Treo 750 is coming.

I personally find myself to be going back and forth between my Nokia E90 and HTC TyTN II every other day and it feels good to have this kind of variety. Lately I have been using my TyTN II a lot more during the day instead of my E90 and I believe it's due to the ease of email and messaging, the touchscreen and the smaller size. I don't have much use at all for the E90's camera or its music player, so multimedia is not really as important as it used to be. Honestly, the E90's widescreen is the ultimate champ in browsing the web, but the TyTN II's screen is sufficient and even better with touchscreen access.

With my financial troubles of having to pay down debt I am not able to spend money on unlocked phones anymore, but I did get a new phone from AT&T! Due to my length of time with the company I was eligible for an upgrade credit on any new phone available through AT&T Premier, but there was a problem. I found that even with the upgrade credit all of the available PDA smartphones were too expensive, so I was limited to only refurbished units. After a couple days I eventually decided that my best choice was a refurb Treo 750 for $75. Minus the wifi and resolution, this Treo can offer the same fuctionality of the Windows Mobile OS and provide excellent support for one handed usage. From a practical standpoint this unit can immediately be adopted into my personal network since I already use Missing Sync software with my TyTN II, and that is very convenient! I remember owning the Treo 680 a while back and really liked the form factor of the device even though the aging, boring Garnet interface needed work. So with this preowned Treo 750, my collection of smartphones shall basically be complete with three different form factors: clamshell, slider and block.
