The Scarlet Palmpernel July 13, 2007

I upgraded from my Palm 3 in July 2007, after nearly nine years of heavy use. There was nothing wrong with my Palm 3 as such, despite its decreptitude; it was just that technology has moved on an awful lot in that time and I decided to treat myself.
And WOW!, what a treat the Palm Treo is! The full keyboard, which looks like it might be fiddly, is actually quite easy to use. The colour screen is absolutely gorgeous, and being able to personalise the Treo with the use of colours and pictures is a nice touch. While it is bigger than my old Nokia phone, it's much smaller than my Palm 3, and you can do so much more with it.
And therein lies my one real gripe with this: despite the host of things that you can do with this genius bit of kit, the manual only barely touches on them. I have had to download a far more detailed manual from the internet, in order to help me get to grips with this it. Having said that, the programmes are quite easy to use, and it's easy enough to work your way around them.
I understand from reviews of the standard Graphite version that there are issues with battery life. I have to say that this doesn't seem to be relevant to the Crimson version, as it was released several months after the Graphite, and this is one problem that appears to have been ironed out (my boyfriend bought a Graphite at the same time as I bought my Crimson, and the difference in how they hold their respective charges is really quite astonishing).
Finally, since you're looking at this review and not the one for the Graphite, I should mention that the colour really is quite lovely - a proper crimson - and that it's also on the back of the Treo, something that PDA/mobi manufacturers sometimes miss out on in order to keep costs down (presumeably). The Treo is all the better for having the colour wrapped all the way around.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone looking to upgrade their PDA, especially with a view to moving from another make to Palm: as with Nokia, there are plenty of reasons as to why this make is a brand leader; others simply don't do the same jobs as well.
(N.B. Much to my astonishment, I have been able to transfer the data from my Palm 3 to my Treo, thanks to the avalability of software on the internet)
