Moving around on your
Palm® Treo™ 680 smartphone
Have you ever been to a new city and felt a bit lost until you
figured out that the numbered streets run north/south and the
avenues run east/west? Learning to move around on your
smartphone is similar. Most Palm OS® applications use the
same set of controls. So once you learn how to use these
controls on your Palm® Treo™ 680 smartphone, you’ll be driving
all over town and you won’t even need a map.

The Phone application is your home base for making and receiving calls
and for storing info about the people you need to stay in touch with.
You can creatively manage multiple calls, such as swapping between
calls, sending text messages to ignored calls, and creating conference
calls with up to five callers. Your Palm® Treo™ 680 smartphone helps you
perform all these tasks with ease.
And you can do more than manage your phone calls, too. You can send
text messages, open applications, go to your favorite web pages, see
your upcoming appointments, and even find out how many unread
email messages you have.
