Worst phone I have ever owned [Posted on 2008-09-16]
This phone is the single worst phone I have ever used. Honestly, this phone makes me miss my old Nokia 5190 brick just because of its simplicity. The Treo is a pretty decent PDA and good for making calendars, but the sync function (especially via Bluetooth) is pretty bad, and its cell phone capabilities are even worse.
The most important function of a phone - picking up calls - simply DOESN'T WORK. If you are writing a text message or trying to call someone and receive an incoming call, the whole phone freezes for about 30 seconds and just sits there. I have missed more calls in the last 8 months than the last 8 years because of this phone. It just doesn't pick up! I personally blame Windows mobile for making the whole thing sluggish and unusable. Trying to do too many things means that it doesn't do anything well.
If you want an organizer, great. But if you actually want a usable phone, don't even think about buying this slow, sluggish, non-responsive piece of junk.
The best function of this phone was when I smashed it on my driveway. Very satisfying.
A pretty decent phone [Posted on 2008-09-21]
Well, it does the job. It is a wonderful pda. As a phone, I have to say that it has a few things left to be desired. For instance, the clarity of the phone is just not that good. I have seen cheaper phones with great clarity.
By now, I would have thought that the size would have decreased. It is still a bit large.
The feature that I have not figured out is the hold button. When you are on the phone and have an incoming call, you switch over. But, when you switch back to the original caller, it still keeps the second caller on hold - even if you chose to hang up. All the while, you see the minutes adding up - go figure.
What I do like is all those features. When there is something that I do not understand, I simply go and chat with someone at palm.com. They will usually walk you thru whatever issue you have.
Because of so many features and having the ability to hot sync, I will certainly keep the phone - it is a small price to pay.
Nice...But not for me. [Posted on 2008-09-24]
I got this thinking it had WiFi, well it doesn't. I read the specs on it and it mentioned that it is great to surf the net...just only through the phone service. It is a nice phone for the ones that are looking for a pocket PC type. I am more the Palm OS, plus I find that it is easier with most of my collegues to exchange some of the programs that we have since most of us have palm OS stuff. Which it isnt compatible with this phone. It is hard to believe that even though it is made by Palm, they didnt make it so that you could transfer from a regular Palm OS to the PC operating system. I had the treo 650 and went to this one, the 750. Well good thing I kept the old one. I am back to using that one.
Perfect For the Business World! [Posted on 2008-10-17]
This is the best phone that I've ever owned hands down. I originally had a Moto Q and returned it after 5 days for the palm. The palm allows me to gain access to 4 email accounts as well as my microsoft Outlook account with frequent email updated daily. It has amazing storage capabilities as well, and can hold tons of media files.
I also keep my weekly calendar on this phone and have it synced with the calendar I use for my outlook account.
This phone is perfect for any business professional. It's a real keeper.
Horrible Phone [Posted on 2008-10-28]
The Palm Treo 750 is the worst phone I have ever owned...I had the Treo 680 which I loved and assumed the 750 would be a step up...not so.
1. You cannot personalize the desktop with icons, or I haven't figured it out yet.
2. I haven't been able to figure out how to get the call log on the desktop menu.
3. There seems to be buttons with no real purpose unless you program them.
4. It doesn't sync with the old operating system, so all the information, call logs, etc are lost.
5. I see no advantage over the Palm OS...windows for mobile doesn't load any faster, pick up email any faster.
6. The OS is larger, leaving less space on the HD and is prone to freezing.
I would not recommend this device to anyone who likes the Palm OS...this system, device is awkward to use, not user friendly, is hard to dial..
