Conclusion

I mentioned earlier that it's easy to take certain things for granted when you're a long-time Treo user: Palm's "special sauce" of usability, one-handed operation, decent battery life, and a great form factor. Yes, the 750 isn't the thinnest device out there, but when you factor in all the added power that you get from the full Pocket PC edition of Windows Mobile, touchscreen and all, it's best-of-breed.

So it's pretty clear I'm sweet on the 750. It's a great smartphone in a great form-factor. For simplicity's sake, TreoCentral's rating system is just 1-5 with no half-steps. That system has never really bothered me before today - I'd dearly love to give the 750 a 4.5, knocking it down that half-point for the critical lack of WiFi.

But I'm going to give it a 5, because Palm really does have a point when they say that 3G data speeds can offset the lack of WiFi. For those of you who don't have 3G on Cingular in your area yet, I would rate the phone a 4.
