The bottom line: The new Treo 680 is what you need to be on the road. Its features are great and one of a kind tech wonder.
If you are like me, then you may have secretly placed the PDA/Cell Phone on your wishlist this year. After all, it is a technological wonder. The Palm Treo 680 Smartphone comes equipped with so many little gadgets that will awe you. I know I have been awed ever since I have come in contact with it. In one of my drop-by visits at the local Cingular store, I started reading about the PDA/cell phone. Way before it was released, the cardboard display got me hoooked on the phone. When it was made available for sale on October 2006, I went directly to the store to try to get it. Unlucky I was, I did not find. The store had a very limited amount of the Treo. In my subsequent visits, I did find what I was looking for all along. The Treo is now part of my techological gadgets. For $199.99 and other fees, you can also become a Palm Treo Smartphone owner. That is the lowest price you can pay for them at your Cingular Wireless store.

What makes the Treo different from any others on the market? Let's say, Windows Mobile or even earlier versions of PDAs?

If it is time for you to consider a new cell phone, then you should think about the Treo.
