Treo 750v in the flesh

by Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 12th 2006 at 5:48PM

Windows Mobile had a fresh 750v kicking around in their booth, and we were more than happy to snap a few shots of it au naturale. We're told that Vodafone has an exclusive on the device at least through the holidays, meaning Cingular might not be getting the love until '07 despite the presence of triband UMTS. We also confirmed that the device is UMTS only, not HSDPA, but hey -- when it comes to triband 3G devices, beggars can't be choosers.

Update: TreoCentral's been told that the 750 will be software upgradable to HSDPA; also, Vodafone's exclusivity clause applies to Europe only, leaving the door open for 2006 releases in Asia, the US or elsewhere.

The Cingular Treo 750 will be coming out in December according to my source at Palm.

Still looks like a brick. Damn, why can't they make it smaller? Everyone else is doing it!

I'm really hoping we see this in the US soon as well... I've tried the T-Mobile MDA and just couldn't get used to the keyboard and the "slide" form-factor. I want something that has the solid feel of my Blackberry but WM5, I think this thing may be the answer!

I guarantee, this will be out through Cingular by the end of the month/first week of October.

The 680 which is the Palm OS will be out a few weeks later.

I had the device for a bit of time as well and posted an extensive review at http://www.pocketinfo.nl/artikel/6520

ALthough in Dutch, there's many pictures to be savoured.

Cheers,

Willem

Glad they finally dropped the antenna, why do any phone makers still include an external antenna?

It looks like a fatty compared to the rest of the mobile messenger phones that are coming out.

Hate that they replaced SD with miniSD. SDIO would give the device lots more expansion options. There are SDIO based GPS, SDIO WiFi, and Philips has demoed an SDIO DVB-H mobile TV card. Imagine you can use all these with the GSM based Treo 750.

I am considering a Palm Treo. Should I wait on this one or get a 650 or 700p? Who has the best network for this phone? Please advise!
