There's no denying the wealth of technology kneaded into this phone.
Introduction
Windows Mobile 5.0 is an operating system that some people swear by and some people swear at. Unlike its Palm-powered Cingular/AT&T twin the 680, the Treo 750 offers 3G UMTS broadband data services with promises to go full-fledged HSDPA sometime this year. The 750 has 128MB of internal memory compared to the 64MB on the 680 and offers a 1.3 MP vs. the VGA camera on the 680. It also adds multimedia features missing from another popular Cingular Smartphone, the studious Blackberry 8700c. But even with these add-ons, the 750 is saddled with a bloated price: $399.99 with a two-year contract and including a $100 rebate, but $649.99 if you're not buying or extending your Cingular plan. Considering the $499/$599 pricing on the 4GB and 8GB iPhones due in June or the similarly-spec'd Samsung Blackjack at $199.99 w/contract or $499.99 w/o contract, it's hard to justify opting for the 750.
