Tips & Warnings

• The manufacturer's homepage has a model comparison chart that features all product models available. It lists all Treo products in an easy side-by-side comparison.
• Pay close attention to the numbered notes at the bottom of the comparison chart. They are full of useful information that can help you make your decision.
• Bear in mind that this is a manufacturer's Web site that may not provide balanced information. It is useful in comparing specific Treo models, but makes no comparisons between its products and those of competing manufacturers.
• For a less potentially biased comparison, consider checking out one or more of the consumer product Web sites available, but remember that many of these sites require a subscription.
