Palm Treo 755p Cell Phone Review
 The Treo 755p won't be a surprise to anyone who knows Palm phones. We've seen the software and hardware on other devices, this just happens to be the first with this particular combination. Running Palm OS the Treo 755p is a powerful smart phone with excellent messaging and organizer features. Palm OS is as quick and easy to use as ever, making the Treo 755p a good choice for those who want the power of a smart phone without the learning curve that comes with Windows Mobile or Symbian devices. We like the small design changes made from previous Treo devices, removing the camera, adding a soft touch finish and slimming a couple of millimeters off, but the Treo 755p is still a rather bulky device. Palm hasn't wowed us with a device for awhile and the Treo 755p does nothing to change that track record.

Palm Centro Cell Phone Review
 The Centro is Palm's latest attempt to bring innovation to the smart phone market, after years of phones with only minor improvements. The biggest thing you'll notice when you see the Centro is that it's smaller than any Treo, and, despite being thicker than we might like, it feels very comfortable in hand. The trade-off is that the Centro's QWERTY keyboard is small and difficult to use — we almost wish Palm had gone with a two-letters-to-a-key approach, as we've seen on the BlackBerry Pearl.
The Centro runs Palm OS, which hasn't seen much development over the last few years. This isn't necessarily a terrible thing; the Palm OS remains one of the fastest and easiest to use operating systems we've seen on a phone, although it lacks in areas like multi-tasking. There is a huge library of Palm OS applications available to improve the Centro's software capabilities, though. Of course, the most important feature of the Centro for many people might be the price, and at $99 with a two-year contract, the Centro might be one of the best values out there, despite its flaws.

Palm Treo 750 Cell Phone Review
 We reviewed the Treo 750 on Cingular. It is not currently available from any other U.S. carrier. The Treo 750 is available from Cingular for $399.99 with a two year contract or $649.99 without a contract. The 750 is the latest in Palm’s lineup of Treo devices, which a little over a year ago expanded to include both Windows Mobile and Palm OS devices. Like the original Windows Mobile Treo, the 700w, the Treo 750 runs Windows Mobile 5. The 750 differs from previous Treo’s primarily in its appearance, losing the antenna, adding soft touch paint and slimming down every so slightly. Under the hood the 750 retains many of the enhancements found on the 700w, including dialing, photo speed dials and Google search built into the Today screen. The 750 adds threaded SMS messaging to the package of Palm enhancements and as such provides value that does not come standard on many other Windows Mobile devices.

Palm Treo 700p Cell Phone Review
 We reviewed the Treo 700p on Sprint, it is also available from Verizon. The Treo 700p is the successor to the Treo 650, running the Palm operating system. On the outside the 700p stays true to the tried and tested Treo form factor, sporting a full QWERTY keyboard and a large 320 by 320 pixel screen. Although there are a few software updates, as well as improved memory under the hood, the Treo 700p is very much an evolutionary upgrade to the 650.
