 0 stars August 14, 2008
S. Harwood (Bucks, UK)
Can you not rate 0 stars? This is the most unreliable bit of kit I have ever owned. I am on my second one and need a third now because it does not work. Problems are - it opens programs and facilities like the calculator when it feels like it. It fails to accept my password on occasion and the only solution is to take the battery out and restart (which takes minutes). It decides when I can or cannot answer the phone. The touch screen fails occasionally. And I am sorry, but a battery that will barely last 24 hours (even with screen brightness set to its lowest level to preserve battery) is useless for anyone who needs to use the e-mail and phone functionality this machine is supposed to provide. Several of my colleagues have the same machine and have the same frustrations.
Treo 750 - Windows Mobile a big mistake July 30, 2008

The 750 was my third Treo smartphone. The other two, a 270 and 600 simply got worn out! I'm about to sell the 750 on eBay and replace it with a Palm OS based phone, probably the Centro. A great pity the Palm 755P isn't available here in the UK. The problem is Windows Mobile. It tries to do too much and ends up doing nothing properly. If you don't close down applications the whole device just grinds to a halt. It once took 15 minutes just to allow me to key in my PIN! Another irritation is the system's inability to register when you have listened to your voice mail. Instead it persists in popping up a message saying "New voice message" when you're trying to do something else and this it will go on doing all day!.
I thought that I was being smart switching to the "industry standard" OS but Windows Mobile is just plain daft. The idea of making a mobile phone behave like a desktop computer is wrong. Who could possibly think that it is possible or actually worthwhile attempting it. The Palm approach is simple, elegant and robust. The software is more intuitive and the visual interface much easier to read. An example is the calender which shows appointments pretty much as you would see them in a paper format. Windows Mobile shows that you have an appointment but doesn't show the text unless you fiddle about with menu options, nor does it show the whole day and you have to use the slider to see hidden bits. That's because the OS wants a 19" screen but has to do with a postage stamp and you have to scroll about! Crazy, and I suppose typical of the Microsoft approach.
Palm OS here I come!
 THE BEST THING I HAVE DONE FOR AGES !!! SAD ! May 18, 2008
A. F. Fawcett (Oman)
Well I bought this phone in a hurry which is not usually a good thing to do but the old one HTC S620 broke and I needed an ew phone fast which was the same form. I bought the phone in the Middle East (Oman), it as advertised as Windows Mobile 5 with 300 mz processor, being in a hurry I did not look and was suprised once I got it going to find it was Mobile 6 with 400 mz.
Afet usig nearly every type of pocket PC or Smartphone from HTC and i-mate, this phone is definitely the best, easy to set up, no clubs to join to get operator settings, no ties to contracts.
Ease of use was the first thing I noticed, then just the easy messeging system.
Enough now, Thanks Palm Treo
 Great PDA/Phone April 27, 2008
L. Burgess (Bristol, Avon UK)
I have had this phone for almost a year now, and whilst browsing amazon for a set of headphones for it decided to write a review of it.
Perhaps my only real gripes with the phone are the slow CPU, battery life, quiet speaker and the amount of memory.
The processor struggles with some applications/games as its only a 300mhz CPU. I overcame this problem by getting an overclocking utility for it, but I find this drains the battery faster, and the battery does not last too long in the first place. This came be partly overcome by reducing the screen brightness and the time for the screen to switch itself off.
The amount of memory is poor too. If running several applications at once you can run out of memory. The way around this is simply not to run too many at once. Installing everything on your memory card helps, but of course they need to load into the main memory to run anyway.
Then theres the speaker, which in my opinion is far too quiet. If I have the phone in a pocket I often do not hear the phone ringing. I keep vibrating alert on so that I can feel it ringing, but this is not always ideal.
Apart from those minor gripes I find the phone to be otherwise excellent. I upgraded the OS to windows 6 professional (free upgrade) and have added many applications and games. For what I want it does everything I need.
It displays all web pages correctly (unlike most mobile phones) and has the threaded SMS function so you can keep track of your text conversations at a glance.
It works great as a media player, playing all types of video files (third party additional software) and is a great MP3 player too.
Perhaps it may seem quite large in size to some people, but it fits easily in any pocket and is not actually that heavy.
