Handspring Treo 300: The Ultimate (2002) Cellphone

byEd.Williamson Dec 16, 2002

42 Helpfuls 43 Helpfuls

Pros A veritable plethora of mind-boggling techno-jollies

Cons Expensive but weigh the cost and it is well worth it in the long run.

Recommended it? Yes

I had been having a running battle within my mind for a long time as to whether or not to get a PDA (Personal Data Assistant).

Pros Compact size, speakerphone, voice quality

Cons Difficult navigation, screen lighting, need for stylus + keyboard

Recommended it? Yes

Pros Tons of features, great price.

Cons Size of the unit, Pocket PC OS.

Recommended it? Yes

Pros Good price, good features, high quality screen.

Cons A little bulky

Recommended it? Yes

Dell is in a unique position. Their marketing muscle allows them penetration into companies that vary in size from the corner store to the top of the Fortune 100. Their lean manufacturing techniques combined with the volume of business they do allow them economies of scale that are the envy of all... Read full review »
