 problem with garbled text May 18, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have a Cingular 680 and I am having a bad problem with repeated non-functioning which happens in association with garbled text on the line where you normally see AT&T.
A patch for the problem has been promised by Palm for several months but is not out yet. It is important that peole know about this problem as it is quite widespread. You can read more about it on the Palm and cingular user forums.

Time to time the phone frezzes up the battery would last a half a day. the signal is poor sometimes its difficult to get out a call. i had always wanted a treo from the time i saw them, but in this treo 680 i was very dissapointed. i already bought it so i have to go ahead and try to work with it but right now i am not happy with my puchase. i hope the other models would be better than this one.

I have tried 4-5 of theses phones over the last 4 years. This one works the best of all I have tried. The latest was the Cingular 8525 (HTC makes it) and it dropped 80% of incoming calls on pickup and 20% of outgoing calls. I thinks Windows was loading a DLL - (;<))) The Palm OS is much quicker to respond to input than the Windows based SPs.
I upgraded from a BlackJack to a Treo 680! April 12, 2007

Believe it or not, i consider going from a BlackJack to a Treo 680 an upgrade. i guess the whole battery problem depends on the usage and the person. My battery problem is that i cant kill the darn thing!
I am one of those people that depletes a battery completely before recharging it. I do it to my laptop and my iPod and the PDA i had before the BlackJack, the Tungsten 2E. Devoted Palm users will absolutely dispise the Windows Mobile 5 available on BlackJacks. Mainly because you CAN NOT create and edit word, excel or pdf files and the biggest problem for me was its complete depndence on Outlook. Which i absolutley can not put up with. Even the contacts wouldn't backup! Needless to say, the Treo 680 saved me. If you do go the way of the blackjack without Outlook, look into SBSH's programs Facade and Papyrus. However, if you go with the lovely Treo check out "DialByPhoto" i think the coolest part is how you can set up a "Favorite 5" like TMobile offers but still have all the reliability of Cingular.
I absolutely adore this phone! April 12, 2007

I've had a Treo 650 for a long time. I wasn't 100% sure I'd want the 680, when it was first announced, but a big nasty scratch on my 650's screen helped me decide to take the plunge. I'm so glad I did. The lack of a protruding antenna makes it fit in my pocket much better, the internal slot for the SIM card eliminates my worry that it might get lost, and the covered SD card slot is very welcome, because the darned thing always popped out in my 650. The only thing lost from the 650 is the reset button. To reset the 680, you have to take out the battery. That's not a big deal, since even on the 650, you have to remove the battery cover to get to the reset switch. What's better on the 650? The main thing for me is that the cell phone's radio is slightly more sensitive and that it will take 8gb SD cards (SDHC). I use this phone for everything, since it's also a great Palm organizer. In addition to that, I've installed a registered version of Pocket Tunes, so it's a very good MP3 player. It's even compatible with PlaysForSure, if you're into that. That's why I'm so happy to see the 8gb support. I also use the phone to play games, like Monopoly and Scrabble, when I'm waiting on line or in a boring meeting. I have absolutely zero complaints about this phone.
