Palm Treo 750 Specifications  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.
