Conclusion

The Treo 650 offers significant benefits over the Treo 600 and should be the choice for first-time Treo purchasers. There are some problems with dialing and with Bluetooth, but the improved screen, keyboard, and application improvements make the Treo 650 overall a better smartphone.

Hopefully, PalmOne will be able to release a software update that corrects the call sluggishness and Bluetooth problems and allow smaller NVFS records. Overall, I really like the Treo 650 and hope that PalmOne can resolve these issues.
