The Smooth Handle Palm Treo 750
The Palm Treo 750 is billed as a smart phone, it’s much more the PDA than some people might ever use. From personal information management, to Microsoft Office and other applications, to the ability to weak it to do nearly anything that you want to do, this is really an accomplished mobile device – only held back by the operating system ability to suck away system resources and a sometimes confusing user interface.
The Palm One 750 as a phone, relatively normal battery life. The whole days usually consisted of number of hours on the phone in the day and it handled those easily. The two days before good talking with the occasional low battery warning on the third day near the middle of an hour-long call. This also means that the device spent a lot of time in the standby mode. The voice quality was excellent. When using the speaker phone portion, people came in clear, but could hear background noise easier. In some instances people did not know that they were on a speaker phone, while in other conversations they remarked that they could hear themselves speaking.
My main devices of comparison to the Palm Treo were two of Palm’s other smart phones; the 750 is definitely much more powerful than both in terms of being able to do more. However, the ability to do more comes at a price. My review 750 needed to be reset every few days because the system was just sluggish. The neat touches and especially the Today screen implementation offer a great deal of functionality that cannot be had on either of the other models without downloading additional programs. The Palm One 750 contacts application, as explained earlier, is nothing fancy, but gives you a similar contact card view that you would find in Outlook on the desktop with multiple numbers for contacts. The Tasks application is about the same barebones affair. While you can add alarms and notes to task items, the interface for the Task application does not seem to line up with the “ease of use” mantra that this model shows in other applications.
On the rear of the 750 you find the camera, self-portrait mirror, and speaker. While the speaker has a great placement for listening to music or using the speaker phone, the camera is too low on the device and because of the natural way you hold the 750, your finger can block part of the lens. Adjusting your fingers makes it somewhat awkward holding the device while taking a picture. Overall, though, I found the 750 quite comfortable to hold and use. The soft-touch paint kept the 750 from slipping in my hands. I did have some trouble adjusting to the bottom of the thumbboard for typing.
Battery life when just used as a phone is nearly as good as the 750, and greatly outshines. However, if you are using the push email functionality of Exchange, you will find that you can get no more than one day of use, if you make more than an hour’s worth of phone calls. While slimmer in profile, that smaller battery and efficient processor just cannot compensate for everything. Other applications that were easy to use and mostly helpful were the Wireless Manager – used to set up cellular and Bluetooth connections, and was accessible right from the Today screen. Voice Command was a pleasant surprise and even worked well when using my BT headset. Please purchase online http://www.luckywirelessusa.com for more details.
