AT&T doesn't fix phones and I have to purchase a new one at full price.
If I can't find a low cost fix for this thing, I guess I'll have to go out to purchase a Blackberry or an iPhone.
HELP!

I think one of the speaker wires came off or its connection is barely there. If you can get the cover off maybe you can solder it with a small tip iron (.032) and low temp solder.
I don't know if the Treo has a headset receptacle, but if that works it is probably a connection and not anything electronic.
Oh man I hope this is no indication of what I have to look forward to with my phone. I have the Palm Treo 755 and sometimes it just turns off then back on. What's up with that?
hathor,
you are assuming that i'm a lot more handy with a soldering iron than i appear! since the issue is sporadic, i'm thinking that something is loose in there... i think i'll try to find one of those cell phone repair shops.
d-place,
yeah, my 680 reboots itself at least once a day (usually when i'm right in the middle of doing something). my wife says that i should scrap it for a Blackberry or an iPhone, but something tells me that whatever i have will have some inherent issues... by and large, i like the phone.
bite the bullet & get an iPhone. It will make you happier!!!

that unsightly antenna. Even with these improvements and others, there's still room for more

Palm Treo 680
A BRIEF UPDATE on my TREO 680:
a few months ago, i figure sometime in march, the issue with the buzzing noise in the speaker went away and has not returned.
i was working in milwaukee, wi... and the problem started when my TREO 680 fell out of my pocket into one of those huge snow banks in the hotel parking lot where i was staying (this occured on more than one occasion). now, i'm thinking the problem came from the inner-woven-mechanisms of my phone (particularly, the speaker) getting wet as the snow melted inside of it.
over the weeks, the moisture evaporated away and the speaker now works fine!
That is rough. I know just after the warranty on my phone was up, the front screen went white with one vertical line running through it. I could still make calls, but I was blind dialing. I had to just get a new phone, it's too bad I didn't know about cell phone repair sites like this one!
