Palm Treo 755p - midnight blue (Sprint)
price range: $199.99
Though it's not a major overhaul of the smart phone, the Palm Treo 755p offers a nice collection of enhancements and solid performance to make it an attractive upgrade.
The good: The Palm Treo 755p sports a more compact design than the 700p and is available in two attractive colors. The Palm smart phone has integrated Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel camera, EV-DO support, and adds an instant messaging app, Google Maps for Mobile, and direct push technology. It's a good performer too.
The bad: The 755p is a bit pricey and feels bulky and heavy compared to other full QWERTY devices. The device still lacks integrated Wi-Fi, and the camera's picture quality was subpar.
The bottom line: Though it's not a major overhaul of the smart phone, the Palm Treo 755p offers a nice collection of enhancements and solid performance to make it an attractive upgrade.
We finally can put all the rumors to rest as the Palm Treo 755p is real and has arrived on Sprint's doorstep looking all dapper in burgundy and midnight blue. Replacing the older Treo 700p, the 755p not only sports the two new, fresh colors, but it also features the slimmer design like its GSM cousin, the Treo 680, and brings a collection of small but notable enhancements. Google Maps for Mobile and Microsoft's Direct Push Technology now comes preloaded on the device's ROM, and it finally offers an instant-messaging app that supports all the three major IM clients.
The Treo 755p certainly isn't a major overhaul of the 700p. There's still no integrated Wi-Fi; it runs the same Palm OS 5.4.9; and the smart phone is looking just plain frumpy compared to today's sleek QWERTY devices. In other words, Palm is lagging in innovation. That said, the Treo 755p delivers on the performance and productivity front. We experienced excellent call quality, reliable e-mail delivery, and made good use of the PIM tools. Add to that the EV-DO support, ease of use, and new apps, and you get a solid device. The Palm Treo 755p will be available through Sprint for $279.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates and discounts--a tad pricey, in our opinion--starting May 14. For our review, we took a look at the burgundy Treo 755p.
Design
The Palm Treo 755p comes from the same mold as the Treo 680, but gets a new paint job for its Sprint debut. Whereas the GSM Treo 680 is available in graphite, copper, crimson, or arctic white, the 755p comes in a more understated burgundy or midnight blue that may be more suitable for business users hoping to add a bit of personalization to their smart phone. Though we didn't see the latter firsthand, we were quite fond of the burgundy color. It's beautiful and classy whereas the crimson model just screams, "Hey, look at me!"
The 755p does away with the external antenna and shaves off a bit of weight and depth to make it a sleeker device than the Treo 700p. Like the 680, the smart phone measures 4.4 inches by 2.3 inches by 0.8 inch, but is just a smidge heavier at 5.6 ounces (compared to 5.5 ounces). Though the 755p features a soft-touch finish and has a solid construction, it's definitely thicker and bulkier than other full QWERTY devices such as the Samsung BlackJack and the RIM BlackBerry Curve, so it will make for a tight fit in a pants pocket, and the weight difference is quite evident.
Of course, many users are willing to put up with the extra bulk for the benefit of a touch screen. Like previous Palm-based Treos, the 755p boasts a 2.5-inch TFT touch screen with a 65,000-color output and 320x320 pixel resolution. Not only are text and images bright and sharp, but the ability to enter data, launch apps, and navigate the device via the touch screen is a big advantage.
You can operate the Treo with the set of navigation buttons below the display. You get Talk and End keys, a four-way toggle with a central select button and shortcut keys to the phone app, calendar, messages, and home page. You can program the four shortcut buttons to open different apps in the Preferences menu. Furthermore, by pressing the option key with the same controls, you can launch another user-defined program; so in effect, you get a total of eight shortcut keys.
The Treo 755p's full QWERTY keyboard is a bit cramped, especially when compared to the Motorola Q or even the Cingular 8525. The buttons are smaller and the spacing between them is tight, so they may give users with larger thumbs more difficulty. However, we've noticed that with some time you do get acclimated to the layout and learn to type quickly and accurately.
On the left spine, there's a volume rocker and a user-programmable launch key (by default, it activates the voice recorder), while the right side holds the infrared port and miniSD expansion slot. The camera lens and self-portrait lens are located on the back of the device, along with the speaker and stylus holder. Finally, there's a silent ringer switch along the top edge, and the bottom of the Treo 755p has a 2.5mm headset jack and multiconnector port.
The Palm Treo 755p for Sprint comes packaged with an AC charger, a USB cable, a wired headset, a software CD with the Palm Desktop app, and reference material. Check our cell phone accessories page for more add-ons for your Treo.
Features
The Palm Treo 755p doesn't offer a complete feature overhaul, but you get a collection of small but noteworthy enhancements. To start, the 755p's VersaMail e-mail app now has built-in support for Microsoft's Direct Push Technology for real-time synchronization with Microsoft Exchange. Good Mobile Messaging also is available if your company uses this push e-mail solution. VersaMail supports a wide range of POP and IMAP e-mail accounts, including AOL, Apple.Mac, AT&T Global, EarthLink, Gmail, and Yahoo Plus. E-mail setup was really easy, as we simply input our username and password for our SBC Global account and within a couple of minutes, the Treo retrieved all our messages. Web-based e-mail accounts can be accessed via the Treo 755p's Blazer Web browser.
Another addition to the messaging department is a new instant-messaging app that brings the big three IM clients--AIM, Yahoo, and MSN/Windows--right to the device. It requires a quick download, which you can do just by tapping the IM icon on the Treo's main menu page and then following the directions. Once installed, simply sign in with your screen name and password, and instantly chat with all your buddies. You can sign into multiple clients and carry on simultaneous conversations. The Treo 755p continues to support text and multimedia messaging as well as the new threaded chat view, which in itself mimics the look and feel of IM conversations.
For working on the go, the Palm Treo 755p is preloaded with Documents to Go 8.0, so you can open, create, and edit Microsoft Word and Excel documents and view PowerPoint presentations and PDFs. Also, for the first time, the Treo comes preloaded with Google Maps for mobile. With this handy application, you can get text-based driving directions, search for local businesses, view traffic conditions, and more; for a full rundown of features, check out our review of the Google Maps for Mobile.
The Treo 755p runs Palm OS 5.4.9 and has 128MB of RAM with about 60MB of user available memory, which should be enough for the average user. In addition, the expansion slot accepts up to 4GB miniSD cards. You get the standard PIM tools, including a Calendar, a to-do list, a memo pad, a calculator, a world clock, and a voice recorder, and a new game (Bejeweled) preinstalled on the device. Of course, you'll also have access to the extensive library of third-party applications available to the Palm OS.
The Treo 755p's voice features are largely unchanged from the Treo 700p. The contact book is limited only by the available memory, and there's room in each entry for multiple numbers, e-mail addresses, instant-messaging handles, and birthdays. For caller ID purposes, you can assign a picture, one of 36 polyphonic ring tones, or a group ID. The 755p also has a speakerphone, a vibrate mode, three-way calling, speed dial, and the "Ignore with text" feature, which allows you to reply to a call with a text message if you can't pick up. A voice command feature is available only if you subscribe to Sprint's Voice Command service, called Mobile VoiceControl, and isn't an inherent function of the smart phone. You do get a free 30-day trial version of the app, but after the complimentary period is up, you'll have to pay $6 a month to continue the service.
As for wireless options, surprise, there's still no integrated Wi-Fi, but the Treo 755p works on Sprint's EV-DO networks, so we're a bit more forgiving of the omission. With the 3G support, you can experience broadband-like speeds on your device--around 300Kbps to 600Kbps--and enjoy faster Web browsing, data transfer, and streaming music and video. For the latter, you can tap into Sprint TV and watch programming from a variety of channels, including ABC News, the Cartoon Network, Fox, and the NFL Network, and you can listen to live streaming music and talk radio from Sirius, VH1 Mobile, and MTV Mobile. For more content, check out the carrier's On Demand feature, which pulls all the current headlines for the user's region (based on Zip code) from the Web and delivers it right to your Treo. Sprint offers these services as part of the Sprint Power Vision pack, which ranges in price from $15 to $25 per month. Alternatively, if you don't want to pay for multimedia content, you can stream music and video from the Internet using the Treo's Web browser. The 755p also comes with PocketTunes 3.1, so you can enjoy your favorite MP3s. However, if you want to listen to other music formats, such as WMA/PlaysForSure, you'll have to upgrade to the Deluxe edition ($34.95) of PocketTunes.
You also can take advantage of the EV-DO speeds and the smart phone's integrated Bluetooth 1.2 to use the Treo 755p as a wireless modem for your laptop via dial-up networking (DUN). You have the option of connecting via USB. The DUN capabilities will require that you sign up for the Sprint Power Vision Modem Plan, which runs $39.99 per month for 40MB or $49.99 per month for unlimited. Other supported Bluetooth profiles include wireless headsets, hands-free kits, object exchange, and PC synchronization. Unfortunately, the 755p does not support the A2DP profile for Bluetooth stereo headsets.
Last but not least, we're glad the Treo 755p didn't follow in the Treo 680's footsteps and upgraded to a 1.3-megapixel camera rather than a VGA camera. There's a 2x zoom and video-recording capabilities, but it lacks a flash and any options for tweaking the white balance, resolution, brightness, and so forth. As a result,
Performance
We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900; EV-DO) Palm Treo 755p in San Francisco using Sprint service, and call quality was excellent. We enjoyed crisp audio with very little to no background noise, and our callers reported the same. Activating the speakerphone didn't deteriorate the audio, though we did notice a slight hiss. However, there was plenty of volume, and our friends added that they were impressed such good sound was coming from a speakerphone. We also were able to pair the Treo with the Logitech Mobile Traveller Bluetooth headset without any problems.
Powered by a 312MHz Intel XScale processor, we enjoyed rather speedy performance from the 755p. While there was a brief lag when opening Office documents, we didn't experience any significant or frustrating delays. The EV-DO support brought zippy Web browsing and fast downloads. Unfortunately, multimedia performance wasn't as great. Music playback through the phone's speakers sounded weak and tinny. Plugging in the included earbuds, as uncomfortable as they are, improved the sound quality. Watching videos on the Treo 755p was a bit difficult. Though images and audio always synced up, the picture was often quite pixilated and blurry, so we couldn't handle watching video in more than few minute spurts.
The Treo 755p is rated for 4.2 hours of talk time and up to 10 days of standby time. In our battery tests, we got exactly 4.2 hours of continuous talk time on a single charge. According to FCC radiation tests, the 755p has a digital SAR rating of 1.07 watts per kilogram.

Still the best PDA phone on the market!
by pelikan3 on July 20, 2007
Pros: Faster, slimmer, lighter, more stable,
Cons: Extended battery door needed to use 650/700p batteries, could have higher res camera considering what's out there
Summary: Most professional reviews say something like this: "Nice repackaging, still a great PDA phone but the OS is dated and still no WiFi. Also, with other, thinner phones out there, ...
Summary: Most professional reviews say something like this: "Nice repackaging, still a great PDA phone but the OS is dated and still no WiFi. Also, with other, thinner phones out there, We wonder how much longer it can compete." New Treo users say great things and continuing Treo users largely complain about the lack of OS6 and WiFi.
I am a continuing Treo user, having had the 650 and the 700p and I take a totally different approach from most professional and user reviews.
First, comparing the Treo to other, thinner, PDA phones is like comparing apples to oranges. First the Q and the Blackjack have no touch screen, helping to allow them to be thinner. Second, they have much lower battery life and their processing speed is MUCH slower than the Treo. I know several people that dumped such products to switch to the Treo (or go back to it).
About OS6. When it finally comes out, users will find something remarkable. It will work just like OS 5.X. and every Palm OS before it. Palm, loooong ago, took the pocket computer and made it an appliance. It does what it does, and does it well without you having to think about it or wish it did something else (though you can't please everybody). Same as a washer or dryer or refrigerator. You don't have to think about the next best thing, because all true needs are met. Does it multi-task? Sure, right now even. But, only as well as such a device can ever truly multi-task. Since you can't open multiple windows, side by side, on a 2.5" screen, you will never truly multitask on such devices. Does it have WiFi? No. But, you don't need WiFi when you have EV-DO. And, hand held devices don't even come close to rivaling desktops for speed on even the best WiFi network. EV-DO is MUCH faster than any Palm or PPC on a network. Could it use a better camera? Sure, but, a good, 7.1 mp digital camera costs at least $200, so figuring out how to do it without increasing cost is the question. The only real criticism is price point. Most PDA phones sell for about $200 with a service plan or renewal. Even the new Blackberry Curve (no EV-DO but still pretty sweet) doesn't cost more than $300. Palm has to find a way to bring the Treo to the public at the near-give-way prices of the competition. What they lose up front they will save in volume sales and market share.
What CAN the TREO do? With an easy to use, proven user interface, it can make and receive crystal clear calls, surf the web at what used to be T1-T3 speeds, get email in an instant, listen to music, watch TV, write or edit native MS Office documents, view PDF files, check traffic, get directions plus whatever many thousands of 3rd party apps allow. Better, and faster than any other product on the market. It does all this and is more stable and reliable than it's predecessors. How much more is there?15 out of 15 users found this user opinion helpful.

a step backwards?

Summary: I just opened up my new Palm. I was misled by the review on this site which suggests that it can handle a 4GB memory card. After sitting on the phone with Sprint technical support, they confirmed that while the Treo 680 can handle 4GB (in the miniSDHC / miniSD 2.0 format), the Treo 755 can only handle 2GB (in the older miniSD format). This information is not available anywhere on the Sprint or Palm websites. I unearthed it on the SanDisk site. Even worse, there was no information on this in the technical manual that comes with the phone.
My other disappointment is that, in addition to the lack of Wi-Fi, the Bluetooth is outdated. They still have not installed A2DP, so you cannot use stereo Bluetooth headphones with the device.
Overall a disappointment given the steep price.8 out of 9 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: this is my fourth treo from the 600 to the 700p now the 755p.the upgrade to me was strictly a cosmetic one which in my opinon was worth it.the treo now feels like a true handheld with the rubberized back that the tmobile dash & samsung blackjack have,the loss of the external antenna is a welcome one,as i thought the 700p had good phone reception the 755p is perfectly clear have had the phone for five days now & have not dropped one call could be the phone or the network but I think its the phone because i cant seem to not go two days without dropping a call on sprint.Evdo works like a charm & google maps is a nice little feature if your into i m you know have msn messenger as well as aol& yahoo on board.All in all the 755p is a great phone/pda treo fans will love it, as it is still an easy os with a new&improved look.

PLEASE, DON?T BUY THIS PRODUCT!
by Alberto700 on August 26, 2007
Pros: Good looking. Just that.
Cons: Defective product. It has a concealed bug. The internet browser turns slow, plus, the Sprint TV does not works after 3 months. Palm and Sprint are not honoring the written waranty.
Summary: PLEASE, DON?T BUY THIS PRODUCT! It?s seems there is a conspiracy between Palm and Sprint to defraud the consumers stealing millions, concealing a manufacturing defect.
Here is my ...Summary: PLEASE, DON?T BUY THIS PRODUCT! It?s seems there is a conspiracy between Palm and Sprint to defraud the consumers stealing millions, concealing a manufacturing defect.
Here is my short story. On May, 2007 I bought one of these phones, after using a 650 during 3 years, without problems.
Surprisingly, 3 months later, on August, 2007, the internet browser of the phone turned very slow, plus, the Sprint TV service did not work anymore.
As consequence of that, after dealing during a week with customer service and the technical departments from both companies, I discovered that any of them want to honor the one year written warranty.
When I ask a replacement or repair service both companies try to bypass the other keeping me in a limbo.
Despite the fact that the product comes with a written warranty, when you ask the service calling Palm at 877-426-3777 or via its website, Palm indicates that ?they cannot handle repairs for Sprint branded Treo Smartphones?.
It?s seems Sprint is not helping the consumers in order to obligate them to pay a third party equipment insurance and/or buy a new phone. Actually my legal counselors are studying what will be the next chapter in this saga. GOOD LUCK!5 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

This PDA is amazing. Oh, and its a phone.
by jgifford138 on August 24, 2007
Pros: Smaller, more ergonomic, and faster than anything available.
Cons: It doesn't make eggs benedict.

Summary: This is by far the best PDA phone that I've found on the market thusfar. Granted, there is not much that is different between this model and the 700p, however, the simple changes that were made greatly improve its ease of use.
1. The weight. Significantly lighter than my 700p and 650.
2. The outer shell is made of some sort of rubber currogate (I assume) which makes for it feeling better in your hand and less chance of it slipping out of your hands.
3. The speed. I have many friends with iPhones and many with various models of Treos. None of which can even come close to touching the web browsing speed of this thing. I can stream video with no problem when I'm in an EVDO coverage area. You can't touch Sprint's network speed. Its top notch.
4. No antenna. I've been to Missippi once and I plan on never going back. As far as I know, that's the only place in the world where an antenna would come in useful.
5. Support. Palm offers 90 days of free support from THEIR technicians. Not only does Sprint offer service and repair, but any questions I had regarding my phone were quickly answered within minutes of calling Palm.
This thing is my new buddy. I have read many reviews where people complain about the lack of wi-fi and to be honest, it doesn't bother me a bit. Wi-fi uses up so much battery life that it would be counterproductive to place it in this model. Moreover, it would be heavier and bigger. Like I said before, Sprint's EVDO network is worth every penny I pay each month for access to it. If you're too cheap to pay for the data plan, you're too cheap to buy this phone. Go get an LG.3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Hands down the best smart phone on the market.
by tekjester on October 1, 2007
Pros: One handed operation. Fast. EV-DO. Sprints great network. Easy Navigation.
Cons: Price. More aesthetic quality.

Summary: Treo has been my favorite phone since I first got my hands on one 2 years ago. I tried the PPC-6700, and found Windows Mobile to be a nightmare. WM never closes apps, and the OS tries to do too much without enough power. Palm has a beautiful OS. The layout is simple, and easy to navigate with either the touch screen or the 5-way nav. Took me a little while to get used to the option, home, call, and end buttons being moved, but I have gotten the hang of it. First lets see what makes the Treos in general best to begin with.
Threaded Text Messages - my 650 has texts saved from 2 years ago. They come in looking like an AIM conversation, so everything is easy to keep track of.
One Handed operation. While the keyboard may be smaller, it fits in one hand, and it is contoured enough to be able to type with one hand for those of us who text while driving (bad idea for sure!!). The curve and Q are too thin and it is awkward to hold with one hand, the 8525 and the rest of the slider smart phones require two handed operation. The Treo gives you the option of both.
Navigation - Windows Mobile sucks. It never closes apps, and it looks like it should have a mouse. Blackberry is confusing to navigate, things like adding contacts takes too many steps. If I call or receive a call from a new number it automatically asks if I want to add it to my phone book. Simple as that.
NEVER DELETES ANYTHING - As simple as that may seem, I still have calls and texts from may 05 on my old treo, and if for any reason I want to look at them, they are there. It helps to settle alot of disputes ("I called you this day at time!").
On top of all these standard treo features, the 755 kicks it up a notch by adding more speed and power the phone (my 650 was getting bogged down). Push Email, EV-DO, A better camera (still not great quality though). Native IM Clients, drops the antenna and some weight, and a nice new color. I've used the iPhone, the 6700, the mogul, pearl, curve, blackjack, and Q. None of them come close to my 755.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Good Device but PALM OS and the software installed sucks
by novice2guru on July 7, 2007
Pros: Really good features for a PDA *** phone. Stylus makes browsing a very good experience. EVDO makes for good browsing speeds
Cons: Software and the Palm OS is really bad. Not enough features for the price.
Summary: As a PDA phone, the 755p has good features, but the software that the feature runs on is really bad, making the phone crash when you switch from one application ...
Summary: As a PDA phone, the 755p has good features, but the software that the feature runs on is really bad, making the phone crash when you switch from one application to another abruptly. Palm has to focus more on their software division like apple does and maybe they would get it right next time.
Also, the features that you have is not good for the price you have paid for the phone and the monthly charges you pay your carrier.
You cant browse a lot of web pages, especially the video sites like youtube, yahoo music or google videos. Only mobile pages can be browsed. For that matter, even though Palm says that you can read mails from internet email accounts like gmail, there a lot of emails(probably because of email format) which you cant read on your mobile. So, it really sucks.
As a PDA, palm could have introduced more features like the hand writing recognition functionality, which is still missing in a ll of Palms smartphone models.
Most importantly, the customer service. Sprint has one of the worst customer services. It takes anywhere between 1-2 hrs before you could speak to a rep. Palm is not too far in the race with sprint. They take close to half an hour before connecting you to a rep. So, if you are thinking of getting good support or service for your buy, just forget it. That's not going to happen.3 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.

LOTS of problems
by dr_gibberish on December 19, 2007

Summary: I have had palms since the very first one and this is now my third Treo, upgrading from the 650. I had a lot of problems with my 650 crashing but it was also clogged with thrid party apps. Started clean with the 755p and installled only a few things (zlauncher, a couple games, etc.) Crashed at least once an hour. Got a new phone when that one finally could not be rebooted and installed NOTHING on the phone. Still constant crashes when I start Google Maps, Versa Mail, a variety of other built in apps. Finally, yesterday it locked itself in an endless loop where it cannot be soft or hard reset. Just sits on the "Powered by Access" screen no matter what is done. Brought it in today and interestingly they agreed to replace without a word - as if they were well aware of these problems. In two days I guess I will have my third one (no choice to switch phones). Lets hope it works better - I'm stuck with it for 2 years....
