Very good

7.0

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.0 out of 10
Reviewed by John Morris
Review date: 10/24/05

The good: The Palm Treo 650 benefits from an improved display and keyboard, integrated Bluetooth, and a speakerphone. The world phone also has a 312MHz processor, Palm OS 5.4, multimedia, and e-mail support.

The bad: Sadly, the Palm Treo 650 has meager integrated memory, no built-in Wi-Fi, and a cumbersome Bluetooth setup. Also, the Treo 650 suffers from average audio quality, a low-resolution camera, a nonstandard headphone jack, and no analog roaming.

The bottom line: Though it has its shortcomings, the PalmOne Treo 650 offers solid performance and adds some key features to maintain its reign as smart-phone leader.

No such a great phone, lacking with Bluetooth
The Treo is more PDA than phone. It's better for business execs. Which I'm not.
