Tritz 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 After all this talk about the Treo 650 and how awesome it is, i was thinking about picking one up. Then one of other pilot friends told me she was selling hers to buy that new pocket pc 6700 thing, so i bought hers. It is the coolest thing in the entire world. Other than getting email forwarding to the phone i can get real-time dopler radar in the airplane, as well as any airport information. It definitly rocks my world. Link to post Share on other sites

The Czar 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I have one, but I don't think I utlize it to its fullest potential. Waht kind of software do you have for it? Also, I was thinking about getting the Bluetooth GPS for it because it's only $200, as opposed to the $600+ it costs for a new all in one unit. Link to post Share on other sites
MasterLJ 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 The Treo is segzy. Especially since you can drop it, and it still works. That's really my only qualifier for "good electronics." Everything else is secondary. Link to post Share on other sites

Mos Def 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I already killed my 3rd Ipod.In fact, my history of Ipods is exactly what made me post my post. They cannot be dropped... slightly bumped, or tapped, without breaking.Maybe I've just been lucky with my iPods, but I bought a second-generation one, the first Windows-compatible generation, back in October of '03. I dropped it more than once, and it still worked perfectly when I sold it to my brother in November '04. He's clumsy, so I'm sure he's dropped it as well; it still works today, although the battery life leaves something to be desired. I think that's more because of its age than any abuse.

theomen 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 our treo 650's that we just got a few months ago were great, but having a lot of problems with them. random crashes, dumping info, just plain deciding not to work for unkown reasons. love mine, but don't get too hooked on it, you'll be pi**ed when it quits working for no apparent reason....

Entrepeneur 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Had my 650 since last june and love it. Haven't really had any problems with it. Once in awhile (if there are TONS of pics and videos on it), it gets a little slow, but otherwise it's pretty amazing. Just out of this world the amount of software out there for pdas now.I'm driving in the car from the Masters to play golf in Birmingham and checked my email in the car on the phone and found out a shirt I had bought there had sold.Random comment, but really the idea of checking all my email on the phone is pretty rockin'.My Treo definitely knows more about me than I know about him (not a her..safer that way).
