 DOA plus terrible install May 9, 2007
15 out of 24 found this review helpful
Great price! But I returned it for a full refund.
1. The phone didn't work. Wasn't set up properly. Amazon said that they could fix it -- in 3 to 5 business days.
2. I have been using Palm & Treo products for a long, long time. I really like the "Palm Desktop". The Treo 750 is a Windows Mobile Device that syncs to Outlook. I thought that it might be time to bite the bullet and convert. The CD came with Outlook 2000 which really sucks. Prices for Outlook 2003 (which, IMHO, is workable) added another $99. Cutting to the chase: I couldn't convert my existing Palm Desktop data; the process trashed my existing Palm installation; and it took over 4 hours to get things back to where they were before the Treo 750 arrived.
 Great phone April 29, 2007

I bought this phone for my wife. She hated the bulky PDA or phone like mine. However, with this one, she loves it. the functionalities are great, the responses from the phone are quick. The email and internet are working fine without funky delay. Best of all, very steady, the phone has not needed for any reboot or reset since it is up and running (about a month now and knock on the wood). The overall experience from my wife is just fabulous. I set the the time interval for 45 minutes for emails retrieval. The battery is still 89% full by the end of the day. I think I will get this phone as well when my contract is up.
 A middle aged woman's adventures with the Palm Treo 750 April 23, 2007

Bought this to replace my three-year-old cell phone and an ancient but still working Palm IIIc. My observations after 30 days of ownership:
1. Setup is time consuming but unavoidable. Patience is required. I've had a couple of questions that I asked Cingular, only to be forwarded to Palm, only to be forwarded to Microsoft, then back to Cingular. It seems no Customer Service department has really mastered this unit.
2. Have to do a soft reset every once in a while. The unit turns off the sound by itself and the only way I've found to fix it is to do a soft reset.
3. I'm not crazy about Microsoft Outlook's calendar compared to Palm's. I miss several Palm features, like the "Go to" and the "Today" buttons. Outlook's calendar just isn't as easy to manuever as Palm's.
4. Phone listening volume is low, especially when the unit is in a protective case, which puts it a little further from your ear.
5. Love the Bluetooth option. It's new to me and it's just great.
6. Love being able to press a picture to make a call. We have five kids; I have each kid's picture linked to their phone number. Even my technology-challenged husband can call them by simply pressing their picture.
7. This phone talks! A female voice announces who is calling and when your next appointment is. The first time she spoke it about scared me to death. The voice reminds me of the computer on Star Trek--but not as clear. However, after getting used to her accent, she is intelligible, which means the computer is translating my written input into spoken words--amazing!
8. The Internet connection has limited use for me. I don't need email on the run and I could live without this and the extra monthly cost. Most traditional Internet web sites take much too long to load and display too small a portion of the page to be useful. It is nice to check the weather or get directions on the go.
9. Can't imagine watching a movie or any complex video on this tiny screen. What's the point?
10. Splurged on a sweet little Vaja leather case that is wonderful. Very expensive, but a terrific luxury.
11. Amazon's prices were the best BY FAR on this product! Saved over $300 off my local retail Cingular dealer.
12. Best part: I no longer have to carry a PDA and a cell phone! They are one and the same!
13. Conclusion: this phone is very smart and fun to use, although it comes with a big learning curve. The low volume issue could be a problem for someone with bad hearing.
Watch out! Amazon won't ship the Treo for about a month! April 13, 2007

Recently decided to purchase the Treo 750, but after ordering Amazon sends shipping info and it won't arrive for about a month and a half! I cancelled and went to Cingular and purchased for a lesser price and had it in my hands immediately. Sad....
CAUTION - New Account does not mean new contract April 11, 2007
12 out of 22 found this review helpful
I have a 650 with a cell number that has been with me for over 10 years. Perhaps blinded by this incredibly good price, I thought my fulfilled contract (I am on month to month now) meant I could qualify for a "new account" and keep my number. No such luck. After wasting a few hours dealing with Cingular and then someone in India on behalf of Wirefly, I had to return it. It is ironic that someone who has never had a cell phone can get a price 75% lower than a loyal 13 year customer! I will take the next carrier that offers a reasonable price on a 700 even though I would prefer the 750.
