Hi

My cell contract recently expired and I was able to sell my P800 and buy a new phone. Without doing a lot of research I found the Treo 600 to be the most featured-filled phone available at the time, so I picked that one.

After using the SE P800 for over two years, and with a little over four months using the TREO 600 (having never used Palm OS before) my conclusions are: SE gives you more bang for your buck.

When I originally bought my SE P800 it came with everything I needed, charger, stereo headphones / hands free, a cool cradle, extra stylus, memory stick, usb cables, even a cd with several cool applications and games. During the two years that I used P800 I found many cool applications for the phone, but I must say that the phone was pretty packed right out of the box. Excellent browser, a good e-mail client and I didn't have any trouble synchronizing with Outlook (e-mails with attachments and everything).

From my TREO, pretty much the only thing I like about it so far is that the SMS messages are displayed as a chat session, phone reception is a little better than in the P800 and finally that I can reuse my digital camera's SD cards storing many Mp3 files (for which I then had to purchase pTunes to play).

My conclusions are that since both phones are about the same price, and P800 came out like three years earlier than the TREO 600, it is by far a superior device, and it also has all the applications you may need. In order to get my Treo to the same level that my P800 had when I took it out of the box, I have to spend like 150 to 200 dollars in purchasing applications such as Versamail (synchronize outlook email folders), Dataviz (view MS Office docs), pTunes (play Mp3 files), and who knows what other software for features I am yet to be disappointed to see that are not "out of the box" available on my Treo 600.

Those thinking about migrating from P800 to Treo600: don't do it. Get a P910 instead.
