Cingular business and consumer customers will be able to better balance their personal and business lives, as the all-in-one Treo 680 seamlessly combines a compact, full-featured mobile phone with so much more, all at a competitive price. Users can do even more with their phone, from accessing email and editing documents at the airport to organizing photos and music while waiting for a friend at the coffee shop.
Market research firm In-Stat estimates that 25 percent of all wireless handsets worldwide will be PDAs and smartphones by 2011, which makes the Treo 680 the ideal phone both for feature-phone upgraders and new users.
The Palm Treo 680 is easy to use and affordable because of the multiple innovations it encompasses:
A new internal antenna enables a sleeker design;
An improved phone application on the Treo 680 smart device allows users to dial faster;
The ability to ignore calls with a quick text message lets users tell a caller "I'm in a meeting" or "Can't talk now";
The large, bright color screen is perfect for viewing email, documents or spreadsheets via DataViz Documents To Go®, and even photos and movies;
The highly regarded built-in QWERTY keyboard has improved buttons, making it even easier to type emails or SMS messages;
The messaging application displays text-messaging conversations as "threaded chats," similar to IM, so users can see their entire conversation with a particular person; and
The Treo 680 smart device also can be used as an MP3 player and has an integrated digital camera, camcorder and video player, with simpler organization for photos and photo slideshows.
