"Best Treo I have used."
Pros: 3 times the memory of the 650, no antenna, faster browser and it can now do push email from exchange.
Cons: Battery life. Lags betwen apps.
Summary: While the 650 was a leap ahead of the 600. The 680 is only a couple of steps ahead. I have owned the Treo 600, 650 and now the 680 and I really think that the 680 is the best one yet. I also had the 700w for a couple of months, but decided to go back to palm os. The new phone app is very user friendly and the added memory is a blessing. I used to get a lot of error messages on my 650 regarding low memory, the 680 fixed that. I have a bunch of apps stored in my device and have yet to see an error message regarding low memory. I can also tell the browser and the general data connection is faster. I know both devices run on the edge network but, the 680 renders pages faster and mobile tv does not cut off every 3 seconds like it did on my 650. It sucks that it doesn't have a 3G radio for data but, I can stream music, podcasts, (Buzz out Loud is my favorite)and mobile tv so I'm happy. And the fact that it doesn't have an external antenna makes it better looking. I do feel that this is the best Treo running palm os.
