This latest Palm handheld uses similar hardware to the Palm Treo 750v, so most of our favourable comments about ergonomics apply. The main difference is that the 680 runs Palm OS version 5.4.9 (Garnet), including a new phone application sporting a t...

The Treo 680 is a step up on its predecessor, dropping the 650's antenna stub, improving its software and increasing its memory size. It's just a shame Palm couldn't squeeze rather more out of the handset's battery. But the 680 is competitively priced... |

Palm views its new 680 as a cross-over smartphone device. It lacks some of the power that other Treos have but is available for much less money, opening them up to new segment of consumers. Brad tests it out and comes away impressed.
