Review: Palm Treo 680
The Good: The Palm Treo 680 features a sleeker design; integrated Bluetooth with the ability to use it as a wireless modem; more user-accessible memory; and e-mail capabilities. It also offers a bright touch screen and productivity tools and is easy to use.
The Bad: The smart phone doesn’t have integrated Wi-Fi nor does it support Palm’s Wi-Fi card or voice dialing. What’s more, the VGA camera is disappointing, the QWERTY keyboard is a bit cramped, and the speakerphone quality is a bit scratchy.
The Bottom Line: With a user-friendly interface, decent performance, and an affordable price point, the Palm Treo 680 is a good smart phone for the first-time buyer or for mobile users looking to be more productive on the road; we just wish it had a better camera and Wi-Fi support.

Palm today announced the availability of the Treo 755p, the first CDMA Treo with an internal antenna. The 755p shares its design with the 750w except for a few small changes to the navigation keys, since the Palm OS does not use soft keys. It has the same features as the Treo 700p, currently sold on all major CDMA networks, including Bluetooth, a 1.3 Megapixel camera, Mini SD card slot and Palm OS 5.4.9. The new model will launch with Sprint in mid-May.
