The Bottom Line:
Is great phone for people on the go, who need the internet in the palm of there hand. A decent phone as well.
I have owned several smartphones, but the Treo 750 has been my favorite. It combines the best functionalities of Palm and Windows Mobile software. It has touch screen capabilities, which allow for easy cutting and pasting. The best thing about it is, with my Cingular PDA Personal Plan service, I get REAL internet!! Better than the iPhone. You can download anything from the internet to your phone and you can cut and paste from it. Another thing it has over the iPhone is that you make any .mp3,.wma or .midi a ringtone. You don't have to pay for a specially format ringtone to download to your phone. The text messaging program groups texts from the same number into a conversation, kind of like instant messengers. This is good, because it can get really annoying when filtering through your texts to review an old conversation.
The camera has great resolution, 240x240 pixels. The only bad thing about it, is that it does not display motion well. There are lots of great software options available for this phone, including Google Maps. There is no GPS option, so having the Google Maps software is the next best thing.
The phone comes with Internet Sharing software that allows you to tether with your laptop via bluetooth or cable. Faster than dial up, but not quite cable speed. Its a really simple process too. Just open the Internet Sharing program, and select connect. The configuration on the computer depends on your operating system, but I had Windows XP and Mac Leopard, and did it in a flash.
The battery life is not great, but its not too bad. It comes with a car charger as well, so at least you do not have to worry about getting one. I downloaded Windows Mobile 6.0, which crashes occasionally, but that aside, it is the best phone I have ever had.
