Pros:
Large, cozy phone with a comfortable keypad and good-resolution screen. Speedy Palm OS still the same as we remember it. |
 |
Cons:
Palm OS still the same as we remember it. Lacks most advanced features we see on other smartphones. Pricier than the same phone on Sprint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| If you must have a Palm OS device with a large keyboard (no Centro, then), and you can't use Sprint, the Treo 755p on Verizon Wireless is your only option. Too bad, because this phone, and the OS behind it, haven't aged well, and most other smartphones have passed it by. The list of features it lacks is incredibly long, but we'll mention HTML e-mail, GPS, a real Web browser and good multimedia features as things we especially miss. The Palm OS is still simple and quick, very easy to use, but it's looking quite old, and once you start digging into the calendar and messaging apps, you're going to wish for something much prettier. |
