Palm Treo 750

Rohan Naravane, Nov 28, 2007 1627 hrs IST

Here's another smart one. But is it worth price it demands?

Good ergonomics, Tactile QWERTY keyboard, Multiple input options, Decent PDA functionality, Good battery life.

Slow processor cannot manage multi-tasking well, No Wi-Fi, Low-resolution camera, Minor flaws in the Windows Mobile OS, Slow data transfers, Expensive.

Design

The Treo series has been incrementally getting better from model to model. And it was a god-send when Palm finally removed that pokey external antenna Treo 680 onward. The Palm Treo 750 looks pretty professional and could be mistaken for a Blackberry.

Measuring at 154 grams in weight and having 22mm thickness, the Treo 750 is not small for sure; but it's not too inconveniently big as well while carrying it in a pant pocket. It gives a firm grip due to its rubberized body.

The device bears a square-shaped, 240x240 pixel LCD touch-screen capable of displaying 65k colors.



Below the screen are a set of navigation keys followed by the backlit QWERTY keyboard. The data/charging connector lies at the base along with a 2.5mm stereo headphone jack.



The left comprises of the volume keys and a user configurable shortcut button.

Friends, Having read the description of this new phone, I feel my Qool QDA 700 (Palm OS) is still better, though it too lags on bluetooth/Wi-Fi/other similar add-on and non-availbility of supporting accessories but I feel its worth its cost of Rs.9,800/-. Moreover why one should buy Treo750 for Rs.23 K; when other similar phones like O2, I-Mate etc. are readily available at much lesser price with more or same functionality. I had the opportunity to use Treo-650 (Palm OS based) few months back. The problem I observed was the keypad which for a frequent business traveller like me was too small to be used. Further smaller screen size stole the charm I had from my earlier possessions of O2 or I-Mate handsets. Thanks for reading. Vin6174

While the Touch and Q8 are good phones, they a touch screen AND a keyboard. Plus this one comes with a nice bluetooth keyboard which probably adds around 1.5 - 2k to the final price.
