Description: The PalmOne (ex Handspring) Treo 600 is a high-end SmartPhone running PalmOS 5.x. It features PDA functionality, a camera and, in the US, either GSM (AT&T) or CDMA (Sprint, Cingular) mobile phome service.

The phone comes with a USB sync cable but older Linux distros don't recognize the phone over USB. A serial cable is available, however, and the phone synchronizes perfectly with Evolution (gnome-pilot), pilot-link, and and jpilot using that cable and your computer's serial port.
Keywords: PalmOS Phone Camera

While conventional Palm Pilot functions work flawlessly, the GSM phone functions are innaccessable unless you are using a windows machine. There is, for example, no way to access the phones AT command interface from USB. There is supposed to be an AT command interface on the IR interface, but I have no interest in this, so I've not tried it.

As only half of the device is accessable, I can only give it half marks with a bonus mark for being a really cute piece of kit :-)
