggles.<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

    1. The built-in midi player only handles files up to 64K and they can only be put onto the machine via e-mail. They can’t be transfered via HotSync!<\/li>\n
    2. The e-mail client, although pretty decent in most ways only allows messages up to 100K to be downloaded. This can be a little annoying.<\/li>\n
    3. You can’t play MP3’s on the supplied handsfree earphone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      As a Palm device with a phone attached, it works well overall. Only a few niggles. I’m definitely looking forward to the day I can buy a belt-clip case and a HoySync cradle. The supplied HotSync cable isn’t really up to the job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
