Rethink the Palm Treo
I have owned my Palm Treo for two years and it is my primary phone. From the beginning I have experienced several problems with the phone. 1. **Phone Gets Hot.** With growing concern over the risk of cancer associated with cell phone usage, my number one complaint regarding the Palm Treo is that the phone gets very hot after prolonged use. It becomes so hot in fact that I no longer put the phone to my ear. I either use speaker phone or use a bluetooth. 2. **Battery Life is Short.** Another frustrating aspect of the Palm Treo is that its battery life is very short. Inevitably I must charge my phone every night if I want to have any remaining power the following day. 3. **Phone Freezes.** Admittedly the phone is getting older (two years), but recently the phone has also begun to freeze, meaning that the keys completely lock up. In order to rectify the problem I have to take out the battery and insert it again. 4. **Does Not Work Well with All Bluetooths.** While I must admit that the Palm Treo connects almost effortlessly to bluetooth devices, the service that I receive is generally problematic. Either there is static or the person to whom I am speaking cannot hear me. Initially I thought that this was a problem with the bluetooth device itself, but after testing the bluetooth with another phone, I realized the issue was with the Palm Treo.
