Pros:

Palm OS

Phone and PDA that would be great separately but better together

Speakerphone

Lots of software at its disposal

Cons:

Lack of upgradeability (-.75)

Too little internal memory (-.25)

Conclusion:

The TREO 270, if I had one, would replace my phone and PAD in a heartbeat had I not known about the other benefits of a dedicated PDA, like Quake and Doom and portable multimedia. It’s an excellent tool for any user not interested in these functions, as 16 Megs would be more than adequate to store a great deal of contacts and appointments.

SLRating: 9/10
