Palm 755p Burgandy Smartphone (Sprint)

 

Palm 755p Burgandy

Smartphone (Sprint)

 

Combining the software and features of the Treo 700p with the slimmer, antenna-less 680/750 form-factor, the Palm 755p from Sprint handles everything you want from a smartphone--direct push email (via Microsoft Direct Push Technology), powerful PIM organization, multimedia playback, and still photo and video capture. It operates on Sprint's North American CDMA voice network, as well as on Sprint's Mobile Broadband Network (EV-DO), which enables you to quickly access audio, video and data applications.

 

The Maps for mobile, MiniSD memory card expansion, 1.3-megapixel camera, and Bluetooth connectivity for communication headsets.

Swelling the Blackberry Curve's already formidable arsenal of telephonic and connectivity tools, the red Blackberry 8310 Curve now adds an internal GPS receiver with support for TeleNav GPS Navigator software and push-to-talk (PTT) capability--an AT&T exclusive. An amalgam of the svelte BlackBerry Pearl and the more business-oriented 8800, the 8310 Curve is the smallest, lightest BlackBerry phone that includes a full QWERTY keyboard. And it combines RIM's long-valued push email and messaging platform with a host of advanced multimedia features, including a 2-megapixel camera and stereo Bluetooth (for listening to music via wireless headphones). This quadband phone operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks and can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's EDGE network, with availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. It also offers global voice roaming in over 190 and data roaming in over 130 countries.

 

For email, the Treo 755p now offers VersaMail 3.5.4 with built-in Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support for Microsoft Direct Push Technology, which delivers automatic updates to Outlook email. Businesses connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server get fast, automatic wireless updates of email, calendar and contact information with added IT security and remote manageability. Also new to the Treo 755p is the Google Maps service for mobile, built into the Treo's ROM. You'll be able to get directions, perform local searches, and view moveable/scalable maps, satellite imagery, and traffic updates while on the go.

If your laptop is Bluetooth enabled, you can connect the Treo 755p wirelessly and enjoy dial-up networking (DUN)--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server--using Sprint's Mobile Broadband Network, which is available in more than 11,000 cities and 1,000 airports. With the power of EV-DO, you can also stream audio or video--such as from Sprint TV--or download ringtones, pictures, and video clips to your Treo smartphone or a MiniSD expansion card (sold separately). Where coverage is available, EV-DO connectivity provides average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps, with peak rates up to 2 Mbps.

Design
At 5.64 ounces (160 grams), the 755p sheds nearly 12 percent of the 700p's weight (6.4 ounces), and it feels less bulkier in your pocket without the antenna stub. Under the hood, the Treo 680 features Palm OS 5.4.9, 64MB of non-volatile flash memory available for user storage, and an Intel PXA270 312 MHz processor. It also features a 320 x 320-pixel color touchscreen, full QWERTY backlit keypad, and application buttons (which are customizable). The expansion card slot is compatible with MiniSD cards, and supports up to 2 GB of memory (memory cards sold separately).

Other design features include an infrared port for line of sight data transfers, as well as a handy switch for turning off the phone's ringer. A five-way navigator controls most of the phone's menus and operating system functions, while quick application buttons on either side of the navigator get you to your favorite applications in a snap. The left side of the unit features a volume up/down toggle plus a handy user-customizable button that can be assigned to any phone or PDA function. The rear of the Treo 755p houses a loudspeaker, as well as the VGA camera unit. A touch-screen stylus can be tucked away on the right side of the phone. Meanwhile, a combined charging, data, and accessory attachment port is housed on the bottom of the unit, as is a standard 2.5 mm stereo headset jack.

Calling and PDA Features
All of the Treo 755p's phone and PDA functions are designed to provide an integrated, seamless experience. For instance, you can type in the name or initials of a contact on the keypad to dial them. Or, use the touch-screen and stylus to copy information from an email and quickly paste it into another email or text message. You can view messages waiting in a preemptive alert window, and the favorites view is now in one vertical easy-to-see list. A large onscreen dial pad can be accessed on the color touch screen, and you don't need to go to another application to access the contact list--calling and contacts are all completely integrated. All of the latest phone features folks expect are built-in, too, like a handsfree speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones, a vibrate mode and picture caller ID. The capacity of the unit's address book is only limited by the amount of internal and expansion memory available.

The Treo 755p is also a fully functional Palm OS device. That means that a huge library of applications, from spreadsheets to word processors to games, can be added to the Treo 755p. Download, view, and edit Word and Excel compatible files, rehearse a PowerPoint presentation, even review PDF files, directly on the 755p's touchscreen. It's easy to perform multiple tasks like checking your calendar while talking on the phone or dialing calls directly from your contacts list. Familiar Palm OS software ships with the handset including calendar, calculator, clock, contacts, memo, and task management applications. Meanwhile, the unit's memory expansion slot allows you to transfer music, photos, and video from your desktop. Or, use it to load additional games and applications.

Fun and Games
The integrated VGA digital camera included with the Treo 755p sports a 2x digital zoom, features automatic light balancing, can be used to capture video with 352 x 288 pixel resolution, and is outfitted with a handy self-portrait mirror function. If you want to take your tunes with you, the Treo 755p comes with the PocketTunes application, allowing you to load up all your favorite music on MiniSD memory cards, and enjoy MP3 music on the go. Plus, with the ever-expanding library of Palm OS compatible games and other entertainment applications, you'll never be at a loss for something fun to do during break time.

Vital Statistics
The Treo 755p weighs 5.64 ounces and measures 2.3 x 4.4 x 0.84 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4.2 hours of talk time, and up to 240 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the CDMA 850/CDMA 1900 frequencies for voice and CDMA2000 EV-DO for data. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.
