"Returned after 2 Weeks of Pain"

by ciaoliz on March 25, 2007

Pros: touch screen

Cons: email delayed, low sound, need to re-boot to get a signal sometimes, confusing manual, and brick heavy
Summary: I returned my Treo 750 after 2 weeks of pain for a Blackberry Pearl (which is pain-free). The Treo email setup took hours because their manual is missing important information. Once I got email, I could not read the messages right away. I could see an email arrived because the subject appeared, but then I could not read the message. Instead, the email detail said, "message will be truncated and appear the next time you log in." When I would re-boot the Treo 750, most of the time, I still could not read the email detail - and in some cases, it did not truncate for 2 days. The ear piece was defective so I could not hear people in a quiet restaurant. I also had to re-boot (take the battery out of the back) several times just to get a signal, which was really frustrating. Lastly, the Treo 750 is so heavy compared to the Blackberry. Fortunately, Cingular has a 30-day return policy and was nice about exchanging the phone to a Blackberry Pearl. I do not recommend the Treo 750 unless you want headaches, pain and a brick in your pocket.
Updated
The Palm store was not as nice about returns as Cingular. Even though I explained that I returned the Treo 750 because it was defective, they only offered me a store credit for the accessories that I bought. They have a sneaky 14-day return policy (probably because they have little confidence in their products) so they refused to let me returned an over-priced case for $84.00 and car charger - even though they were in perfect condition. I am now disputing the charges with Visa - more pain from the Treo 750!
