Now you have the thinnest and the lightest Treo. Alas! the reduction in size doesn’t come without its shortcomings.
I’m particular with the treo 680 battery. You’ll easily know how important this is when out in the middle of a very important talk with a business contact, your Treo 680 dies out because of the battery.
This happened to me a couple of days ago. Very embarrassing indeed. Luckily, I was able to get a landline connection nearby and continue my call with the business contact.
Because of this I tried to google what would be the possible reasons of this shorter battery life.
I discovered that due to te reduced size of the battery, its talk time was also reduced. I mean, I had a treo 650 before and I was expecting at least equal talk time if not longer with my treo 680.
Well, Palm has placed 1200mAh battery instead of the 1800mAh standard Treo battery. The result was a reduced thickness for the 680 from 10mm to 6mm.
I’m a businessperson and not quite a techy guy, but just by looking at the figures, the 1200mAh battery of the Treo 680 is without a doubt inferior to the 1800mAh which the standard Treo phones have.
Well, I checked the promised talk time of the 680 and yes it says 4 hours whereas the treo 650 has 6 hours. Sorry for me, becauseI was really attracted to the slimness of the Treo 680 that I overlooked this.
If talk time is not that important to you, then you can still go with the treo 680.
