First Review of the Treo 600 Smartphone

jlouderb writes "Handspring debuted the biggest product at last week's lCeBit show in New York. Lots of news articles were written about the Treo 600, but I actually got to borrow one of the few prototypes for a day." Looks like the only real negatives are that there's no protection for the screen, and no removable battery, otherwise it's a tight little device. It'll be interesting to see the release model in action.

Perfect

Still, after about a day of using the device for Web browsing, e-mailing, making phone calls, and taking pictures, we came away impressed.

Yes, but how well does the file sharing work?

That's it, it's already ruined for me

That's great, thanks for showing me how easy it is to scare off all my friends and coworkers.

I need to know...

Is this Treo 600 small enough to fit in my ass in case I'm held in a seedy communist North Korean or Iranian concentration camp? I have no need to wear a watch and tell time using my cell-phone.

Plus, I have trips to Tehran and Pyong Yang coming up...
