750 Disappointing - Treo Forums

billd · 07-30-2007, 09:14 AM

I recently purchased a new 750. Although I like the size weight & feel, I find the learning curve painful. The documentation available is totally inadequate. I think the 650 is a much friendlier and useful smartphone. Hopefully at&t will read "Everything Treo" and make some changes recommended by users. Does anyone know where I can find more comprehensive documentation for the Treo 750?

I know what you mean, mine is also very unreliable, needs a soft reset several times a week. Camera fails and I get a black screen, sound fails ,no audio.You would expect a bit more reliabilty given the price.

I can (kind of) see where you are coming from with this. The first day or so of using this phone was really frustrating. I had to figure out the quirks,like how to conserve battery life and getting the most from the phone. I have had several Palm devices, including the 650 and I really really really like the change to windows mobile. The PalmOS is super easy to use, but WM does not take that long to get used to. Everytime I cruise around the forums I find something new that my phone can do, or new tricks. The 750 is by far the best phone I have had... I recently switched from a BlackBerry and before that I had a 650. Maybe I am just lucky, though.

I don't know about games and tricks. I use my Treo mostly for real estate and contact applications . I upgraded from a 650 to a 750 and at this time cannot say it was a good move. I think you should wait for more input. Thanks for your inquiry.

For me, the 750 is an excellent ugrade from the 650. There are a ton more tricks it seems and I love the OS. Like I said earlier, I may just have a good phone, but I have absolutely zero complaints... best phone (or PDA) I have ever owned.

I can't hear the earphone sound with my 750 smartphone but it works with speaker phone and hands free. It was working alright earlier. Is there any set up change that could have happened accidentally.

I recently received some "Dual Instruction" on the many features of the 750. I'm getting to like it more and more as I use it. I guess I just got too accustomed to the 650. I'm finding the 750 a powerful tool.

MY first 2 weeks with the 750 was horrible...just keep researching and tweeking it and now have a lot of respect for it...U can everything with it ...so there is gonna be some problems with the phone side of it !!
