SMT 5600 vs Treo 650
Hi. Does anyone have any thoughts on the SMT 5600 vs. Treo 650 for Cingular? I am a complete newbie to smartphones and primarily need something to keep all my contacts in, an organizer and of course, a good phone. I am a bit intimidated by all that the SMT 5600 can do, I'm wondering if it's all a bit over my head....
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I think you'll find the SMT 5600 to be much more "phone like" than the Treo 650. The SMT 5600 is smaller, looks more like a phone, and has fewer buttons, with a more phone-like dial pad. Based on your needs, I think you will enjoy the SMT 5600 over the Treo. |

SMT 5600 vs Treo 650
Thank you so much for the reply. One more question - do you find the lack of the keyboard annoying on the SMT? I worry about having to enter appointments on the go - it seems that it would take forever!
Thanks again.

I am not sure if you use Microsoft Outlook, but that is how I enter my appointments into my 5600. I really didn't use the calendar feature on it until I got my 5600, now - having all the info in my pocket makes me much more organized. If I have to put an appointment in from the phone I do, but most of the time I put the appointment in from my computer.

I don't know that you can really, honestly compare the two devices. The Treo is more along the lines of the PDA2K - a Pocket PC Phone Edition device with a keyboard and touch screen. While the SMT 5600 is more along the lines of a Nokia 6670 Smartphone. Both are phones first, no touch screens, no keyboards, built around one-handed operation.
There are a lot of differences between the two devices. The first thing you need to decide is; Do you want a phone-first device? or a data-first device?

Thanks so much for the replies. I never thought this would be a tough decision! The last reply posed an important question. It's hard to say, because I suspect that once I have all these capabilities at my fingertips, I'll use them. As of now, I don't use my palm often because I hate carrying around both a phone and a palm. But once everything I need is in one place, I'm sure I'll get into using it and playing with the cool features of either device. If I do get the SMT, you'll probably see me back here, trying to figure out how to set it up, once it's unlocked...
I'm such a newbie!
