TC Ringer The included ringtones on the Treo 270 are ok, but downloading replacement ringtones to a mobile phone is becoming increasingly popular. TreoCentral has a wide selection of ringtones that are easily downloaded to the Treo.
There is also a TC Ringer application ($14.95) that makes it possible to assign one ringtone to a particular category of contacts or to a particular person. I knew that I had to have the James Bond theme as my default ringtone the moment I got the Treo. :)
Treo at Work
The Treo gets its name from the fact that it replaces a trio of devices: PDA, cell phone, and pager. This in itself will make the Treo engratiate the Treo to the corporate environment. Less devices to buy equals less devices to lose equals cost savings.
Have a cell phone and a pager? Dump the pager, which generally runs ten to twenty bucks a month and get an SMS package. VoiceStream currently has 500 SMS messages for less than five dollars. In the long run, that can save a little cash, particularly for large companies such as mine that have lots of employees clamoring for PDAs. I've already seen someone from work that is has a Treo and loves it. Other managers will see it and want one too. The Treo will be infectious in the workplace. Everyone will want one.
