User Reviews for Palm Treo 750 (GSM, Bluetooth, 1.3MP, 128MB, miniSD)

    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: Great, easy to use features. The user can view, edit and create MS Word documents and attachments.

    Weaknesses: Battery life could use some improvement, I just got in the habit of using my car charger when I drive.

    Overall Evaluation: Excellent value for the price.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: none

    Weaknesses: keeps dialing by itself, turns itself off, and can not uplock it

    Overall Evaluation: I get charged for calls that I never made because it dials itself when it is in the holster. It became unlocked and now I can not unlock it... the directions to unlock it does not unlock it. Then it turns itself completely off when it is the holster and does not go into standby mode.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Unlocked, WM6

    Weaknesses: Slightly big

    Overall Evaluation: This is a great phone to use if you text a lot. I bought this phone mainly to use overseas since I travel a lot and it has worked everywhere I have gone. The Windows OS is pretty smooth. The only bad thing about this phone is that it is a little bulky.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fast processor, big, bright screen. Many features.

    Weaknesses: Battery life. Weight.

    Overall Evaluation: I've owned this phone for a couple of weeks now, after having used the Treo 700WX for more than a year. There isn't much to improve on, and the only major upgrade I noticed is that the antenna is missing. Aside from that, it may be a little faster, but pretty much everything else remains the same. It has all the features I need, such as Microsoft Word/Excel/Powerpoint, as well as a PDF viewer and activesync to connect to my exchange server.The only downsides I can think of which I hoped would be attended to sooner, is the very bad battery life, and the weight of the phone. Lately I've been charging my phone every day, and that's with using less than an hour of talk-time a day. Overall a good phone for the money. Comparable features to the Iphone at a bargain price.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Small, Windows Mobile

    Weaknesses: Hangs frequently

    Overall Evaluation: My wife has been using this phone for quite a while, and she can't wait for her contract to expire so she can get a new phone. She uses it in her sales business, and counts on it being able to hold all of her Outlook contacts. While scrolling through her contacts, or switching from one screen to another, the display hangs for several seconds. Sometimes it hangs so long that the phone must be rebooted. Yesterday she went into the local ATT store to complain, and learned that the 750 is their most complained about phone, with other customers having the same problems.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: windows mobile, nice size, enough functionality for most folks

    Weaknesses: Typical battery life in normal circumstances is one day.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this 750 to replace a 650 that was stolen. I immediately noticed that I was having to charge the thing every night, and I do not use the phone that much! I love the programs that come with it, but Jeez, the battery should last longer than that!!
