multitaskerinKC says "Poor email service" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

multitaskerinKC — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:56:05 GMT

The Palm Treo 755P is a poor phone for email. It is fairly good for phone, text and internet service. The email service truncates anything over a few words. So literally you have to ask it to get your email, wait for that to download then waste time asking it download the entire email and then it confirms if you want to do that. So if you are in a hurry good luck. Another horrible feature is if you use cable service email (like Time Warner Cable Roadrunner) you can't send email from your phone that appears to be from your normal email account it has to come from a gmail account. The gmail account combination is not optimal.

LauraBurk says "My Palm 755p is irreplaceable!" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

As a busy Mom/Systems Coordinator/Small business owner/Domestic goddess, I could not live without my Palm Treo 755p!

The Palm combines the benefits of a full feature mobile phone with the functionality of a mobile office. Top to bottom, the phone contains an expansion slot for added memory for all of those documents, contacts and emails. Along with a famous silent mode switch and integrated housing for the stylus, the blinking light on the Sprint version lets you know when you have missed an important event (phone call, text message, alert, etc).

The touch screen supports 65,000 colors and allows quick access to your own custom menus. The large viewing area offers a clearer picture than other smartphones due to the 320 x 320 pixel display. Impressively, this smartphone's software supports most digital video formats including mpeg, avi, divx and mp4 (video Ipod).

The phone contains a 1.3 megapixel digital camera that takes photos with a max resolution of 1280 x 1024 and has...

gwalmer says "Palm makes the best smartphones...this is the best Palm." about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

I have had Palm phones before; but on my upgrade before this one, I went with a Windows Mobile phone. I was SO happy when my contract ran out and I could go back to a Palm phone. It is absolutely the easiet to use of any smartphone I've seen. I have this phone and my wife has a Palm Centro. Both of us love our phones and wouldn't trade them for anything else...When Verizon get's the Pre, I'll upgrade to it.

ladominicana says "Treo 755p more than just a phone, a part of everyday life." about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

I got this phone a while back but even when it first came out I knew it would not be one of those phones that I would be confused with. It was almost as if I already knew what to do just playing with the phone when I first received it. I like it alot and would get another one if this one ever had any problems.

luckysocks says "The software is decent, but the hardware doesn't hold up." about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

luckysocks — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:40:48 GMT

I bought the Palm Treo 755p in January of 2008. I still have it, for the sole reason that I am not eligible yet to get a new phone with my wireless plan. I am pretty busy, so it was important to me to have a really good calendar on my cell phone. The calendar and the internet are the primary reasons I decided to go with a smart phone.

Things I like:

1) The text messages get arranged in conversations just like an instant messaging chat log. This is a great feature!

2) The calendar is great - nice and detailed, and it can sync with Outlook. I also like how I can categorize my appointments and color code them (yeah, yeah, I'm a nerd).

3) It has google maps, so I can look stuff up on the go. This has come in handy many times.

4) The internet browser is pretty decent. It has a hard time with really big pages, but for mobile applications (e.g.: m.facebook.com and m.gmail.com) it's fine.

5) The battery can get me through a whole day.

Things I don't like:

1) I kept hanging...

cooperkins says "My Palm Treo755p is a lifesaver, a phone that organizes my life!" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

cooperkins — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 01:59:41 GMT

I love my Palm 755p. The Palm operating system is great, small files which don't freeze up. I work in a mobile environment and love that my phone has my outlook calendar, has alarms reminding me to do various tasks, even pay monthly bills. My email downloads easily and keeps me on top of my work. The phone syncs with outlook, moving all my contacts into my phone, and entering those from my phone into my computer, which is important when I enter numbers on the go yet still want them in my business contacts.

Google maps is ever so useful, I find myself using it for everything. I only wish it were easier to feed data from a web search into the Google Maps application because sometimes that's hard to copy, paste, and switch programs when on the go. My phone seems to default to Mapquest when I google a shop or destination, which is just harder to zoom and move the map around. The step by step directions are great.

I do wish there were one more level down of dimming on...

balance says "Palm Treo 755p - Piece of Junk" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

balance — Mon, 11 May 2009 00:53:45 GMT

I have had a Palm Treo 755p for almost two years now and I have to say it is the biggest waste of money I have ever spent. The internet browser function is a complete joke. It takes forever to google the smallest thing and you wait forever for it to load - that is even after the 3 minutes you waited to get google to load in the first place. The google maps feature offered on the phone also is just as useless. Sprint does have a naviagation program and I have no idea why it was not offered on this phone. I have used that program on another phone and it much more user friendly and you are ten times more likely to get where you are actually trying to go. The battery life is ok - not the best - but not the worst. The one thing I did like about this phone was that it had Sprint TV on it. Came in handy hear and there but again - not a reason to actually have this phone. The sound quality, picture quality, etc where all not worth it when you take into consideration the price...

meags says "My Treo has 'tude but I like it" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

meags — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:42:08 GMT

I actually got the Treo 775p as a hand-me-down from my mother in law who had a lot of problems with the phone and wanted something simpler. I'll be honest, I thought she was just technologically inept, but actually this phone seems to have a mind of its own.

First, the things I like about it. I love the qwerty keyboard, the touch screen (with stylus if I need it), and the Microsoft OS. It syncs up well to my Microsoft 2007 suite and I really like the call back log with pretty detailed information. I use the recently called people feature a LOT and it's helpful when I'm in a hurry. I haven't had many problems with caller sound quality and not too many dropped calls (that is, when I am full service - otherwise it's not the phone's fault). I like how the text messages are saved as conversations so I know what I last said to the person I'm texting.

Now for the flaws. When I accidentally let the battery die, the phone doesn't ring anymore. It will vibrate, but since I don't keep my phone in...

dynamitetaxlady says "Treo 755p, we're joned at the hip!" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

dynamitetaxlady — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 02:55:34 GMT

The treo 755p is a lifesaver. It's your very own little computer in your pocket. It's everything in one. Like most phones they don't have a full keyboard, but palms phones (besides blackberries) where the first to have the full key boards. Also it's the 1st phone to be touch screen. You don't need a ipod or an mp3 player because it has pocketunes. You don't need to buy ringtones because you can get a program called ringo and create your own ringtones from songs in pocketunes. You can create to do lists and task lists. It keeps a call log for over 6 months! Thats great.. It's great. Mobile Email for Palm allows me to get multiple emails from multiple email addresses at one time. I have always upgraded my phone and its always been a palm, I don't know any phone better. Theres only a few downsides to this phone, 1 is the battery life is not long when you have all that stuff going on also the mini card is hard to find.

expiredroses says "a must have for anyone on-the-go!" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

expiredroses — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:17:15 GMT

I bought this phone in May of '08 and am still in love with it. If you are on the go and need internet, maps, email, etc at your fingertips, this is the phone for you. It is a little larger compared to the new "i'm so thin if you drop me i'm going to break" phones. I have dropped this phone over and over with no problems at all.

I love the full keyboard and the touch screen. If you pull this phone out in front of people at the grocery store or in line; they are going to look at you wide-eyed and astonished. "Wow, they have money." Now isn't that something you want to show people?

Sailmate says "Love my Treo 755P" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

Sailmate — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:34:36 GMT

I love everything about this phone. The touch screen is great,yet you have the feel of a real keybaord for texting. I use the tv function from Sprint all the time, with Fox news and Comedy Central in my carpool arangement to and from work. What I like best about this phone, I never had to read or remember directions. Everything works just as you would expect it to work. I have never had a phone that I love so much. I use it more than any phone I have had in the past. I never have dropped calls, and all calls are clear and crisp both indoor and out. You can't beat this phone....

jimchap says "does a lot of things in a mediocre way" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

jimchap — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:05:03 GMT

I have nicknamed the Treo 755p the "iRude' because it invariably hangs up on callers when pulled from a pocket or handled in any way other than perfectly.
That said, it does a lot of things. Camcorder (very youtubey). Camera (doesn't compare to the iPhone). Games (who cares?) Texts well and is very good on the net for news and info, weather, stocks etc..

I've had 4 of them in a year as the software eventually eats the phone. I want an iPhone but I've heard bad things about the network. Sprint has pretty good coverage unless you travel out of the US.

Not a bad phone and it does a lot but it's clunky and less than reliable.

mdlaibson says "Crashes too frequently" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

mdlaibson — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:14:38 GMT

I have had to do two hard resets due to continuing crashes. And, it is not particularly easy to navigate. Though it is supposed to check for emails on a regular basis, it does not do so unless continually prompted. And I cannot open attachments. It is working fine now, in terms of phone and calendar - but everything else is iffy. I am unhappy with the purchase....
