Biggie-sized pic of the Treo 750

This is the first shot we've ever seen of a Treo without an external antenna. And when we say "first," we mean seventh this month.

how can you say that...its not the same ole treo..although it maybe the same size, the form has changed slightly for a better grip, no antenna...a rubberized soft feel (like the prophet or the black tie apparently)..etc etc

Alas, it is the same ol' Treo...just incremental improvements...nothing in the way of a radical new redesign.

Now the BB Pearl...that's a major design move forward! I really don't see how anyone can compare the Treo with the upcoming Pearl and not decide on the Pearl. It will be a far better size factor, and have the reliability of the BB OS behind it.

If I were Palm, I'd be worried...very worried...about the Pearl.

The Treo only needs evolutionary improvements, with the notable exception of a much-needed switch to a more recent, more stable PalmOS. My 650 is damn near perfect as it is.

I don't like it.. I doesn't say much about it so. I can't say im not getting. but from what i seen so far, ill stick with my old treo 650. I like the antena, it looks nicer. and i heard that there is no camera. here is the question does it have HSPA?.. Y can't they make the same way they made for sprint and verizon. I like the palm with palm operation system, cause i can use with my mac.

Well, biggest difference is the full QWERTY keyboard on the Treo vs. the weird two-letters-per-key one on the Pearl. I had a Blackberry with that keyboard (7100 maybe? Can't remember the number) and it was hard as hell to get used to. Got rid of it quick, and would never try it again. Guess some might get used to it, but I hated it.

The 750w is out of the question. All windows mobile phones suck. Maybe i would consider the 750p. I had a 650 on cingular for about a year and a half and the best thing on it was Goodlink. I recently switched to a 7130c and am extremely happy. Overall the BB is an easier phone to use. given the Treos are like laptops in that they do everything, its a brick. I hated carrying it. Bottom line is I cant wait for the Pearl.
