Palm, the folks that brought you the lovely Treo, is facing a lawsuit from Treo owners. The class action suit filed in Santa Clara California covers both the Treo 600 and Treo 650.

At all pertinent times, Palm represented to the public, including Class members, that the Treo 600 and 650 were quick, dependable and reliable hand-held organizers and mobile telephones; that they were free from defects; and that they were of merchantable quality and workmanship. In fact, these phones suffered from extremely poor sound quality and buzzing, choppiness, speakerphone problems, poor and broken screens, phone crashes, software crashes and electrical surges.
