Palm Treo 650
The Palm Treo 650 smartphone combines a compact, full-featured mobile phone with email, including AOL, Gmail and Yahoo!, an organizer, messaging, and web access. All of which is within easy reach using the Treo 650 smartphone’s finger-friendly QWERTY keyboard. GSM Treo has a quad band wireless radio that uses the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies. The CDMA model uses a digital dual-band CDMA/1xRTT radio operating on the 800/1900 MHz bands.
http://reviews.cnet.com/The good: The Palm Treo 650 benefits from an improved display and keyboard, integrated Bluetooth, and a speakerphone. The world phone also has a 312MHz processor, Palm OS 5.4, multimedia, and e-mail support. The bad: Sadly, the Palm Treo 650 has meager integrated memory, no built-in Wi-Fi, and a low-resolution camera. Also, the Treo 650's headphone jack isn't standard size, and you can't use its Bluetooth as a wireless modem.
http://www.palminfocenter.comThe 650 is powered by a 312 MHz Intel PXA270 processor and runs Palm OS Garnet v5.4.5. It has 32 Megabytes of non-volatile memory, of which 23.7MB is user accessible. The non-volatile memory allows the memory contents to be preserved even when the battery is removed or out of power. The Treo also incorporates a SD memory expansion slot which can accommodate MMC, SD and SDIO memory cards. However, it does not yet support the palmOne WiFi SD card at launch. palmOne claims to be evaluating the situation, so there is only a slight potential the card will eventually be supported.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/PalmOne tells us the Treo 650 uses the same camera hardware as the Treo 600, but the software has been revised heavily to improve image quality. While I was skeptical that software could improve any CMOS VGA camera's picture quality all that much, the 650 pleasantly surprised me with some of the best photos I've seen from a VGA camera phone. In fact, they rival Nokia's VGA offerings, generally the best in the industry, though the newest Nokias still win on sharpness. The camera deals well with bright light, contrasty settings and renders colors naturally without a great deal of color fringing or the bizarre color shifts witnessed on some other VGA cameras.
