I'm seriously looking to get the Treo 600 - very impressed with its capabilities, but I've never used a PDA before and would like your feedback: what are some caveats, what are the benefits, and what would you like to see improved?

Also, any new updates (new phone) to the Treo 600 (like Treo 6xx or 7xx) coming?

 

I've had mine for a year. LOVE IT! It's pretty tough, too as I've dropped it a few times and it still goes. the ergonomics are tip top.

it is excellent for email and OCCASIONAL browsing (like for an address). The other plus is the memory expansion and the MP3/WMA capability. Data speeds with sprint are quick, like 100kbps.

I'd like to see bluetooth, a higher res screen, and a higher current rating for the SDIO slot to allow a SD wifi card.

the above will be out in the new model, code-named the "treo ace". Its rumored release is October. I'd wait for that, unless you can get a good deal on the 600. Make sure you get a replacement plan (not from best buy, through sprint or other carrier) as it's an expensive phone to break.

another big plus is battery life; it has a 1800mAh battery, twice that of other palms. It'll go 5 days + on standby no problem.
