Great Phone - 3rd gen and improving by small but careful steps.

Aug 27, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: SMS Chat is the coolest experience, Touch Screen for dial pad is convenient.
Cons: No wi-fi, Too thick
Opinion:
I have been using Treo600&650(Palm OS), now Treo 750v(WM5)for 6 months, mainly for Phone calls, SMS, Sync Calendar + Email after end of working day + To do lists. It is about 3-4 key activities per day. So far the Treo has a good hand designing for above uses. Plus Exec Look and feel design.

Now Cons : lack of wi-fi means, fall back to GPRS for email checking + Internet, so-called always have connection (phone network), but far too expensive. Many place has wi-fi already, this is a must for next PDA Phone, even Blackberry have it now.

Improvement : Either upgrade the model with both Front and Rear GOOD cameria (min 3.0Mp), or simplest take them out, some place is not welcome Phone+Camera, set clear position.

Work on slim (keep the front size)- at least matching with Dopod C730 or Samsung i600. There are Smartphone users out there, waiting for slim Treo Phone.

Work on battery consumption - It is about 2 days use, I must charge it again, but the old model Treo 600 + 650 can work till 4 days on comparable use. Both switch off the screen when not use.
