  Operating System is a piece of garbage!!, 2009-01-06
As everything Microsoft does, the operating system of this telephone really sucks!!! I previously owned a treo 680 (palm) and was happy with the processing speed, functions and OS overall performance. When I purchased this model I thought I was upgrading, but I was really downgrading. Phone is reaaaaaaaaally slow in comparison to 680. Please do yourself a favor and don't buy this telephone if you have a palm treo.

  Worst phone ever, 2008-12-27
I needed a phone I can run SSH on and I found a palm application that worked so I have been bound to the palm series of phones. I've used this phone on both Sprint and Verizon and I cannot stress enough how underpowered and unimpressive this phone is. There are times when you will hit the keypad and it takes several seconds for the phone to register what you pressed. You will hear the phone ring, press the button to answer, no response, press it again, and several seconds later the phone will answer and then hang up. If you have call waiting, this phone will double your phone charges as it provides no way to hang up on one party and continue with another. I do not have enough time in the day to outline in detail how profoundly unhappy I am with this phone. I regretfully have to admit that Palm is dead. After trying a half-dozen of their phones, I have totally lost faith that they are capable or producing a phone that can even provide reliable basic service, much less be a "smart" phone. Don't waste your money. Let there be at least some redeeming value to my suffering in using this crappy, badly-made product so that I might save one person from having to endure what I've endured. Seriously. It really is that bad.

  Horrible Phone, 2008-10-28
The Palm Treo 750 is the worst phone I have ever owned...I had the Treo 680 which I loved and assumed the 750 would be a step up...not so.
1. You cannot personalize the desktop with icons, or I haven't figured it out yet.
2. I haven't been able to figure out how to get the call log on the desktop menu.
3. There seems to be buttons with no real purpose unless you program them.
4. It doesn't sync with the old operating system, so all the information, call logs, etc are lost.
5. I see no advantage over the Palm OS...windows for mobile doesn't load any faster, pick up email any faster.
6. The OS is larger, leaving less space on the HD and is prone to freezing.
I would not recommend this device to anyone who likes the Palm OS...this system, device is awkward to use, not user friendly, is hard to dial..

  Perfect For the Business World!, 2008-10-17
This is the best phone that I've ever owned hands down. I originally had a Moto Q and returned it after 5 days for the palm. The palm allows me to gain access to 4 email accounts as well as my microsoft Outlook account with frequent email updated daily. It has amazing storage capabilities as well, and can hold tons of media files.

I also keep my weekly calendar on this phone and have it synced with the calendar I use for my outlook account.

This phone is perfect for any business professional. It's a real keeper.

  Nice...But not for me., 2008-09-24
I got this thinking it had WiFi, well it doesn't. I read the specs on it and it mentioned that it is great to surf the net...just only through the phone service. It is a nice phone for the ones that are looking for a pocket PC type. I am more the Palm OS, plus I find that it is easier with most of my collegues to exchange some of the programs that we have since most of us have palm OS stuff. Which it isnt compatible with this phone. It is hard to believe that even though it is made by Palm, they didnt make it so that you could transfer from a regular Palm OS to the PC operating system. I had the treo 650 and went to this one, the 750. Well good thing I kept the old one. I am back to using that one.
