Palm Treo 680 First Impressions

by Jayvee on November 27th, 2006

Rico from The Smart PDA has his hands on a Treo 680. We’ve been on a huge debate as to what our next smartphone would be. I have my bets on the O2 Stealth which I will show off tomorrow while Rico still has his heart for the Treo 680.

The newest Treo is lighter, thinner than the 650, is definitely more compact thanks to a disappearing antenna. Changing SIMs requires removing the battery and saying goodbye to existing data (unless you’ve backed it all up of course). Documents To Go thankfully uses actual desktop files; no troublesome conversion.

My gosh, there’s nothing much to write about the 680. Well, that’s because there really is nothing revolutionary after just sooo many iterations way back in early 2003.

GPRS is getting old. It’s time for 3G, HSPDA and at the very least … WiFi. Which is why I have my bets on the Stealth!

EDIT: After playing with the Stealth, I might just get a Treo. Find out why tomorrow.
