things to do before i like it again:

1) include wifi... or include the ability to at least add it ... preferrably without loosing the SD slot.
2) fix this new issue. or double the RAM... 32MB? rrright.
3) do not cripple the bluetooth. at all. ever.
4) slightly less sucky camera.
5) do all that and not jack up the price for the 'upgrade' to what it should have had since they announced it.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/PalmOne is ridiculous here - I mean I can buy a 128MB flash memory USB stick for $25, but Palmone only puts 32MB in a $600 smartphone????]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/
"Some new owners who have upgraded from the Treo 600 are reporting that when they sync [...]"

How do we know that this is the case for ALL treo 650s, some does not mean all? What about moving the applications that are huge onto your SD memory card (that's what I do on the treo 600)?

Is this an official statement from Palm one? Is it fixable? Sounds like it's a cluster size issue, that should be fixable with somekind of firmware.

And 010111, I will try to provide you with the answers that were given to us at the conference held in DC by palm one specifically for the treo (which ends up being 350 bucks, if you actually attend).

"1) include wifi... or include the ability to at least add it ... preferrably without loosing the SD slot."

The ability for Wifi is there. The constraint is no longer the power capabilities of the SD card slot, but now it's a matter of making the wifi radio components work alongside the Cell phone Radio components of the treo (think about it).

"2) fix this new issue. or double the RAM... 32MB? rrright."

32MB is nothing, i'll agree, but if you have mission critical apps, you will want to invest into a SD memory card, that just makes more sense.

"3) do not cripple the bluetooth. at all. ever. "

There is no need to assume bluetooth will be crippled. Bluetooth has been added, everyone can rejoice now.

"4) slightly less sucky camera."

I played with the new camera, and I have to say it's amazing. Palmone really did do their research on upgrading the value of the WHOLE unit as opposed to just the features themselves.

"5) do all that and not jack up the price for the 'upgrade' to what it should have had since they announced it."

Palm one has been pretty good about posting fixes for free. I dont know where you got this notion of a price increase for a fix. That's MS, not P1.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/
Yeah, 64 MB would be nice, but is even THAT enough (especially now that it does video and reasonable pics?) Nah, I'll make do with the 32 and will install all the rest onto the spacious gig.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Anything else like email and other features are great but not necessary.
Will I be able to do that or should I just buy a 600?

It seems to me that I either have real bad luck, got 2 phones from the same batch, or these phones are problematic for many.

Also, was hoping to find somewhere peoples comments on cell reception compared to other phones, but can not seem to find any information. Does anyone have any comments on this?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/I couldnt see any rules up to now; sometimes telephone works fine, but very often phone-calls are interrupted suddenly by a reset.
Hardware or Firmware Problems??? I cannot find it out. Please help me!

They will send a little mod to you if you call them with details etc
Hope that helps]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/19/treo-650-memory-usage-problems/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AM
