Phone, email, messaging and more, all in one. |

Text like crazy on the easy-type keyboard. | 
Be mobile. Browse mobile. | Design Under the hood, the Treo 680 features Palm OS 5.4.9, 64MB of non-volatile flash memory available for user storage, and an Intel PXA270 312 MHz processor. The design retains the same popular form factor as the Treo 650 with a few subtle, yet significant, changes. The design is slimmer and lighter, while the updated OS provides for better phone and PDA application integration. The amazing 320 x 320 color touchscreen is still there, as is the full QWERTY backlit keypad. This time though, the expansion card slot is located on the right hand side of the unit. The expansion card slot is compatible with full sized SD cards, and supports up to 2 GB of memory (memory cards sold separately). Other design features include an infrared port for line of sight data transfers, as well as a handy switch for turning off the phone's ringer. A five-way navigator controls most of the phone's menus and operating system functions, while quick application buttons on either side of the navigator get you to your favorite applications in a snap. The left side of the unit features a volume up/down toggle plus a handy user-customizable button that can be assigned to any phone or PDA function. The rear of the Treo 680 houses a loudspeaker, as well as the VGA camera unit. A touch-screen stylus can be tucked away on the right side of the phone. Meanwhile, a combined charging, data, and accessory attachment port is housed on the bottom of the unit, as is a standard 2.5 mm stereo headset jack. Calling and PDA Features All of the Treo 680's phone and PDA functions are designed to provide an integrated, seamless experience. For instance, you can type in the name or initials of a contact on the keypad to dial them. Or, use the touch-screen and stylus to copy information from an email and quickly paste it into another email or text message. Updated from the Treo 650, the 680 sports many improved and new phone/PDA features. The user can now see messages waiting in a preemptive alert window, and the favorites view is now in one vertical easy-to-see list. The length of the favorites list is only limited to available memory. A big dial pad can be formatted on the color touch screen, and the user does not need to go to another application to access the contact list; calling and contacts are all completely integrated. There's even an easy dialing prefix feature for when you're out of the country. Different country presets can be programmed into the 680 for true jet-setter world roaming and cell phone convenience. Lastly, easy access to recently visited applications can be achieved by holding down the launch key. All of the latest phone features folks expect are built-in, too, like a handsfree speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones, a vibrate mode and picture caller ID. The capacity of the unit's address book is only limited by the amount of internal and expansion memory available. Use the Treo 680's Bluetooth capability to wirelessly sync your contacts with your PC or Mac (yes, Mac!). Headsets, car kits and other wireless peripherals can also be paired with the unit via Bluetooth. The Treo 680 is also a fully functional Palm OS device. That means that a huge library of applications, from spreadsheets to word processors to games, can be added to the Treo 680. Download, view, and edit Word and Excel compatible files, rehearse a PowerPoint presentation, even review PDF files, directly on the 680's conveniently large color touchscreen. It's easy to perform multiple tasks like checking your calendar while talking on the phone or dialing calls directly from your contacts list. Familiar Palm OS software ships with the handset including calendar, calculator, clock, contacts, memo, and task management applications. Meanwhile, the unit's memory expansion slot allows you to transfer music, photos, and video from your desktop. Or, use it to load additional games and applications. Messaging and Internet The device fully supports SMS and MMS messaging for rapid exchange of pictures, text and video. Download Web sites fast using the handset's high-speed EDGE data capability, and the included award-winning Blazer Web browser. You can even use Google maps while on-the-go to download turn-by-turn directions. Email is easy, too; with the 680, you can send and receive email from corporate and personal email accounts. You can also use your 680 smartphone as a wireless modem for your laptop. Fun and Games The integrated VGA digital camera included with the Treo 680 sports a 2x digital zoom, features automatic light balancing, can be used to capture video with 352 x 288 pixel resolution, and is outfitted with a handy self-portrait mirror function. If you want to take your tunes with you, the Treo 680 comes with the PocketTunes application, allowing you to load up all your favorite music on SD memory cards, and enjoy MP3 music on the go. Plus, with the ever-expanding library of Palm OS compatible games and other entertainment applications, you'll never be at a loss for something fun to do during break time. Vital Statistics The Palm Treo 680 weighs 5.60 ounces and measures 4.40 x 2.30 x .80 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of digital talk time, and up to 300 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Decent PDA, Crappy phone August 27, 2008 I've had a Palm PDA for about 10 years - I love a PDA. This device stinks though. I bought it so I don't have to carry both phone and PDA, but have since switched my SIM card to the free Motorola phone that came with my phone contract and have reverted to carrying two devices again. When the phone is turned on, the PDA freezes for 3-8 seconds at random intervals, the battery drains in less than 24 hours and it makes nearby speakers hum and chirp at random intervals. When the phone is turned off, it works like a normal Palm PDA and the battery holds a charge for at least a week. I think it incredible that while it plays MP3s from the pTunes program, it won't play an MP3 ring tone. Palm must be incapable of or unwilling to hire decent cell phone engineers. Calling Palm support is a waste of time too - you get someone with poor English skills and a script for you to follow. (Hard reset the device & reload). Deviate from the script and forget it - they're totally lost. The PDA is standard Palm PDA, except they pulled the free expense program I used all the time and replaced it with one that costs extra and does less. You're better off with a Tungsten and separate cell phone than this piece of crap. I WILL NOT buy another Palm device when I get around to replacing this one. I'd like to feel that I at least get my $400 worth of use from this PDA before I replace it with a smart phone from another manufacturer.
Terrific! August 15, 2008 Just what my wife wanted. Excellent service and very quick turnaround/shipping from the merchant.
Treo 680 review July 24, 2008 Good product as I upgraded from the Treo 650. It is lighter, smaller and the screen is sharper. The only negative is that the battery life is much less than the 650.
Palm Treo 680 July 13, 2008 My old cell phone battery was going out and my old Palm T5 battery was not holding a charge very well either so the Palm Treo 680 was a good choice for me. It has the capabilities that I needed from Palm and also was a match for my AT&T service.
Although it is an unlocked phone I did not need it to be as I already was using AT&T as my service provider, but it would be a good choice for anyone who is looking for a Palm/phone combination
I was able to upload all my old Palm programs and convert all my old phone information without any problems. The SIMS card was easy to replace and so far I have not found any problems.
I have probably used both the Palm and the phone more since I have had the Treo than I had used either one before I purchased it.
I already had a 16G iTouch so I did not need the iPhone although that would have been my next choice but I would still have needed a replacement for my Palm.
I like it and so far have not seem any problem. I also purchased a Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card at the same time and use it for extra storage when needed but so far it has not been necessary.
Loooove it!!!!!!!!!!!! June 26, 2008 I only have 4 days with my Palm and so far I love it! It has everything I was looking for. LOVE MY PALM TREO 680 :)
