Just the best reference book for my Treo 600. Treo and I have had our problems. At one time I threatened to throw it out the window. This book has all the answers. All the things that Palm neglected to tell. The book refers to web sights for potential developments, adding memory and conserving battery life. This is a must have to open up new ways of benefit for this adorable PDA. See, we're freinds now. It is just the best book ever.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. I was pleased to see that it discussed the normal, everyday interfaces AND the more in-depth way to access and/or use the features of the Treo. They also gave ideas on how other individuals are using the features in "real life" usage. It is a much better manual than the one that came with the Treo.

The book assumes that you are familiar with the Treo's instruction manual. This is not very satisfactory as the accompanying manual is not well written and hence forcing one to look elsewhere for a better book.
This book does show the very many things that the Treo is capable of and is certainly worth the value.

The Treo established new grounds in the cellular phone by merging the capabilities of the palm sized computer with the phone system. This combination has brought entirely new concepts in computing and communications ability.

The manual that come with the Treo is quite good, and explains what your particular phone company has implemented on your system.

But beyond the capabilities your phone company has put in, the Treo has other options, other accessories, other programs that may be helpful to your needs. This book goes beyond what your manual contains to explain all the features of the Treo. As an example, my phone company manual doesn't talk about using the Treo with a GPS adapter and maping software, but the book does. Both the Treo 600 and the Treo 650 are covered.

Quick arrival and the book is fine, but not as informative as I thought it would be.

I was disappointed. I expected it to be more of a "how to" book instead it seemed to be selling the worth of the Treo. Telling how great it is and what it will do, especially if additional applications are installed on it. ~ acr
