More Problems for the Treo 650

Posted by michael on from the speak-up-sonny dept.

koreth writes "PalmOne's new Treo 650 smartphone is one of the season's most eagerly-anticipated gadgets. But it looks like they let it out of the gate too early. First there was the memory problem, which, to PalmOne's credit, they addressed quickly. That satisfied me and I bought one, only to find that while it's a great device in a lot of ways, as a phone it stinks. From the other end, it sounds like I'm inside a cardboard box, and lots of other people are complaining about the same thing. No word yet from PalmOne on this problem. Any other 650 owners having problems with their new units?"

    I don't know much about the Treo 650, but I am pretty interested in the upcoming Nokia 6255i. Some of it's features:
    • Dual color LCDs
    • Bluetooth, infrared & USB
    • Plays MP3s and AACs
    • Built-in FM stereo radio
    • Digital Camera (640x480 with flash and zoom)
    • MMC slot
    • Voice Recognition
    • Speakerphone
    • Phone book, calendar and to-do list
    • Alarm clock
    • Tri-mode (800/1900 MHz CDMA, 800 MHz AMPS)
    It's a bit on the ugly side, but not too bad. Should be available in the next few weeks. I have no idea how much it will cost; I assume I won't be able to afford it :-(
