Well, I did it – I upgraded from my Motorola v300 to the Treo 600. The v300 was a good friend, but it was not possible to read or answer E-Mail on it.

I also upgraded my image software to handle the MMS messages the come from the treo600 as well as the v300 – I have not yet released it. I have released the v300 version of the software. I have to get to real work this morning so I don’t have the time to clean it up for release.

Here is my review of the Treo-600

Pretty darn cool. The keyboard works better than I thought. I had thought that it was too small but the keys are dome-shaped so you can hit them pretty quickly even with big thumbs. The screen rocks. It syncs up nicely with MeetingMaker. The built-in mail only works with Pop so I had to get SnapperMail – I got a free Beta and like it so far. The keyboard lock is pretty neat. I added a password on restart for my own security.

The main task left to do is to turn it into a Modem on the Mac. Sadly, I still carry around my v300 and swap SIM chips to get modem access. Ah well – another day to fool around.

All in all I like it. It pisses me off that I pay $600 for a thing and then I have to pay about $100 more for basic software that should have been there. (Mail package and CDMA modem).
