Palm Treo 750v

Advantages One machine to carry. Quick internet access. Easy to operate
Disadvantages Lousy camera, ringtones

...Having been a heavy user of palm pda's for a few years I was reluctant to part with them, however it was getting a bind carrying my mobile phone and pda around with me. I thought long and hard about the choices and decided to stick with Palm and go for the Treo 750v. I sold my phone and pda on ebay and away I went. I have now used the Treo for 4 weeks and feel I made the right decision... why? The treo if is has any fault is larger than my mobile phone and it took some getting used to the size, also I don't always get the same clarity with reception. I miss the palm os software and slowly I am now getting used to the windows mobile programme which is on the Treo. I like the way that you can seamlessly move around the programmes. I use the calendar, notes, tasks, word programme, internet explorer and messages on a regular basis. I... Read review

Advantages Best compromise between PDA and high-end mobile phone I've seen yet.
Disadvantages No facility to charge via mini USB cable.

...Super device. Everything you would expect is present. The 750v integrates well with Microsoft Exchange/Outlook and operates in an efficient manner. The camera picture and sound quality are adequate. This device offers a good compromise between the functionality of a top-end mobile phone and a PDA. As a former Blackberry 7100v user the only features I miss are the Blackberry track wheel and the ability to charge up the device via a mini USB cable. The Blackberry however has no camera. The full QWERTY keyboard compares favourably with the BB which, on my model, used one key to represent 2 characters and one numeric. The stylus operated touch screen is responsive and the stylus fits nicely into the unit. I have a 2GByte mini SD expansion card fitted for extra capacity. The software supplied allows browsing the connected device... Read review

Advantages Fully usable handheld computer and phone combined
Disadvantages Battery life, small standard memory

...a powerful vibrating battery, or do I go for LG's Shine, a supremely sexy looking mobile phone built with LG's legendary (ahem) quality? There's the Nokia N93i, which looks like it's designed to either inflect extreme pain or extreme pleasure, or there's the somewhat unpronounceable Motorola KRZR K1, which is less motorbike and more fashion phone of choice for the elite. At the end of the day, however, I choose my phones on the basis of what I'm actually going to use them for every day so - even though the mighty N95's DVD-quality camera and built-in GPS software was appealing, and even though its double-slide mechanism to choose between multimedia and phone options was so breathtaking I almost creamed my Jeep jockey shorts at the sight of the sales girl slipping the keypads back and forth in her nimble fingers - I chose the Palm Treo 750v...

Advantages: fast and stable
Disadvantages: lacks the wifi and the GPS, the battery is short

...After years of ups and downs the PALM has decided to introduce with this device a line of products based not on Palm OS but on Windows Mobile. In truth the system Palm OS is still a cornerstone of Palm who adopt them again for consumer products as the center. With the Palm Treo750v you can connect anywhere when you need it. Thanks to QWERTY keyboard built, the smartphone is very compact and comfortable, lies in a hand, fits comfortably to your ear and you can put in your pocket easily. The treo 750 incorporates the design treo 680, same size and weight and the same keyboard. The quality of assembly is excellent as Palm tradition. In this treo what you see now is the introduction of windows mobile 5 (upgradeable to version 6). The beautiful Palm has adapted this S.O. to its terminal, because the WinMobile5 there are more reactive... Read review
