The Treo 650 is Sweet

I received my Treo 650 just over a week ago. It is everything I expected and more. I am a longtime Handspring Visor Deluxe user and the transition to the Treo was seamless. My new version of the Palm Desktop software picked up on my older version of the software that was used to sync the Visor. The new version of Palm Desktop installation automatically detected which of my legacy Visor applications should not be installed on the Treo’s Palm OS and archived them automatically.

I am using the Internet browsing and email features extensively. I check my Gmail and work email in addition to managing over 500 contacts in 9 categories and over 350 memos in 15 categories. The built in web browser is surprisingly able to display most http and https pages right in the palm of my hand.

I was a little concerned about going to a phone that did not have an analog mode, but the Treo 650 has been very good at acquiring and maintaining a signal in some of the most unlikely areas.

So far, I give this device a five star rating. I am not sure the transition to this device would be as easy for someone who did not already have experience with the Palm OS.
