Treo 750 Review
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I previously had a treo 650 and aside from the frequent resets and power off issues, I may have been content to continue using it.
I read all the reviews before selecting the 750, and I must say that most have been right on.
If you've had other treo's, for example the 680 which did not have many of the problems which I experienced with the 650, you may feel like you've taken a step backwards with the 750. I cannot say this with certainty because of my experience only with the treo 650, but I will say that the Palm OS seems to be an operating system that anyone could stumble through.
The Windows OS is a bit more difficult to navigate, primarily because you need to find the correct operating file or folder in order to customize/personalize many of the features. When you know how to navigate through the system, the differences are really a wash.
I really like the Windows Media Player on the 750; with the 650, I had to convert everything to Real Player format before my device recognized the music files. Simply transferring music files from my PC to my 750 mobile was a breeze and a simple search of your storage card results in all the music being transfered into Windows Media Player.
Windows OS makes setting up personal email accounts, with corresponding notifications, a breeze; and 3G compatability makes the 750 mobile downloads two or three times faster than I experienced with my 650.
That said,however, there are a number of shareware/freeware sites that offer downloads for Palm OS, and not so many for the 750 Windows OS. If you've grown to love the versatility that a mobile device can offer with all its application, this is a downside for this device.
I had read that the screen resolution decreased from the 650 which is 320x240 to the 750 which is 240x240, but I must say that on a 2 1/2 inch screen , the difference is negligible.
The camera on the 750, while only 1.3 mp, it much better than the VGA on my 650. Colors and lighting are noticibly better on the 750.
Speaker volume on the handset is lacking, much like the 650, but VolumeCare doesn't appear to offer an upgrade for the Windows OS yet.
I love the internal antenae of the 750, and the overall feel with the rubberized skin of the 750 makes the large size of the device deceptive.
All in all, I do think that the 750 is an upgrade, at least to the 650. I'm no techie, but this device was easy to use from the start, and after a couple of days familiarizing myself with the Windows OS, I feel that I got a great phone at a great price.
