Palm Treo 700p

I am a palm lover since 2000. I bought my first palm V from Dubai duty free shop at $360.00. It was a simple black & white organizer including sync option with PC – that’s all. I have got Treo 700p this year – a PDA phone with unlimited features.

“The Palm® Treo™ 700p smartphone delivers everything you need in one go-anywhere, Palm OS® device. It combines a smarter phone with wireless email2 and messaging2, built-in web browser2, and rich media capabilities — all at blazing fast broadband-like speeds3 (Palm website).”

“Be productive even while you're away from your desk. Work on important files with built-in support for native Microsoft® Word, Excel®, and PowerPoint® documents, a PDF viewer, and 60MB of dedicated user storage (Palm website).”

What I most like of the Treo 700p is POP3 email download via GPRS. As an active ebay seller, I always keep my one eye open on ebay to track my selling – at my dinner and lunch table, at my workplace, in the car, or even in the toilet! Treo 700p has made it easy with its POP mail service and excellent quality blazer web surfing.

Chat style SMS organization is one of my favorite features on Treo 700p. It’s very convenient and fast to type SMS and other text because it has QWERTY keypad. Music lovers find it very useful for its integrated real player with blue tooth capability and it supports gigabytes SD card – you can watch movie if you want!

Picture quality of camera is improved a lot from Treo 600 & 650. Screen is wonderfully bright and smooth. It includes 2x digital zoom. Treo 700p also have ability to take video clips!

In this Internet era, people maintain dozens of subscription credentials for mail, ebay, paypal, Internet banking, credit cards etc. Splash ID on Palm OS is the right secure system to keep all of these credentials.

It’s phone log is fantastic to trace any incoming and outgoing calls as it keeps hundreds of call information. Treo 700p is capable of word processing using extra package.

I am a soccer fan. Palm & Tiny stocks released wonderful small software free for palm users. I loved it for it’s easy to update and manage World Cup 2006 schedule, scores etc.

“Download any of the thousands of Palm OS® applications available. Or, relax and play your favorite music and videos right on your device. With this user friendly solution in hand, you can stay connected2 and productive on your terms (Palm website).” Treo 700p users can download and install in a minute without any computer expertise – this is excellent!

Most amazing quality of Treo 700p is – it almost never crashes. Battery life is 10 days + on standby. I used to charge every 4-5 days as I use it often.

The only downfall is the low ring tone volume unlike usual mobile phone like Nokia or Samsung. It has vibration – I don’t have any problem to receive a call even in the big crowd.
