A few quick points:
* email is dreadfully slow, often being delayed for 4-5 hours, lost somewhere in the Verizon network. Same goes for my voice mail.
* Tech support is better today, but Verizon is still not geared toward the data market. Be prepared to figure this out on your own. Expect to invest 10 hours sorting it out.
* If you don't have a MS Exchange server, the wireless sync function is serverely limited. i.e., only email sent from your desktop will show up on your treo. NOT vice versa. Expect to have to delete the same emails twice - once from your palm and once from your desktop Outlook.
* Only the Inbox is supported, not any of the customized folders, or subfolders.
*Buy the unlimited data plan, or expect a $1,000 phone bill. They don't tell you this up front. Verizon bills for data usage based on minutes not KBs, and they consider the phone always "on" if you are running their wireless sync package, or viewing a web-page (even though you may not be actively downloading for more than a fraction of the time you are viewing the site.) Translation: you are using and will be billed for about 24 hours a day of minutes.
* The phone will run a "wireless sync" very frequently - everytime you change anything in email, task, memo, contacts or calendar. When it doesn this calls can't get through, but will be sent straight to voice mail, and you won't be told it is happening, so expect to miss a lot of calls.

I was sceptical about purchasing the Treo 600 until I bought the Sprint version. The lack of voice dial, graffiti text writing, wireless modem support and analog networks became minor concerns once I became familiar with the Treo. The call log and favorites functions cover all all your dialing needs beautifully. I no longer think about voice dial! The favorites function acts just like the normal speed dial but with a twist. Not only can you dial numbers, you can launch applications and the "Contacts" program (which is integrated with phone dialer program) can hold up to 600 numbers. Any number is automatically searched by pressing the alphabetic keypad.
I miss the graffiti writing but I'm quickly becoming fond of the Treo's built in keyboard. I used to connect my Samsung I330 to my decktop and laptop computers as a wireless modem so I could access the internet with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Can't do it with the Treo 600. What a shame! Did I mention that all the Treo's functions can be performed without use of the stylus? Amazing! The Treo also plays music files through its stereo earphone plug. You have to have a earphone adapter which Handspring sells for $5. Handspring also gives you the Pocket Tunes application when you register your Treo 600. The absence of analog support is not much of a issue where I live but if I travel to another state I would switch to one of my other phones that supports analog networks before I leave. Overall, the Treo 600 is not a phone/pda that I'm going to part with anytime soon.

I bought the Treo 600 with high expectations of what the phone could do for me--I'm a realtor by trade and the conveniences the phone offered were wonderful for me and my lifestyle--to have data at my fingertips. And the phone was working wonderfully until it starting making "clicking" noises when switching from one application to another. After numerous calls, I was sent a "reconditioned" phone (which I was suppose to feel good about) after having the initial phone for only 4 short months. It's now 5 months later and the new "feel good about it being a reconditioned phone" is also making the same elusive clicking noises..after many hard resets, the phone will not come back on.
After many hours on the phone with the technical service and supervisors, I was told that I could be resent another "reconditioned" phone, but my warranty will not be extended, ending in July. As I quickly pointed out their track record with me is about a new phone every 5 months....my warranty will be expired by then. They have currently made no offers to extend the warranty past the 7/2005 date. The topper was when I asked for a Manager of the Supervisors to call me back tomorrow (my call was after business hours) I was told it wasn't that person's duty to call customers back.
I don't think I'm asking too much...high end customer service for a high end product. Don't get me wrong, I love the phone..when it works, I just wish their customer service would move their bar up to their high end product...and of course, a phone that works..with no clicking noises.

When I recieved my New Treo 600 last November (2003) I was highly excited. It has served me well. To anyone thinking of trying the PalmOne smartphone I say it is definately the way to go. It is the type of phone that when you began to use it's functions, you will wonder how u ever survived without it. Perfect? Not at all, but if perfection if measured by what is already on the market, then it is damn close.
Why am I giving up my trusty Treo 600 so soon? Easy, because my new Treo 650 is on the way. It has some enhansed features that I am wanting to utilize. I expect it too will have it's shortcomings, but I will endure until the next version deploys. I have been asked to sell my 600 recently, but I have opted to give it to my 11yr old son for school. Yes, with a portable keyboard It will serve him as well as most laptops at a fraction of the weight and save me the "Where's your laptop?" paranoia.
Handspring did a faboulous job, I hope PalmOne won't drop the torch.
