New Treo Reviewed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the pocket-this dept.

Bill Koslosky writes "Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal just posted his review of the new Treo. His initial review of the Treo 300 inspired many, including myself, to purchase this PDA/phone device. 'I prefer it to any RIM BlackBerry model I have tested, and it blows away any of the PDA/phones based on Microsoft's Pocket PC operating system.' The Sprint CDMA version should be available in the beginning of October."

    [A]t least one woman who tried my test Treo 600 hated the keyboard, saying it was incompatible with long nails.

    From the article:
    Unlike the older Treo, this new model can be operated most of the time with just one hand.

    I know I'm constantly aching to work on my doctoral disseration but am foiled by the lack of MS Word on my Tungsten T.

    I wonder if it helps against headaches, because atleast in Sweden Treo is a headache pill. (or maybe the electromagnetic radiation causes headache so you will need a Treo)
