In release order

As seen on Palm's support page, these carriers are the sole providers of support for the OEM phones.

Other carriers

Nextel (USA) and other iDEN providers are not compatible with the Treo 650, as this technology has not been integrated into the Treo platform. T-Mobile (USA) and other GSM carriers not listed above are compatible with the unlocked version of the GSM Treo 650.

NVFS controversy

At the time of its release, a significant number of users experienced problems with Palm's new Non-Volatile File System, or NVFS, based on the FAT filesystem. Compared to the Treo 600, the previous version of the Treo, the Treo 650 used more memory per file as the FAT filesystem rounded file sizes to the next highest 512-byte multiple. Because of the larger file sizes, some users upgrading to the Treo 650 from the Treo 600 were unable to fit the contents of their old device into the same amount of memory on the new device.

Treo (dog)

Treo (c. 2001 - 2015) was a black Labrador Retriever-English Springer Spaniel crossbreed and a retired Arms and Explosives Search dog with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps. He was awarded the Dickin Medal (considered the equivalent of a Victoria Cross for animals) in February 2010. The military nominated Treo for the award in recognition of his help uncovering a number of improvised explosive devices (IED) during his time serving in Helmand Province, an insurgency hot spot, in 2008. Treo was the medal's 63rd recipient.

Early life

Treo was donated to the Army because of his general misbehaviour and inclination to snapping and growling at people. His former owners' hopes were that the Army would straighten him out. He began a 12 week training course at the Defence Animal Centre after which he was deployed to Northern Ireland for three years with his first handler. When his first handler left the Army, Sergeant Dave Heyhoe took over control of Treo.

Service in Afghanistan

In 2008 Treo and his handler Sgt Heyhoe were deployed to Afghanistan, becoming one of 25 dogs supporting British troops there. On 1 August 2008 Treo found an IED, called a daisy chain because of the way multiple explosive devices are wired together, concealed by Taliban insurgents along the side of a path. In September 2008 he found a second daisy chain, both times saving the lives of British soldiers as well as civilians. His success at detecting IEDs did not go unnoticed by the insurgents, and intercepted radio traffic included conversations about "the black dog." He retired in August 2009 and was awarded the Dickin Medal in February 2010 at the Imperial War Museum in London.

Treo (drug)

Treo is a salicylate drug marketed by Johnson & Johnson in Sweden and Denmark, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains, as an antipyretic to reduce fever, and as an anti-inflammatory medication. The active ingredients are acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and caffeine.
