Palm 755p Burgandy Smartphone Review

Palm Treo 755p with the slimmer, antenna-less 680/750 form-factor, the Palm Treo 755p from Sprint handles everything you want from a smartphone–direct push email (via Microsoft Direct Push Technology), powerful PIM organization, multimedia playback, and still photo and video capture. Palm Treo 755p operates on Sprint’s North American CDMA voice network, as well as on Sprint’s Mobile Broadband Network (EV-DO), which enables you to quickly access audio, video and data applications. The Palm Treo 755p also features Google Maps for mobile, MiniSD memory card expansion, 1.3-megapixel camera, and Bluetooth connectivity for communication headsets.

For email, the Palm Treo 755p now offers VersaMail 3.5.4 with built-in Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support for Microsoft Direct Push Technology, which delivers automatic updates to Outlook email. Businesses connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server get fast, automatic wireless updates of email, calendar and contact information with added IT security and remote manageability. Also new to the Palm Treo 755p is the Google Maps service for mobile, built into the Treo’s ROM. You’ll be able to get directions, perform local searches, and view moveable/scalable maps, satellite imagery, and traffic updates while on the go.

Palm Treo 755p Design
At 5.64 ounces (160 grams), the Palm Treo 755p sheds nearly 12 percent of the Palm Treo 755p’s weight (6.4 ounces), and it feels less bulkier in your pocket without the antenna stub. Under the hood, the Treo 680 features Palm OS 5.4.9, 64MB of non-volatile flash memory available for user storage, and an Intel PXA270 312 MHz processor. Palm Treo 755p also features a 320 x 320-pixel color touchscreen, full QWERTY backlit keypad, and application buttons (which are customizable). The expansion card slot is compatible with MiniSD cards, and supports up to 2 GB of memory (memory cards sold separately).

Palm Treo 755p Calling and PDA Features
All of the Treo 755p’s phone and PDA functions are designed to provide an integrated, seamless experience. For instance, you can type in the name or initials of a contact on the keypad to dial them. Or, use the touch-screen and stylus to copy information from an email and quickly paste it into another email or text message. You can view messages waiting in a preemptive alert window, and the favorites view is now in one vertical easy-to-see list. A large onscreen dial pad can be accessed on the color touch screen, and you don’t need to go to another application to access the contact list–calling and contacts are all completely integrated.

The Palm Treo 755p is also a fully functional Palm OS device. That means that a huge library of applications, from spreadsheets to word processors to games, can be added to the Palm Treo 755p. Download, view, and edit Word and Excel compatible files, rehearse a PowerPoint presentation, even review PDF files, directly on the Palm Treo 755p’s touchscreen. It’s easy to perform multiple tasks like checking your calendar while talking on the phone or dialing calls directly from your contacts list. Familiar Palm OS software ships with the handset including calendar, calculator, clock, contacts, memo, and task management applications. Meanwhile, the unit’s memory expansion slot allows you to transfer music, photos, and video from your desktop. Or, use it to load additional games and applications.

Palm Treo 755p’s Fun and Games
The integrated VGA digital camera included with the Palm Treo 755p sports a 2x digital zoom, features automatic light balancing, can be used to capture video with 352 x 288 pixel resolution, and is outfitted with a handy self-portrait mirror function. If you want to take your tunes with you, the Palm Treo 755p comes with the PocketTunes application, allowing you to load up all your favorite music on MiniSD memory cards, and enjoy MP3 music on the go. Plus, with the ever-expanding library of Palm OS compatible games and other entertainment applications, you’ll never be at a loss for something fun to do during break time.
