PDA and phone combined: Palm Treo 600 (2003)


Well known for the Palm Pilot range of PDAs, Palm's Treo 180 (launched in 2001) made plenty of waves in the US, but never managed to make it to Australia. The Treo 600 did though, and was released in 2003 on the Telstra network. Widely acclaimed due to its combination of PDA features with a mobile phone, the Treo 600 featured a full QWERTY keyboard, a colour display, a five-way navigational pad and ran the Palm OS 5 operating system.
