Palm Treo 750 Images  Editors' choice

By David Flynn on 16/02/2007

More Palm reviews , RRP: AU$1199.00

The good:

  • Enhanced Windows Mobile 5
  • Uses Next G for HSDPA 1.8Mbps wireless broadband access
  • Iconic voicemail interface
  • Chat-style SMS messaging

The bad:

  • Awkward keyboard
  • Lacklustre performance, especially streaming content

The bottomline:

Here's a dollop of irony: the best Windows Mobile smartphone has been created by Palm! A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make it the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.

      BlackBerry 8707g

      The BlackBerry 8707g is reasonably zippy and easy-to-use, but lacks many common smartphone features like Wi-Fi and microSD memory expansion.

    • Palm Centro

      Palm Centro

      Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.

      i-mate JAMA 201

      The JAMA 201 smartphone looks the part of a smartphone, but it's not good enough to be the real deal.

    • HTC Touch Pro

      HTC Touch Pro

      With the tech-savvy still drooling over the Touch Diamond, HTC has followed up with the announcement of the Touch Pro. The obvious difference is a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, though under the hood HTC has tweaked a few key specs.

    • BlackBerry Pearl 8110

      BlackBerry Pearl 8110

      The 8110 isn't so much an updated model as it's virtually identical to the previously released Pearl 8120, excluding the fact that the 8110 includes a GPS chipset, but is without Wi-Fi.
