4.0 out of 5 stars Good phone at a decent price, beware of other biased reviews., March 8, 2009

This review is from: Palm Treo 750 Unlocked Phone with 3G, MP3/Video Player, and MiniSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Wireless Phone Accessory)

So I'm reading some reviews on the Treo 750 and it seems all the negative reviews are by people who are completely incompetent with technology and using Google. Let me first warn anyone who is technologically handicapped, do not buy this phone. You will get lost in all the OPTIONS, that are available within the phone.

On with my review:

Windows Mobile can do basically everything you want, just not in the prettiest manners. Upon receiving my Treo 750, it came with Windows Mobile 6. It worked well but had some slight bugs, so I upgraded to 6.1 which also has bugs but none that bother me. 6.1 is definitely snappier than the bundled version of windows mobile 6. You WILL NOT find the upgrade on Palm's Website, you'll need to Google this.

Call Quality: 8/10
Calls are crisp and clear. I have no problems hearing the other person in a busy street, and they have no problems hearing me. Although the speaker phone is slightly distorted at higher volume.

Battery Life: 8/10
Windows mobile devices and any other smart phone/pda (ie. Iphone, Blackberry) are known to have battery life that doesn't last. This is because of the processing power in these devices. The Treo has a 312mhz processor. My first Pentium II computer had a 300mhz processor. Seriously, what do you expect? My experience with the treo is that it will last me an entire day with heavy usage, but when I have it on standby (meaning not using it for anything) the battery last for at least 2 to 3 days.

Overall Design: 7/10
It's a little thick but this phone came out in Dec 2007, so it's not surprising. The curves on the side make it feel thinner than it really is and makes the phone feel very nice in your hand. The rubbery feel of the body is nice, and not slippery. The small keys take getting use to, but once you do, you type extremely fast. The screen is nice, bright, and big, but I wish it was at least 320x320 instead of 240x240.

Usability: 8/10
Windows Mobile is a powerful operating system, there are programs to do basically anything, but it isn't all in one place like you have it on the Android phones or Iphone. There are thousands of free programs and others are paid. I personally don't need any programs that you need to pay for.

Cons:
- Windows Media player will absolutely not goto the next song in the play list unless you have the ringer set to on instead of vibrate.

- In 6.1, the screen is still enabled when you press the power button to view the time while in locked mode.

-Interface isn't fun to look at.

-Lacks wi-fi

Conclusion:
I'm waiting for version 6.5 and 7 of windows mobile to come out which drastically changes the way Windows Mobile looks and also includes a app store. If you can get this phone for under $200, i would say do it. If you like to text message, the threaded sms is great. Few bugs in the OS but doesn't affect the overall usage. And the amount of software available for windows mobile is overwhelming.

I bought this phone 2 weeks ago, and I can tell you that is awesome, my previus phone was a cingular 8125 (QTEK 9100) which is a very nice cellphone too but not as cute as this one, the only thing that is missing in this unit is the Wi-Fi, everything else is fine, very fast, comes with Windows Mobile 6 Pro so you won't need an update, the camera is 1.3MP which is quite good too.

Pros:
-. Very small & light design
-. Nice surface, very clean.
-. Windows Mobile 6 Professional
-. Voice Command enabled
-. Do everything with one hand
-. Includes vehicle & wall charger

Cons:
-. No Wi-Fi
-. Comes without a case.

I'm very happy with this phone and I would definitively recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone! Not so great Software!, April 19, 2010

I love the Palm 750. It is a great durable phone that works well in a 3G environment. Finding SD Ram in "Mini" format is still easy, but may require a bit of a challenge in vendor location, due to very few providers using "Mini" SD cards any longer. Kingston, a memory manufacturer, makes an adapted that fits the "Micro" SD card, which is now the standard for all 3 and 4 G phone. The Palm Treo 750 is a hardy phone and will take some abuse with a flexible stylus that stays in place. The phone could use a little better camera but does offers unlimited video sizing instead of the maximum 30 seconds some other phones limit you to.

The Palm Treo 750 does not require using the Palm interface software, although it is available through Palm store. In fact, the Palm Software store has a section for the unlocked Palm 750 which is great. Downside to the phone is that the screws will work themselves loose from time to time around the case, but that is a small fix, with a little hex head driver and just a quick check every few weeks will keep everything manufacturer tight. Keeping the phone' case helps the phones performance tremendously. Microsoft software Mobile 6.0 is good enough and interfaces with Google apps with only minor bugs.

To summarize, I love this phone over the smeary touch screen phones. I suppose, for the price of this unlocked phone it is a great deal for the person who uses the windows office features to stay organized. Great primary or back up phone. Just let your provider know, if you switch back say from an android phone to your old trust worthy Palm750 Treo.
