Treo Owners file Class Action Lawsuit Against Palm

Three California consumers filed a class action lawsuit yesterday on behalf of other customers against Palm, Inc. for selling defective Treo 600 and Treo 650 Smartphones. The case was filed in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara.


In their complaint the plaintiffs allege that both devices suffer from numerous inherent defects that impair its functionality. These alleged problems include:

-- Extremely poor sound quality manifesting itself in a buzzing sound that is heard by the recipients of telephone calls made from the Treo 600.

-- Lost calls resulting from the Treo 600 spontaneously resetting itself in the middle of a phone conversation.

-- Frequent freezing and crashing in the Treo 650 that requires the use of a hard reset during which all stored information is lost.

The Treo retails in some cases for as much as $600. According to the New York Times more than 1.7 million Treos have been sold.
