What is it: The latest Palm OS smart phone, complete with mini keyboard
What we think: Not a huge jump on from its predecessor, this is a very competent smart phone in some respects, but disappointing in others

We like:
Good mini keyboard; very good software bundle; SMS chat thread views; good Web browser; accessible SD card slot
We don't like:
Poor camera; mono earbud supplied; 2.5mm headset jack; disappointing battery life
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Palm Treo 680 doesn't set the pulse racing with great, innovative new features -- instead it builds on the solid foundations of past Palm OS Treos. Sturdy efficiency sits alongside some stuff that's frankly baffling

Sony Ericsson W980 Walkman
Feature-packed and decent-sounding, but it won't replace a dedicated MP3 player
Nokia 6650
We love the 6650's GPS features, but we wish Nokia had paid more attention to its styling
Sony Ericsson Z750i
The design won't appeal to everyone, but the Z750i offers a good range of features for the price
Samsung F400
A nice enough phone, but without any notably impressive features, it's easily overshadowed by other handsets
