review

By Sascha Segan

Improving ever so slightly on the popular Palm Treo 650, the new Palm Treo 680 is a basic, easy-to-use smartphone. Palm's OS is still the simplest thing around for calendar-and-contacts management, so this smartphone will attract folks skittish about combining their phone and PDA. More advanced users, however, will find that this handheld has a strong whiff of 2004 about it.

Bottom Line

An incremental update to the Treo 650, the Treo 680 is still the easiest smartphone to use. It will appeal to new smartphone users but not to the tech-savvy.

Pros

More memory than Treo 650. Still very easy to use.

Cons

Lacks high-speed data, stereo Bluetooth, multitasking, and other common modern features. Not a great speakerphone.
