The experts are saying...
MobileTrax Mobility Award 2005
Small Business Computing Excellence in Technology Awards
"The Treo is better than ever."
Walt Mossberg / Wall Street Journal
"...the first handheld to offer on-board flash memory so that you won't lose your data should your battery run down. That fact alone should be enough to claim winner-circle bragging rights..."
SmallBusinessComputing.com Staff
"This certainly strengthens PalmOne's position against competitors like Research In Motion, especially for corporate customers who want more options."
David Linsalata / IDC / quoted in Bloomberg News
"We got to play around with a [Treo 650] a few weeks back and loved what we saw. We can't wait to get a Treo 650 into PC Labs to test."
Sascha Segan / PC Magazine
"I have been anticipating this day like a child waits for Christmas. Today, palmOne introduces the Treo 650, the answer to my ‘what smart phone will I buy?’ conundrum."
"When I realized it was time to practice what I preach and upgrade to a smart phone, I polled a ton of people who develop applications for mobile phone platforms. While there are some very strong arguments for the Microsoft platform, the overwhelming favorite was the palmOne Treo. People who use Microsoft Smartphone devices cite practical considerations for their choice. Treo users, on the other hand, are passionate about it. The Treo 650 makes perfectly clear why that is so. It's beautiful, functional and reliable."
Chris Shipley / DEMOletter
"In my experience, the Treo provides the best combination of voice and data functionality."
Dave Molta / Network Computing
