Just thought I'd add my 2 cents on why I like my treo 750.
1)productivity - imagine all my reminders, tasks and contacts on one mobile device that you ALWAYS have w u...how likely r u to miss that appt. now when u r being constantly reminded of it. Voice command software also voice enables the reminders...very cool.
2)Portable documents. Mobile office, word, excel, powerpoint etc..... your essential documents are always handy and never far away, this includes pdfs (imagine the potential to regain lost time while waiting in someones office or in (grdlock) traffic.The opportunity to provide much faster response to people whether u r on the road or in office. (As a salesperson imagine having your pricelists or critical product info w u always.) You don't always have to lug around your laptop (although I would never say it is a total replacement for the laptop)
3)Nice form factor with plenty of accessories
4)Take your favorite music and podcasts w u anywhere. Go jogging, cycling etc. with one device instead of 2. (phone + mp3 player. there are ruggedized cases available) Media player stops playing when yr phone rings and resumes after the call - automatically.
5)natual handwriting recognition with Microsoft transcriber or other 3 party app. U have to experience this to really appreciate it. A great productivity booster.
6)many many 3rd party apps writen for it. quite a lot is free eg. engl-spanish dictionary & phrase book, tcp utils, games etc. U will need a mini-sd card (i recommend the largest size avail either a 4gb or a 2gb.)
7)Very well supported (unofficially) in a variety of forums see my attached document: treo 750 online resources.
Built in 1.3 MP camera. I cannot tell u how much u would use this once u have it to record everything. Many possibilities
9)speaking of recorder. U can also use this as a digital sound recorder, use it in lectures, mtgs etc. I personally use Audacity Personal recorder (
www.audacityaudio.com). Very nice and easy to use.
10)Quad band operation (unlocked). This phone has quad band capability - 850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS (a higher std. than GPRS edge) but it does work w gprs. I have it working on the phone.
