Anyone upgraded from a 650 to a 750? - Treo Forums

I am debating on whether to upgrade from my 650 to a 750. I love my 650 but have had it for a couple of years now and am looking for something newer. I'm looking for pro's and con's from others who have made this move. The items that I use the most on my 650 is Push Email from everyone.net via Chatter and Ultrasoft Money. Are there comporable applications for the 750 that could replace these?

I just made that upgrade (?) a month ago--mixed feelings. I love the faster speed of the internet connection and the phone looks a little nicer. I hate using WM--Palm was just so simple, straightforward, even elegant by comparison. I'm having a lot of issues syncing with 2 different computer (work and home), plus it limits you to syncing with only 2 computers unless you use a network or buy 3rd party software. As you'd expect everything takes up a lot more memory too. I also find starting up applications to often be slow. The pushed email is nice. So is the ease of using other MS software apps.

Still adjusting after a month (much slower learning curve if you ask me) and would call it a mixed bag.

Thank you for all the insight. You mentioned the pushed email and that is one thing that I have on my 650 that I wasn't sure about on the 750. Are you pushing via an exchange server or another application?

i took the plune about 10 months ago from the 650 on cingularly att to the 750 same service. I must admit that I did this witha great amount of anxiety due to previous pronblems on installation of active sync in a casio e-200 and then HP Journada 567. Installation wnet fine w/o problems and as is more stable in 4.2 and 4.5 than 3.xx ever was. I recently upgraded to wm6 and have enjoyed it no real problems with either wm5 or 6 minor annoyances. It helps to keep programs closed the x in wm only minimizes the program to the background not closing it completely. They have software to accomplish the closing with the x if you want. I have'nt bothered. I was used to that in the previous pocket pc's. There are all sorts of push mail available these days manny for free I havent gotten around to that again used to the the non push in older pocket pc's.And I dont have an unlimited data plan when I get that I probebly migrate to a push email server or go with an exchagne server on web app (about 10.00 a month)

Thanks for the response as well. I'm currently using everyone.net for my push emaile with Chatter. I'm considering making the dive and then trying to use Flex Mail for pushing. I played around with a co-workers phone using WM5 just to see the difference. I think I will go ahead and join the club
