Who's It For
Business User
The Treo 755p is a good choice for a business user that wants an easy to use smart phone. The native support for Exchange Server is great for those who are working in such an environment and the organizer tools provide you all the power you should need.
Budget Callers
The Treo 755p is not a budget phone. If you want a Palm OS smart phone at a much more reasonable price go with the Palm Centro.
Chatty Teenager
Chatty teenagers will love the excellent messaging program on the Treo 755p, but the size, professional looks and price probably aren't a good fit. Go with the Palm Centro instead.
Media Maven
The Treo 755p is a handset much more focused on productivity than multimedia. pTunes isn't very impressive as music playback software and the video playback capabilities are limited. That being said you can go out and pick up a program like Coreplayer you can significantly improve the multimedia capabilities, but out of the box we'd recommend going with a Series 60 device or an iPhone if you're a media maven.
Conclusion
The Treo 755p is a nostalgic phone. Despite some upgrades to the form factor its basically the same Palm OS device we've seen rolled out for quite awhile now. Palm is working on an updated version of its operating system, but that isn't scheduled to arrive for at least a year. In the meantime the Treo 755p might be a decent upgrade for someone who's older Treo is dying on them, but we can't really say there's a compelling reason to upgrade. Those who have never had a smart phone and want an easy to use device with professional good looks and powerful functionality should also consider the Treo 755p.
