The good: Executive design; good build quality; intuitive controls and interface; excellent phone functionality; speedy operation; 3G.

The bad: No Wi-Fi; weak multimedia feature set; 2.5mm audio jack; no front camera for video calls.

The bottom line: If you are willing to overlook the absence of Wi-Fi and weak multimedia functions, the Palm Treo 750v ironically provides the most enjoyable Windows Mobile experience to date.

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Excellent PDA phone
Cons: No WIFI and Low Camera output
Opinion:
Good phone

 

Best of Windows Mobile and Palm worlds



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: easy to use, phone functionality
Cons: no wifi
Opinion:
Palm Tre0 750v has a touchscreen but i don't think many users will use it. Almost all functions can be don w/o using the touchscreen and i guess this is a good transition device fro those coming from non-touchscreen devices and moving on to touchscreen ones. No wifi is a minor blip if you have a good data plan.

I had some doubts on the square screen but the more I use this, the more I keep forgetting about it.

And the 750v's biggest strength - this is actually a phone!

 

Great Phone - 3rd gen and improving by small but careful steps.



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: SMS Chat is the coolest experience, Touch Screen for dial pad is convenient.
Cons: No wi-fi, Too thick
Opinion:
I have been using Treo600&650(Palm OS), now Treo 750v(WM5)for 6 months, mainly for Phone calls, SMS, Sync Calendar + Email after end of working day + To do lists. It is about 3-4 key activities per day. So far the Treo has a good hand designing for above uses. Plus Exec Look and feel design.

Now Cons : lack of wi-fi means, fall back to GPRS for email checking + Internet, so-called always have connection (phone network), but far too expensive. Many place has wi-fi already, this is a must for next PDA Phone, even Blackberry have it now.

Improvement : Either upgrade the model with both Front and Rear GOOD cameria (min 3.0Mp), or simplest take them out, some place is not welcome Phone+Camera, set clear position.

Work on slim (keep the front size)- at least matching with Dopod C730 or Samsung i600. There are Smartphone users out there, waiting for slim Treo Phone.
