The Palm Treo range of smart phones come in 4 main versions the 650 and 680 are the older style of Treo supporting Bluetooth technology and has quite good reviews, the only problem seems to be it does not support wifi technology but if you are not that bothered with this then the Palm Treo 650 and 680 are good smart phones.
There is also a Palm Treo 700 and 750 this are updated versions of the 650 and 680 which now support windows 5 mobile technology. This version also supports Bluetooth, has a camera and EV-DO support.
All controls for the Palm Treo are well spaced and easy to use, and I love the fact that you can operate the smart phone with one hand--you don't have to rely on the stylus to access menus and applications.
The feature that sets the Palm Treo 700w apart from the rest of the Treo family is obviously its Windows Mobile 5 operating system. With it, you get the new Microsoft Office Mobile Suite, including Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile.
More on the Palm Treo's
The biggest draw for many,will be Outlook Mobile. The Treo 700w will be upgradable to Microsoft's Messaging and Security Feature Pack, which includes support for push e-mail. Now, you can receive Outlook e-mail in real time (along with POP3 and IMAP4 accounts, including Hotmail and Yahoo), appointments, contacts, and tasks directly on your device via a connection with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. The Treo 700w's complementary support for Verizon's EV-DO network sweetens the deal, as it means faster download speeds of around 400Kbps to 700Kbps. Other wireless options include Bluetooth for hands-free calling (there's also a speakerphone) but unfortunately no Wi-Fi.For entertainment, the Palm Treo 700w includes Windows Media Player 10 Mobile, so you can listen to music and watch videos, plus it supports WMA, WMV, and MP3 files, among others. Also, for extra kicks, you can now assign any supported video file as a ring tone. If you want to take photos of your own, the Treo 700w comes equipped with a 1.3-megapixel camera, an improvement upon the Treo 650's VGA camera. There's a 2X zoom, and you can choose from three quality settings (High, Normal, and Low) and five resolutions (1,280x1,024, 640x480, 320x240, 240x180, and 160x120). You can also adjust the brightness, and once you've snapped your image, you can rotate it or crop it to your liking. Image quality was decent but definitely not printworthy. In video mode, you get two quality settings (176x144 and 352x288) and brightness controls. Plus, you can choose to limit video clips to 15 seconds, 30 seconds, or none at all. Once you're done, you can assign your masterpieces as wallpaper or photo caller ID, or you can save them to the phone's internal memory. There's 128MB of memory (60MB is user accessible) onboard, but thanks to the SDIO/MMC expansion slot, you can load a nice memory card with such multimedia content and save the internal memory for other apps.
