Bad things about the Treo 600, or I'm annoyed as hell
Okay, just to be "fair and balanced", I have to tell you about 2 things that I find
extremely annoying about the Treo 600.
1) Download a ringtone, just one ringtone, and your system sounds are toast.
Apparently you have to download a ringtone manager, but neither one of the ones that
are available work on MY device.
2) And if you do download ringtones without a ringtone manager, the next time you
synch, they'll all be gone. All of them. Get Smart, gone. Pink Panther,
Gone. Pinball Wizard, Gone. All of them, gone. And remember, the systems
sounds are gone too.
On the plus side, it exactly fits in the Generation 2 IPod original case.

You are way off base on the system sounds issue... it is only you.I have downloaded many ringtones onto my 600 and I have all my system tones still in place. I have both emailed the tones and downloaded them off websites - either way, the system tones are fine. I think you have something special going on in your case. Did you have a ringtone manager on an older Treo that you migrated? - Anonymous

Ring tone-manager ? Sming-tone manager !!Has anyone tried emailing the .midi file containing the tone/sound/whatever of their choice (as attachment) to their Treo 600 ? Just click the attachment, save at the prompt and go into (or it'll probably take you to) 'manage' on the sounds screen - and there it is !! Auto inserted as a tone or ring ! And if you have them on your PC..... EASY ! IF you still have a problem with Hotsync getting rid, try editing your backup on your PC to add the tones to the config files..... - Anonymous

I had a similar problem with lost ringtones. Turns out that an old palm os4 program somehow created a conflict with the ringtones and I lost them. The only way to solve the problem was to delete the old program, do a hard reset and the restore using hotsync. I can't say which program caused the conflict--I got rid of a bunch of old ones. - Anonymous

I have had absolutely no issues with the Treo600. I agree with the comments about the low res screen and the voice dialing. Having owned the HP5550 had to get reaclimated to the Palm OS. I also agree this is the wrong tool if all you want are nice ring tones. However, I do wish I could find an alarm/alert tone similar to the basic Motorola Skytel pagers for SMS messaging since it now serves as my pager. - Anonymous

OK, I'm in.
I got a Treo 600 from Sprint for the low low price of $600. First problem: It rebooted every time I tried to turn on the phone. If I went around the back and tried dialing anumber in order to get it to prompt me to turn on the phone, it connected in roaming mode no matter where I was. Finally, if it lost the signal, the phone would reboot. I called Sprint, who transferred me to another department, then to Handspring, who put me on hold for 15 minutes while they researched the problem and told me to bring my phone in to be exchanged.
My "new" phone arrived a week later, and turned out to be a reconditioned phone. Two weeks after I got it, that phone died while I was on vacation. I went to the local Sprint store in San Diego, and was given a brand new phone to replace it. Sadly, since I was on vacation I didn't have access to the backup of all the data I'd uploaded for use on vacation (maps, schedules, flight information, phone numbers).
Now I'm on phone #3 and I'm experiencing the same problems that started me off: the roaming and rebooting. I hesitate to bring the phone in again to be fixed as I fear that I'll start yet another cycle of dead phones and lost data. All I can say at this point is that after 6 loyal years, Palm is dead to me. 22 months from now, when my contract is up, I'm buying a phone with a Windows-based OS. I'll never buy anything from Palm or Sprint again. - Anonymous

Am posting this in case somebody knows the answer to my problem. I called Palm One and they couldn't figure it out. I downloaded the Palm Os software from CD and website as well. But when I try to open the PalmDesktop it will give me this message: Cannot initialize rich support text. I can HotSync, though. And the pictures that I took transferred to the Treo Pictures folder on my computer. The phone is fine. I just can't download stuff my internet/computer to my phone via the PalmDesktop. Can anyone help? I am tired of installing and deinstalling the software. - Anonymous

I HAVE HAD MY TREO 600 FOR TWO WEEKS. SO FAR, I LOVE IT. I AGREE THE CAMERA IS WORHTLESS UNLESS YOU ARE IN BRIGHT LIGHT. THE SPEAKER PHONE SOUND COULD BE BETTER. I LIKE THE LIGHTED KEYPAD AND MANY OTHER FEAURES THE KYOCERA DID NOT HAVE. - Anonymous
