Could you go back?
21 July 2006Treonauts asks this question about the Treo – For all those happy Treo owners out there, could you own a regular phone again? How about a smartphone that isn’t a Treo? Even though every Treo I’ve owned has had it’s share of demons, I have trouble imagining not owning a Treo. In fact, when I [...]
Most expensive Treo case
15 July 2006I’ve never been a fan of Vaja – their cases always seemed way too expensive for me, at $60 – $80… I was out. If I want a case, $30 is the absolute max before I’m out. I just can’t see spending so much money on something I know I’ll replace as soon as the [...]

Finally ordered the Treo 700p
10 June 2006Thursday night, around 7:00 PM I finally broke down and did it. I gave Palm $550 of my money in exchange for better drugs err… a Treo 700p. My 650 has lasted me just over a year and a half – it’s about time to put her to rest. I knew I would get a [...]

Palm Treo 700p Review at CNet
18 May 2006CNet reviews the Palm Treo 700p and writes – ‘Surfing the Web on the Palm Treo 700p was a relatively good experience.

We also watched an episode of Fox’s Prison Break [...]

Treo 700p release date firming up
11 May 2006Someone over at the TreoCentral boards got ahold of a “playbook” of sorts from Sprint themselves. This playbook shows a release date of May 28 for a Palm Treo device. Notably, it does not mention 700p or 700w, so we’re only assuming at this point that it will be the 700p. It’s getting so close [...]
My Journey to the Treo world
28 April 2006Sometimes I wonder how I ever came to be a Treo / smartphone fanatic. I decided to draw a roadmap of how I came to own a Treo. It was a pretty long process, and involved a lot of bouncing around here and there. It all started with a cheap, plastic screened PDA….. Palm M100 [...]

Treo Hollywood Pictures Released
18 April 2006Treonauts has posted some actual photos of the Treo Hollywood. It’s slimmer, sleeker, and antenna-less.

How do you pronounce Treo?
17 April 2006Is it Tr – eeee – o or Tr – ay – o? I’ve always said Treo, but a guy I work with calls it Trayo. The little umlaut ( ?? ) over the E makes me wonder which is the proper pronunciation. Perhaps this is one of those Tomato-like words that is pronounced however [...]
