A handful of Treo accessories
So you just bought a Treo 650 – what’s next? Welcome to the neverending accessories trap. First you buy the phone, then a case, then …
Anyway, here are my recommendations:
You spent HOW MUCH on your treo? Anything above $400-500 would require some protection for your investment, so don’t get stingy with a case. This slim case fits perfectly for Treo 650 and it has comes with detachable belt clip. There’s direct access to all buttons of your device without removing it from this case, including a cutout at the back for the camera.
2. Sandisk Ultra II 1GB SD card
It will take about a day to realise that the Treo 650’s meager 22MB available memory is just too small for comfort. Luckily Secure Digital (SD) cards are getting more affordable these days. A 1GB card is ideal – enough for a movie, your documents, photos and your music.
The Sandisk Ultra II 1GB SD card is fast : minimum sustained write speed of 9MB per second and a read speed of 10MB per second.
2GB cards are already in the market (and 4GB coming soon!) but at the moment they are still too expensive for the casual user.
The Treo 650 can last approximately 2 days of heavy usage. If you don’t want to get caught with your battery dead (it is, of course, now your phone as well), then invest in a spare battery. With the new NVFS memory, you won’t lose any data on your Treo while changing batteries.
Once upon a time, all Palm PDAs came with cradles as a standard accessory. In these days of cost-cutting, the cradle became a casualty. You can still buy one, of course – PalmOne offers one for the Treo 650 that charges your Treo and a spare battery at the same time. This three-in-one kit includes a stylish cradle, spare battery charging drawer, cable, and 110-240 volt charger with international adapters (US, UK, Europe, Australia).
