silentknight329 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 so my buddy gave me a treo 600 and said the sound was hooched.. but he didnt give me the charger to test it.. cause he lost it... so is it worth it to buy a new charger even though i have a cell already? and is there a way to charge it through the usb cable i got one but the red light for the treo wont go on when i plug it in to my computer or a usb wall outlet... any suggestions?

VaKo Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Run linux on it and buy a modern smart phone. I loved my Treo 650 so much I almost cried when it finally kicked the bucket but the Samsung i600 that replaced it is a better phone.

VaKo Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have no idea who Roger is or why you have his phone. Regarding the install linux idea, i don't know how well that will work tbh. I know there was a project for the Treo 650 (http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/PalmTreo650) but it was never that good IMHO (it was basically a PDA OS with a phone driver nailed on the side). I would start there and dust off your google skills if your still interested but TBH the Treo you have represents an item of history rather than something you can re-purpose for a modern task (with ease).
