 Great Phone March 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had the Treo 750 for about 5 months now. Excellent battery and features. Phone may freeze once in a while which seems to be caused by 3rd party programs e.g. live search but after the novelty of those programs wore off and I deleted them the phone works great. ATT service is great too. I switched from Verizon only because they wouldn't give me any discount on the phone. [...]
 Possibly the Worst Phone On The Market!!! March 27, 2008
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I have owned and used numerous phones, pocket pc's, and smart phones over the years and this is arguably the worst phone I have ever come in contact with. Let me be clear about this; it is not only the worst smart phone / pocket pc but the worst PHONE I have ever seen. For starters, you need to do a soft reset on this phone everyday just to have a chance of it working halfway correctly. If I went more than a day without resetting these are just a few of the malfunction I grew accustomed to:
1) Severe system crashes
2) Locking up
3) ringer and overall sound malfunction
4) Would not recognize the data card
5) Would not recognize information on the external card
6) Buttons would change their programming on their own
7) Constantly running sluggish from overused memory
8) Lockup when phone rings
9) Numerous other minor system malfunctions
With severe system crashes, the phone would take about 3 or 4 soft resets before it would work half way right. Even if you did a soft reset a day you could expect, simple lockups that would require a soft reset. and disrupt whatever you are doing. Various times throughout the day you can expect the phone not to recognize the external data card. That means that it would all of a sudden forget that you had a card and anything on it. Most of the time this was cured with a soft reset. Also you could expect at a minimum that every several days the buttons would change their programming on their own. For those of you that don't know about the button programming, yu can program various buttons to control various applications. For instance you can program the side button to control the voice commands. Well you may push the button one time and the media player will come on. Do a soft reset and it will go back to what you programmed it for. But, all of that aside what aggravated me the most and pushed me to discard this phone was the sound function. Very frequently the phone would lose its sound. All of a sudden the sound would just cease to work. This would include the tap sound, the inbox bell, and most importantly the ringer. The worst part about it is that the tro 750 silent function is handled by a switch so this was just unacceptable. When I first purchased the phone and it did this I assumed the switch had been accidentally turned to silent, but don't be fooled folks. This is probably the worst glich of all.
Let me put it in a way everyone can understand. I was under contract so I had to pay full price for a phone to replace the treo. When I was at the AT&T store I thought to myself that I could put the phone on ebay and at least offset the price of the new phone somewhat. Sure enough I got home and treo's were selling on ebay for $200.00 and I could have used the money, I just could not pass on such a sorry piece of technology to another person. So I gave the phone to my six year old child as a toy. It is not hooked up or anything, she just uses it as a fancy calculator.
In my opinion this is the worst piece of technology to come out in years. I would not buy these phones at a yard sell.
Treo 750 problmes w/ Windows February 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
WINDOWS Mobile 6 Professional running on ATT. GUI look/feel fine, ergonomics fine (read all the positive reviews), but phone has problems w/ autosync, email not updating, freezes. Battery life very poor. I'm an occasional user, mostly use phone commuting to/from work. I'm very unhappy with having to reboot the phone multiple times a day. Upgraded o/s from 5 to 6 with little or no improvement in freezes. I'll wear out the door to the reset button. Fortunately a company phone, so IT will get me a new one to try. Curious to see if a second phone will still encounter all of the o/s issues. Would like to try Palm o/s but that isn't a choice with IT.
 Bad, slow and weird February 14, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Pros:
1. Its a PDA Phone
2. Touch Screen
3. Windows OS (this should be under Cons actually)
Cons:
1. Horrible battery life, comes only for a day.
2. Very slow response, when try to answer pressing the answer button during incomming calls, it would take some times up to 2 more rings before it responds.
3. Voice clarity is below average.
4. tons of random applications will open up with out your concern durin call and tough to close all of them and get back to main screen.
5. Hangs atleast twice a week, need to remove battery to reset.
6. Speed dial stops working, you need to reset your phone again.
7. Calander features are very limited and not flexible as palm calendar.
8. tiny button's, tough to dial numbers (but can live with that)
9. WIndows mobile 5.0 (horrible)
....... Ok I will stop here, you got the point.
Does NOT WORK with Vista 64bit!!! February 13, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
PALM PRODUCTS DO NOT WORK WITH VISTA 64BIT. Before you buy this product be sure you do not have, NOR EVER WILL HAVE the Vista 64 bit operating system. A palm representative EXPLICITY told me that he had no knowledge of Palm working on a fix for this. More and more new computers are shipping with this operating system and consumers caught unaware when their NEW products won't work!!!
