Cingular Treo 680 Reviewed by Laptop Magazine
Posted by Chris Leckness on 11/22/06 in Cingular
When Palm announced the coming of this new Treo, I got the impression at the press conference that this device is intended for this in the bubble that lies between power user/early adopters and soccer moms. This bubble is a huge part of the market. I think that Palm is right in the fact that those people want more than just a phone, but not sure that market wants a Treo form factor. I am thinking more along the lines of the Moto Q or Blackjack.
Anyhow, Laptop Magazine tells us their thoughts on the Palm Treo 680….
“Priced for the masses but also designed for the masses, the Treo 680 ($199 with two-year contract) combines an affordable price tag with Palm’s unparalleled ease of use. It comes with a revamped phone application and all of the other amenities that have made the Treo line so popular. The Treo 680 is also more pocket-friendly than earlier models, making it a very good choice for first-time smart phone buyers.
Pros:
• Lighter than previous Treos
• Easy-to-use phone and favorites applications
• Can read and edit attachments
• Very good call quality
• Free setup support for first 90 days
Cons:
• Shorter battery life than Treo 650
• Flimsy stylus
• Color options cost more
