palm Treo 680 Crimson

Smartphone (AT&T)

 

It's time to expect more from your phone.

 

Say hello to the PalmŪ Treo™ 680 smartphone. It's your phone along with email, messaging, and web access.3 Not to mention your contacts, calendar, photos, and songs. Sounds like a lot. And it is. But everything's so easy to learn that you'll actually use it, which makes it anything but a typical phone.

 

The same goes for design. Pick it up and you'll notice a large color keyboard. Since the Treo 680 is just the right size, you have the freedom to take it anywhere and still be connected to friends, work, and family.4 Of course, there's also something called an "off" button, for when you don't want to be connected at all.

 


 

 

Curious about data devices, and looking to step up from a traditional handset to a smartphone with more power and features? Look no further than the Palm Treo 680 smartphone. Perfect for business customers, mobile professionals and just about anybody looking to get more out of their handset, the 680 is an amazing and affordable smartphone. With features like Bluetooth 1.2, 64 MB of internal memory, an SD card slot with support for up to 2 GB of memory, a digital camera with zoom and auto light balance, and a full QWERTY key pad with backlighting, the 680 goes above and beyond many far more expensive smartphones. It's also the perfect complement to Cingular Wireless service.

Design
Under the hood, the Treo 680 features Palm OS 5.4.9, 64MB of non-volatile flash memory available for user storage, and an Intel PXA270 312 MHz processor. The design retains the same popular form factor as the Treo 650 with a few subtle, yet significant, changes. The design is slimmer and lighter, while the updated OS provides for better phone and PDA application integration. The amazing 320 x 320 color touchscreen is still there, as is the full QWERTY backlit keypad. This time though, the expansion card slot is located on the right hand side of the unit. The expansion card slot is compatible with full sized SD cards, and supports up to 2 GB of memory (memory cards sold separately).

Calling and PDA Featuress
All of the Treo 680's phone and PDA functions are designed to provide an integrated, seamless experience. For instance, you can type in the name or initials of a contact on the keypad to dial them. Or, use the touch-screen and stylus to copy information from an email and quickly paste it into another email or text message.

Updated from the Treo 650, the 680 sports many improved and new phone/PDA features. The user can now see messages waiting in a preemptive alert window, and the favorites view is now in one vertical easy-to-see list. The length of the favorites list is only limited to available memory. A big dial pad can be formatted on the color touch screen, and the user does not need to go to another application to access the contact list; calling and contacts are all completely integrated. There's even an easy dialing prefix feature for when you're out of the country. Different country presets can be programmed into the 680 for true jet-setter world roaming and cell phone convenience. Lastly, easy access to recently visited applications can be achieved by holding down the launch key.

All of the latest phone features folks expect are built-in, too, like a handsfree speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones, a vibrate mode and picture caller ID. The capacity of the unit's address book is only limited by the amount of internal and expansion memory available. Use the Treo 680's Bluetooth capability to wirelessly sync your contacts with your PC or Mac (yes, Mac!). Headsets, car kits and other wireless peripherals can also be paired with the unit via Bluetooth.

The Treo 680 is also a fully functional Palm OS device. That means that a huge library of applications, from spreadsheets to word processors to games, can be added to the Treo 680. Download, view, and edit Word and Excel compatible files, rehearse a PowerPoint presentation, even review PDF files, directly on the 680's conveniently large color touchscreen. It's easy to perform multiple tasks like checking your calendar while talking on the phone or dialing calls directly from your contacts list. Familiar Palm OS software ships with the handset including calendar, calculator, clock, contacts, memo, and task management applications. Meanwhile, the unit's memory expansion slot allows you to transfer music, photos, and video from your desktop. Or, use it to load additional games and applications.

Messaging and Internet
The device fully supports SMS and MMS messaging for rapid exchange of pictures, text and video via Cingular's instant messaging system. Other Cingular services are also supported, such as mobile email and Web browsing. Download Web sites fast using Cingular's high-speed EDGE connection, and the included award-winning Blazer Web browser. You can even use Google maps while on-the-go to download turn-by-turn directions. Email is easy, too; with the 680, you can send and receive email from corporate and personal email accounts. You can also use your 680 smartphone as a wireless modem for your laptop (Cingular Wireless data charges apply).

 

Fun and Games
The integrated VGA digital camera included with the Treo 680 sports a 2x digital zoom, features automatic light balancing, can be used to capture video with 352 x 288 pixel resolution, and is outfitted with a handy self-portrait mirror function. If you want to take your tunes with you, the Treo 680 comes with the PocketTunes application, allowing you to load up all your favorite music on SD memory cards, and enjoy MP3 music on the go. Plus, with the ever-expanding library of Palm OS compatible games and other entertainment applications, you'll never be at a loss for something fun to do during break time.

 

 

Vital Statistics
The Palm Treo 680 weighs 5.60 ounces and measures 4.40 x 2.30 x .80 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of digital talk time, and up to 300 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Product Description
The Palm Treo 680 replaces the Palm Treo 650 as Cingular’s Palm OS offer. Treo 680 is a quad-band EDGE device with a Cingular-exclusive industrial design, expanded internal memory, Pocket Tunes™ music player. Treo 680 is expected to appeal to small/medium-sized business customers, mobile professionals and “smart communicators” – consumers who are curious about data devices and are looking to step up from traditional voice/feature handsets to integrated data & voice devices with more power and features.

 

See who's calling. Literally.
Simply add a caller ID photo to your contacts, and you'll be able to see who's calling. Use the built-in camera to shoot the photo—or match an existing photo with a contact. You can even use a photo as your wallpaper for the main view in the phone application.

Ringer on. Ringer off.
Silence your phone in an instant by using the ringer switch or the volume button. Or adjust the call volume while a call's in progress. And when you don't want to be heard, use the mute button in the active call screen to turn off the microphone.

Let's put you on speakerphone.
One touch of the speakerphone button lets you talk hands-free. Or keep things quiet and use the included headset. Either way, you can still access your calendar, documents, and other applications while you talk. And switching to the phone application is easy. Just press the phone key.

Ringtones galore.
You can choose different tones for different kinds of incoming calls. Beeps. Bells. Whistles. Songs. Even record your own voice. Assign them to known callers, unknown callers, specific contacts, and new voicemail. (Download compatible ringtones right to your Treo™ smartphone from your favorite website.)

Can't take the call? Fire back a text message.
Say you're on the phone, another call comes in, and you need to send a simple "can't talk now." It's fast and easy with the Ignore with Text3 feature.

No-hassle conference calls.
Managing multi-party conference calling is a snap. Just press a few buttons to add callers to an existing call. Or take someone off the call for a private conversation on the side. Either way, it's easy to keep track of who's who thanks to thumbnail images of the callers.
