  Treo 600: Not Your Parents' PalmPilot

I loved my treo 600 when I got it. A beautiful phone/PDA, a huge grotesque keyboard that made people notice it. I liked the way it even linked to my Mac. Everything was great. I was going to write software for it, and everything would be wonderful.


Then I lost alot of interest with my phone when it unexpectedly deleted everything I had on there. In one day, I lost every contact, every application, every message i'd ever written. (your treo will store every text message you recieve) To make things worse, I lost the cabel. Now I must pay the same price for the connection cable that I paid for the origanal phone! I love my treo - but I relied on it too much. When it stings it stings bad so PLEASE remember to backup your data regularly.

    Sorry you had this problem. Yes, backups are a good idea. :-(


    I do not understand your comment about "Now I must pay the same price for the connection cable that I paid for the origanal phone!" You can buy replacement cables for about $20 from palmOne, and much less than that on eBay. Note that Treo 180/300 cables (but not cradles) work on the Treo 600.
