If like me, you've sworn off using a monochrome handheld, the Treo 270 provides good color capabilities under most conditions. The backlit keyboard is worth the price of admission alone for the Treo 270. Criteria  Rating Setup 5 Usability 3 Features 4 Cost/Benefit 3 Overall (not an average) Pros - Excellent cell phone interface - Backlit keyboard - Fast Lookup of any contact - Slim and trim Cons - Screen washed out in direct sunlight - Inadiquate speakerphone - Call History missing some features - Need 3rd party software for some customizations   User Opinions 83% 17% Read Opinions (35) Would you recommend Treo 270?
