Mobility Site's Palm Treo 750 Gallery
Chris Leckness at Mobility Site recently picked up a Palm Treo 750 and has provided plenty of product pr0n for your viewing pleasure. Head over there and see the device strut its stuff from all angles.

Perfect except for it's thickness. It's only 3mm thicker than the HP6900 series, which is pretty thin... But 3mm is a chunk when it's in your breast pocket motorcycle jacket. Yes, not many riders here I'm sure... I'll probably get it when the price is a little more reasonable.

Going from a 650 to a 700w and now with the 750 I can tell you that the 750 feels smaller, lighter and thinner in my hands. It would be great it if was as thin as a Q or the Blackjack, but it feels very nice in my hand.
Best Treo yet by far

Why it is still square screen and only 64MB of RAM ?
What was so difficult to add 80 pixels and double RAM ?
Crap.

Size. An extra 80 pixels usually adds another 1 to 1.5 cm to the overall form factor.

Unfortunately, there's an extra power requirement with additional RAM.

This is a very nice device. I've held one in my hand and the ergonomics and one-handed use more than make up for its square-screen design IMO. And remember, this device is meant to be more of a phone than a PDA so I don't see why people slam the device for its screen and RAM (although the original 32mb on the Treo 700w could be improved). The only thing that I felt needed a little refinement was the thumb-board. It always seemed a little too stiff to my fingers...maybe it's just me. Also, I like that flip cover the MiniSD slot has - something HTC and others should think about in its devices.

Axim users who upgraded RAM chip do not see any difference in power consumption

great photos! i wish i could take photos like that for my review :cry: anyway I'm currently using the Vodafone version of the 750v and I'm pretty impressed with it! can't wait for a ROM update to enable HSDPA [I might try the 'fix' if the ROM doesn't come out by end of January]

I did the hack on my 750 form Cingular and it works just great! Just remember to soft reset two times in a row, it really is needed to get HSDPA to work. Here is where I got the information from:

I read the HSDPA hack messes with DUN so I am holding off on it... I have all the files and instructions for it though :wink:
