Treo woesTreo woesTreo woes 04/09/2004 04:03 PM My beloved Treo 600 is suddenly on the fritz. It makes and
receives calls, but whenever I turn it off and on, it locks in the
keyguard mode. Shutting off keyguard didn't help, nor did soft
and hard resets. This is something serious. Time to call
the equipment replacement program, which fortunately I signed up
for.

I'd been using AT&T for many years as my mobile phone service provider, despite the fact the reception in my house has always been less than marginal.

The P900 has a much better Web browser, a better camera, better multitasking and in many ways a better user interface. But the Treo has a thumb-keyboard, which for me is essential, and zillions of Palm OS applications that run nicely and enhance the device. Sidekick Vs. Treo 600Sidekick Vs.

Shedding some light on the matter is an email that reader Zachary Conine just recently received from their customer service:Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We are currently experiencing some problems regarding synching the Treo 600 with our network which has delayed the release of this device. We hope to have these issues resolved in a timely matter and should be releasing this device sometime in December.So T-Mobile subscribers lusting after the Treo 600 are either going to have wait a little while longer, buy an unlocked Treo 600 and hope it works, or switch to another carrier.... Cingular Treo 650 SoonCingular Treo 650 Soon 01/06/2005 02:56 PM OMFG Worst. Trip. Ever. I'm at CES finally, though, and have big, big stuff to talk about. Expect short, bursty posts—not because I don't want to dazzle you with my dick jokes, but because there's just so much to cover, both CES and not. Here's a little blurp: Cingular's rebate form for the Treo 600 has a check box for the Treo 650 even though it expires January 31st. If that doesn't mean it's going to be out that month, they mean it's going to be out real soon now. Cing ular Rebate Form [Cingular] Video to Go on the Treo 600??Video to Go on the Treo 600?? 01/07/2004 04:53 PM USER THOUGHT: Watching a TV program on a Palm device is fun.
Oh, suh-weet! I hadn't even thought of this! I could take shows I've recorded on my ReplayTV, download them to my PC, convert them to MPEG and then PDB, and watch them on my Treo 600! Is there anything this puppy can't do?? And the screen on it is bigger than the one on my Archos Jukebox, while negating the need to mess with multiple programs and formats just to get the video onto the device! I feel a test case coming on this weekend.... Treo FungusTreo Fungus 12/19/2004 03:49 PM The screen on my Treo 600 broke out in streaks and patches of organge discolorations like a fungus. It continued to work other than the fact the display was obscured. Palm replaced it at no charge, but within three days the new unit has started to display the same problem.... RealPlayer Comes to the Treo 600?RealPlayer Comes to the Treo 600? 01/08/2004 07:20 PM There were lots of big announcements today but as far as I'm concerned, the biggest is Real's new software plus music store. Not for the music store itself, because after I download the first song for $.10 I don't envision locking my music up in AAC + Helix encrypted files, but because RealPlayer 10 brings with it a new Palm component. The line that specifically caught my eye is "support for over 50 portable music devices, including the iPOD and the Handspring Treo 600." Naturally my fingers tripped over themselves to get to the Real site and download the software to my T600, but I couldn't find a download link for it anywhere. The key turns out to be this little phrase: "For the next 10 days, U.S. consumers who download RealPlayer 10 will be able to purchase their first track for only $0.10. Consumers can transfer tracks purchased in the RealPlayer Music Store to the Creative Zen Xtra as well as seven models of PalmOne devices, including most of the Tungsten models, the Zire 71, and the Treo 600." I didn't realize I had to actually download the main player and create an account at the music store just to get the Palm piece that I want, but of course Real is going to make this as difficult as possible (I don't use Real anymore because it's become more and more annoying with each iteration). PDA 24/7 spelled it out in the following post:
So despite my dislike for the software, I've been anxiously awaiting a new version of RealPlayer that would work with the T600 because I really, really, really want to be able to access Live365 streams. Even better, I'd like to finally be able to access Rhapsody on it, and I'm guessing this is the first step to making that a reality. By the time I realized what I needed to do, I was home reading my aggregator for the night. Every day I carry my sync cable to work and back in order to keep my data and programs up-to-date at both home and work (yes, I need to buy a second charger/sync cable, but they all seem to be sold out). Naturally, I forgot my sync cable at work tonight, so I can't test this and install the Palm program. Argh - my kingdom for a sync cable!! So until I have a chance to go through all of this myself, has anyone else installed the new RealPlayer 10 on a Treo 600? Can you do more than just listen to purchased Real music files in it? Can you hear live streams from other web sites? Enquiring minds want to know!

The great thing about this device is that it confirms most of what I've been writing about for the last two years. I am truly shifted now! Of course, this has brought home to me even more how woefully lacking library services are in a shifted environment, and I'll be doing a second write-up of how they look on the Treo. In fact, I'm thinking of submitting it as a presentation at the ILA Conference this fall because too few librarians have actually seen how their services look on a smartphone, and this is one way I could show them, even taking URLs from the audience. See, I could do that at ILA because I wouldn't have to rely on the conference center for internet access! (Assuming I can get a strong enough signal in the conference room....) I've also updated the list of What's on My Treo 600, and I'm pretty close to maxxing out the memory on it, both internal and external. Hopefully I'll get a 256MB SD card for my birthday.... ;-) Treo 600 Smartphone - $500Treo 600 Smartphone - $500 12/23/2003 11:34 PM Popular Mechanics Dec 23 2003 10:41PM ET Verizon To Get the Treo 610Verizon To Get the Treo 610 04/26/2004 07:40 AM PalmOne's Treo update, the 610, is likely to be launched on Verizon Wireless sometime between now and Fall, at least according to a little slip-up published on the Dow Jones newswire.
