I Can Do Anything I Want With My Treo 650

From Wiki: “The Palm Treo 650 is a combination hybrid PDA/cellphone officially announced on October 24, 2004 as the successor to the company’s Treo 600. It began shipping in November 2004, and is still available in GSM form. The CDMA version has been superseded by newer models such as the Treo 700p, Treo 755p, Treo 700w, and the Treo 700wx, while the GSM version has been superseded by the Treo 680 and Treo 750v.”

The tech on my phone is about four years old, though I am not exactly your bleeding-edge consumer, so I bought the thing in more like 2006 or so. Still. The fact is that the Treo 650 can do anything I want it to, and even though Sprint will owe me $150 for an upgrade in April, I’m to be trippin’ it old school g.

I am present listening to Thom Hartman via Shoutcast on my Treo 650 using PocketTunes. I can if I like hear NPR on MunduRadio. I can search the Web via Genius, I can surf via OperaMini, which is nearly as true a surfing experience as is that Iphone deal—that is, if I gave a crap about a “true” surfing experience on a smartphone. A much better way to surf the web is a little gadget called “Xiino,” which partially strips down and reformats regular sites for your mobile screen.
