The Palm One 750 is one of Palm's new antenna-less designs. The 680, which uses the Palm OS, is the other one. The Palm One 750 runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system and includes Palm's enhancements. The Palm One 750 is a GSM/GPRS/UMTS Smartphone which can be used nearly everywhere on the planet. Inside there's a 300MHz Samsung processor, a 240 by 240 color touch screen, 128MB of memory, a 1.3MP camera (with 2X zoom), mini-SD expansion port, Infrared and Bluetooth connectivity and a 1200mAh Lithium-ion battery. It measures 4.4 by 2.3 by 0.8 inches and weighs 5.4 ounces. If you're familiar with the Palm Treo design and Microsoft's Mobile operating system you will know how to operate this device instinctively. You will also find that this combination makes for a worthy contender.

In a week of testing, the Palm One 750 has been flawless. I really appreciate Cingular's UMTS broadband data network which allows the Treo to do its thing with speed, style and grace. Palm has also improved battery life. Earlier Palm/Windows Mobile devices had problems lasting through a full 24-hour day of email synching and phone ...
... calls. The Palm One 750 came provided me with at around 36 hours of battery life before needing a recharge. With the Palm Treo 750, users get the same vast functionality of the earlier Palm Treo models in a more compact package. The design of the Palm Treo 750 is thinner and lighter weight than earlier Treo models, with the long-awaited and much-appreciated absence of the bulky and unnecessary antenna. About time!

Beyond that, the Palm Treo 750 is much the same as its predecessors, with excellent call quality an external memory card slot (though this time for miniSD cards), and support for EDGE and Bluetooth wireless networks as well as UMTS. While the Treo 750 does support 3G networks, though, it does not have Wi-Fi, nor does it yet support HSDPA. For more details http://www.phoneandbeyond.com
