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.

One of the most notable feature of the Palm Treo 750 is built-in Windows Mobile technology, which basically puts the "smart" in Palm smartphones. And of all the functions that Windows Mobile technology provides, quite possible the best are its email and messaging functions. If you're looking to use your smartphone for email then a Palm Treo may be just the thing you need. SMS on the 750 is easier than ever, with a new built-in threading app, and although MSN is currently the only Instant Messaging service on the Treo, it works well enough.

Windows Mobile also integrates Microsoft Office into the Palm Treo 750, giving users access (albeit pared down) to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint documents and features. This latest incarnation of Microsoft Mobile also adds markedly improved calendar and agenda features to the Palm Treo 750. And the built-in Internet Explorer browser never ceases to be as powerful as it is familiar.

Unlike the Palm Treo 700, which was built for Verizon, the Palm Treo 750 is a Cingular phone (now AT&T). The Treo 750 has a reset button, which some its predecessors lack. Also unlike some previous models, the battery charger cannot be plugged directly into the sync cable, although both can still be plugged in and operating at the same time. The back of the Treo 750 features a speaker and a digital camera with a self-portrait mirror.

As with the 700 models, the IR port - the infrared beam that Palm owners use to transmit data wirelessly to one another - is on the side of the device rather than the top, where it's always felt more natural to use. But maybe that's being nitpicky. 

Welcome improvements with this latest in the long line of Palm Treo models include support for WMA and MP3 ringtones and video alerts, along with built-in Voice Commands for Windows Mobile (previously requiring a separate purchase and install).

A step backwards for Palm with the Treo 750 is conference calling, which is actually harder to access and use than it was on the Palm Treo 680, for example. What's truly disappointing about the Palm Treo 750, however, is its glaring lack of multimedia capabilities. Beyond A2DP support (who even uses that?), there's really nothing here in the way of media features.

Call quality over the 750 is excellent and battery life is adequate. Overall, the Palm Treo 750, in line with the Palm OS reputation, is more a PDA than a smartphone but maybe in so being is already more of what smartphone are primed to become in the future.
