I bought a second-hand smartphone.
A Treo 600. It's a quad-band phone with an integrated pda.
It's OK.
Combined devices usually suck. They do neither of the combined things well. That is true of the Treo.
As a phone, it cannot dial right away. The numeric keys are really small. And it is much bigger and heavier than any other phone.
The PDA is about the equivalent of the Z22 -- Palm's cheapest colour model.
Why did I buy this monsterous thing? (Definitely not for clubbing. I took this thing to a dance party and it fell out of the beltclip twice. Luckly, the thing is built like a brick and sustains impacts like a rock.) Its five years old. But, the Treo is lighter than a seperate cellphone and a PDA. two devices is also much more bulky. The integration of contact, calender, and a cellphone simplfies my workflow.
Furthermore, the keyboard make SMS much easier than predictive text.
For $150, it's Ok.
