Pros:
Excellent call quality. Slick update to the Treo look. Easy-to-use Palm interface. Quick networking speeds. Best-in-class messaging options and handling. |
 |
Cons:
Still have to pay extra for features that should be included, like voice commands and WMA playback. Palm interface showing its age. No GPS. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| I wouldn’t recommend Palm Treo 700p owners drop their devices and run out to buy this phone, unless you have that kind of budget, but I would highly recommend this phone to anyone who has considered buying a Palm OS phone. An underrated OS that remains simple and straightforwared, Palm didn't have to improve much to stay ahead of Windows Mobile, as WM6 is still playing catch-up to many features the Palm has had for months. Still, heavy competition looms, and we wonder if the lack of media features and GPS will keep this phone from being a contender. With fast networking and superior messaging, Palm has a lot to offer. Since we already own a Treo, though, we're more interested to see what they come up with next. |
