In all this is well worth considering if you are in the market for a smart phone. It is not bulky and appears to have good battery life. It has excellent messaging and phone capability as well as access to such neat services as the Telstra "Where Is" service.
Palm has scored a massive goal with their new Treo 750 being chosen as one of the new 3G smart phones to be offered on Telstra's Next G network. Insiders say that Telstra boss Sol Trujillo played a key role in having the Windows based OS smart phone chosen. He apparently uses one.
An exclusive review of the new Treo 750 by SmartHouse reveals that the HSDPA phone is no slouch despite it being launched with the old Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system instead of the new 6.0 version of the software.
The inclusion of the Palm Treo 750 in the Telstra line up is a big boost for Palm who over the years has struggled to compete. This model could well make up for past problems while eating into Blackberry market share.
The Treo 750 combines E-Mail, messaging, web browsing and organisation software all in a compact design. Among the software on the Treo 750 smart phone will be Telstra's My place software that allows instant access to services like Foxtel, Yellow Pages, White Pages and Telstra Business. One real neat service is the Telstra mapping service that allows you to identify where you are and enter an address one is trying to get to.The device is also compatible with 3G UMTS/HSDPA networks.
