 Worst Treo ever! July 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Don't buy this phone. It's a nightmare. I had the 650 then the 680 and now i have the 750
It's incredible how each one was worst than the other, but the 750 is so bad I don't get mad anymore I just laugh! It has the worst operating system (windows mobile) Palm was 1000% better. The battery is just plain stupid, I had to buy a 2400mAh just to get thru the day! If you install goodlink then your phone will run at half the speed! If you want to check your email you will have to press option plus send button! I mean, I'm driving and I need both hands to check my emails!????? Speed dial on the today screen will accidentally dial your contacts....all the time! If you want to dial a number, don't think of just dialing it! If you want to dial a number, don't think of just dialing it because that will get you nowhere, you first have press the send button, then move the cursor up until you reach the dial pad menu, then press enter and then you can dial the number, but you have to do it every time!!!!! Ahhhhhh! If you open the explorer to check out some stocks, be careful if the screen goes to stand by you will have to do the whole process again because the treo 750 will bring you back to the today screen every time your mobile phone powers down. I could go on and on and on but I really don't have time. If you want a good mobile phone get a blackberry or the iphone.
If you need a Treo get the 650! I almost forgot, all of the treo phones have very bad speaker volume, it is so low that you can buy a software that will let you pump up the volume for only $25.00 dls.
I am going to get an iphone and ship this one to a friend in Afghanistan
Do Not Buy This Phone!!! July 9, 2008

I've owned a Palm 750 for less than two months and it's becoming one of my worst purchases I've made in years. I'm soft resetting the phone in excess of 10 times a day - and thats only so I can use the phone for basic in/outbound calls. Every other function (email, text, whatever) has basically become useless.
For some reason I cannot explain the phone is freezing up constantly. No, the problem is not with third party applications (I'm not running any) or with me having alot of large files stored on the phone (which is ALWAYS the answer that you will hear from tech support or with other defenders of the faith), the problem seems to be somewhere in the Palm software or the OS. The phone has just decided to start locking up constantly and from what I can see is there's absolutely no explanation for it. Even making phone calls can be difficult - especially inbound calls - because when you hit the 'answer' button the phone will lock up (yet, it will keep ringing, and ringing, and ringing... almost as if to taunt you that you're not worthy of answering the call).
At this point my phone has become a drag on my productivity and my business. I would rather be using my old motorola fliptop from 1988.
Do yourself a favor and dont buy this phone.
possibly the worst phone of the decade June 24, 2008

I've had about 8 different Palm Treo phones running the Palm OS over the years, and finally I "upgraded" to the Treo 750 running Windows Mobile 6. I also use the Goodlink software on it for corporate email/calendar/contacts.
What a piece of junk this phone is. I hope it breaks soon so my company will give me something better.
Microsoft really blew it with WM6. They basically added nothing new in terms of features, and the performance is so lousy the machine is almost useless.
It crashes and hangs up all the time. This is even after a fresh hard reset.
It doesnt keep up with calling activity. When a call comes in, by the time it paints the screen with the caller info, the phone has been ringing 2 or 3 times. Then when you hit the answer button, the lag is so bad, you may not realize you are connected, since there is no visual cue to tell you the phone knows you pressed 'answer'. So if you press it again, the call goes to hold. Unbelievable.
When you call someone that is not in your contact list, the screen shows "Unknown Caller". Very stupid, since it's not a caller, it is someong I am calling. But it looks like someone is calling you since it says "Caller".
In emails, it can't keep up with my typing, and when it catches up, it drops random keystrokes so I have to back up and correct it.
The bluetooth barely works with Acura Handsfreelink in the car-- it starts working, but then if you get out of the car and walk away, the phone thinks it is still connected to the handsfree, so when calls come in, you miss them, and when you place calls, people can't hear you. You have to turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on.
Turning on/off bluetooth, which is a keystroke or two on most phones, takes several navigation steps to perform on this phone.
Unbelievably, Microsoft hasnt added any new games in several years of Windows Mobile development.
The product manager at Microsoft who is responsible for Windows Mobile should be replaced immediately.
I can't wait until I can get rid of this piece of junk.
If you want an ugly brick that can run some fairly mundane applications, and also perform as a lousy phone, then this is the device for you!
Your mileage may vary...
 Good Enough June 19, 2008

The Treo 750 is a great phone. I have been using this for over a year and will give you a brief pros/cons.
PROS:
-Good sized QWERTY keyboard(I rarely make spelling errors because of my big thumbs)
-Ability to use most pocketpc compatible software.
-Good reception in the Bay Area with AT&T
-The volume is good and clarity of the phone is great
-Windows Mobile 6 offered by AT&T (good move!)
-Great PDA phone... replaced my old standalone Axim x30 from DELL with this.
CONS:
-Software glitches that needs soft resets
-Even with touchscreen disabled... I manage to open up 3 applications with my cheek
-Heavier than most phones
-Lacks GPS/WiFi
Conclusion:
Great phone but there are others out there that are just as good if not better... HTC has some nice ones if your interested in the Windows Mobile OS. So far I have had no regrets!
 When I saw this, I had to rate it... on my 5th one! June 19, 2008

I am forced to use this piece of junk through my company. No way would you want to spend your own money on this thing. I am on my 5th one. They just don't work well, are slow, and crash all the time. Poorly designed.
