How is the Palm Treo 755p phone?

Question

i just recently had the treo 600 and if u dropped it would break something technical in the phone. I dropped mine like twenty times and I hated it because it had 20 problems. Now.....Obviously it didn't break easily, I dropped it too many times. Does the 755p break easily? I want a phone that has lots of cool features but is not too smart phone beacause on the 600 u couldn't buy ringers, games, or screensavers. Also, I wnat a phone that can take videos and has a good camera. Is the Palm Treo 755p phone right for me?

Answer 1

I've had this phone for a year, and I'm very happy with it.  It's still working as well as the day I bought it.  It's been durable enough to withstand everyday use.  I don't recall ever dropping it though, but it does get bumped around a little, since I do carry it with me just about everywhere I go.

The video quality is surprisingly good.  The camera isn't a substitute for a regular digital camera, but it takes good photos, especially for a phone.

I use the Blazer web browser regularly, and I like the On Demand program that's like a personal newspaper, with current news, weather, sports, and more.  I also bought a Slingbox so I could watch my home television on my phone.

Since you're already a Palm user, I'm sure you know that there are lots of Palm applications that you can download and put on the 755P.  Just a warning though, I believe this is the last Treo that will run under the Palm OS.  The last I heard, future models will use the Linux OS, so the 755P may not be able to keep up with applications and features that other phones may offer.

I'm glad that I have this phone.  It does everything that I need.  I thought about buying an iPhone, but I like the physical keyboard on the Treo, and as a long-time Sprint customer, the Treo 755P was a better choice for me.
