Treonauts | Dedicated to your Treo 700 & 650. The Perfect All-In-One Communications, Information & Entertainment Tool.: Since I’m on the subject of storage there are two other things that I would like to see coming soon to our Treo. The first consists of adding support for the 1GB SIM cards that Samsung and others have developed (which naturally only work with GSM models) and/or the second would see the possibility of having an additional Mini-SD card (now also available in sizes up to 2GB) slot below the Treo battery so as to have a higher permanent on-board storage orders of magnitude higher than the 64MB currently on the Treo 700 series… (via Cosmos)

[Blog.treonauts.com] Treonauts | Dedicated to your Treo 700 & 650. The Perfect All-In ...: Given the fact that the Plantronics Discovery line of headsets has been among the bestselling ones for the Treo for quite some time (and that even Palm adopted it as its new high-end Treo headset) existing and very happy Discovery owners might however consider that I am being unduly harsh but the on-ear vs. in-ear matter is one that I personally consider important.
[Blog.tmcnet.com] Palm Treo 700p review: My guess is Verizon decided to support DUN on the Treo 700p or risk losing customers to Sprint who has never blocked Bluetooth DUN. Of course, as previously mentioned, Sprint's data connection maxes out at 144Kbps since they just recently started adding EvDO nationwide in select metro areas, so Verizon would still be my carrier of choice should I buy a Treo 700w.

[PalmAddicts] Palm "Just-In-Time" Magic: I turn 50 next month, and wonder why my 10 year-old son can't have the fun that I used to. Oh, sure...he has GameCube and Nintendo DS and even my old Treo 600...but he also has the most intolerant, terrified bunch of ninnies running the world he's growing up in.
[Slashphone.com - - mobile phone reviews, news, community] Palm's New GPS Navigator Smartphone Bundle: For Palm Treo smartphone users and GPS enthusiasts, Palm announced the Palm GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition, featuring new TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 software. Drivers using the new GPS Navigator with their Treo smartphones can rely on voice-guided, turn-by-turn directions to easily find their destinations as well as millions of points of interest, including gas stations, restaurants, parks, airports and more.
[The Gadgets Page - Gadget news and reviews for the real world] Why Doesn’t My Treo Have GPS?: GPS chips suck power from your batteries like you wouldn’t believe. That’s not much of an issue if you are using your GPS system in a car where you can plug it into the cigarette lighter, but on a handheld phone, it’s more difficult to keep your battery charged on the run.
[Gadgetell - The Tech News, Reviews, and Interesting Things Blog] This Week in Gadgetell: 7/30/2006 - 8/5/2006: We also hand a chance to test out both the Sprint and Verizon versions of the Treo 700p for the review. We also have a hunch that AOL will finally stop sending CDs to your house since they’ve officially declared themselves a free service (and are firing 5,000 to prove it).
