New Treo 650 Owner

[cuba65]

I just bought my new TREO 650 from Verizon Wireless.
I was told that the data package was mandatory because of the promotional price (I got it for $299). The data package runs $45 a month, and at first I was a little hesitent, but man I have to say I'm rather impressed. This is my third PDA (PalmIII Xe, Sony Clie PEG-NR0, TREO 650). These things have come a long way. The processer is fast and internet connection speeds blow away a computer + conventional modem with a phone line. I was surprised that Verizon did not stick it's "Get It Now" feature/program on the TREO to custumize ringers and wallpaper etc. After a little searching on the web I found the mRing application which lets you add a specific MP3 to any contact. So far I have added a 1GB SD card (I did not realize that 2GB cards were available in SD format. Overall I'm pleasently surprised with my purchase, although I wish the camera had more megapixels.

Found this site by accident and have found it very helpful!

Congratulations and welcome not only to the Treo 650 club, but to Everything Treo. That's usually the deal with the promo price - we sell the Treo 650 at$199 w/ Verizon service and it too requires the data package. It is a bit steep, you'll appreciate having access to the web and email at all times.

You've found a feature that sets the Treo apart from regular phones. No more buying ringtones - just download any of your MP3's to your SD card and you're in business.

The feeling is mutual. Always nice to get a new member.
