Who’s It For
Business User – The Treo 700p is well suited to business users: the QWERTY keyboard makes writing longer emails easy.
Budget Callers – For those looking for value for money calling, the 700p is a bust; it has features they don’t need and is more expensive than a basic phone.
Chatty Teenager – The talkative and texting teen of the family may like the full QWERTY keyboard, but will probably find the device overload for most of their uses. Plus it’s not as cool looking as many other phones.
Media Maven – Media maven’s may like a lot of the Treo 700p’s features, but will need to invest in additional software to ensure full compatibility with different media types.
Conclusion
The Treo 700p from sprint is a strong contender for anyone looking for a smart phone. Highlights are ease of use and the wide variety of functionality that it offers. However, the Palm OS is showing its age in some areas, and we wish that the 700p provided better functionality as a media device. The 700p is not a cheap device, and like all Treos it’s bulky and heavy. Business users will probably be best served by the 700p as it provides an array of PIM functionality and the ability to sync easily with your desktop. Overall we pleased with the 700p, and it will be a particularly good pick for someone who knows the Palm OS (perhaps from an old PDA) and wants to roll the PDA and phone into one device.
