My New Toy - Treo 650

[GB]

I broke down and bought myself a new toy that I have been lusting over for quite a while now. It is the Treo 650 cell phone/palm pilot. I have had a separate cell phone and PDA for a while and have wanted to get a combo unit forever, but none of them ever seemed good enough until now. I love this thing. It does everything. It is a cell phone with all the regular bells and whistles including speaker phone. It is a PDA with a full qwerty keyboard which is actually easy to use. I can surf the web with it. I can even use it as a modem for my laptop if I ever needed to. It is bluetooth equipped so I can hook up a wireless earpiece. It has a camera and video camera all built in and the quality is surprisingly good. I can use all the regular ring tones or download more or I can record my own. Right now when I get voicemails I have it set so I have a recording of my baby cooing when the voicemail comes in. I can have a different ringtone for numbers that are in my address book and numbers that I don't know. I can actually have a different ring for every person if I wanted to.

Does anyone else have one of these? Have you downloaded any cool software? What are your experiences with these?

LOL I don't have one but I can tell you are one excited person GB. Congratulations on your new toy. Sounds like a toy that can keep you entertained for a long time. Especially when you can hear your baby's cooing.

Congrats, GB! My DH has one and loves it. I'll ask him what software he has on it and let you know.

You are SO way more advanced than me, Geebs. I still have the old nokia cell (that you can't download stuff onto), never used a PDA and just got my first digital camera last weekend.

I bow to your greatness.

Oprah gave these away on her last gift-giving show - they looked great!! I have both separate right now (PDA/cell phone) - I bet my husband has one before too long - he can't help but buy new toys!

Glad you like it GB - let us know how you really feel about though - I think you were holding back on us

The funny thing is that I probably WAS holding back elf

I got one a week or two ago...had to return the first one as it locked up once every 10 - 15 minutes.

The replacement has worked awesome. Haven't had much of a chance to download any cool software but have been looking. As you probably know, just the "stock" treo has enough features that it takes a novice like me awhile to get it set up just the way I like it
