Title: Great Design -- software lagging WAY behind Pocket PC
Product review: I love the design of this phone. Unfortunately asthetics will only get you so far. Overall, this is a bust. The signal is greatly improved over the previous PocketPC Phone Edition, but the Palm OS 5 just falls WAY SHORT. If you have ever used a Pocket PC device, do not buy this phone. One thing after another keeps poping up. Things you just take for granted. Imagine that you have used MS Windows all your life and you switch to something that seems to look better. All the sudden, you can't view your files without a third party app, you can't transfer your files to a disk without a third party app. You have to jump through hoops to check your email or print and even then it's not reliable. Wouldn't that be awefull? I'm telling you, this Treo 600 phone is a BOMB! Looks great but a BOMB. It's light too... a light BOMB. It's cute and light not even heavy enough to make a good doorstop which would be it's best use.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
