I had 3 Treo 600s and a 650 and all had hardware problems. Not always the same thing either. I finally gave up and went to a Blackberry.

Don't get it. I had the Blackjack and got tired of it so I thought I'd try a treo 750 even though my Treo 650 was horrible. I had the Treo 750 all of 10 days and went back to the Blackjack.

Problems I had with the 750:

Dropped calls
Freezes up and needs reset DAILY - (BJ never freezes up)
Hit the end key to hang up and takes 5 seconds to disconnect
Battery life was bad

Only good thing about that phone is the threaded sms messaging. That is it though. My advice would be to stay away. BJ is a much better choice imho.

I find this so funny. This is just your opinion and because you don't like it, he won't? I find that funny.

I had the Blackjack and it froze all the time. I love my Treo 750 and hated the Blackjack. I personally love touchscreen phones and the bigger screen of the Treo 750. I think I get better reception on the Treo and I hated the Blackjacks vibration because you could hear it down the hall it was so loud.

Battery life on the Treo 750 is the same as the BJ. Mine doesnt take time to hang up, so I don't know what thats about. I customized my Treo and love how it runs.

All I can say is try it out and make your own conclusions.

I go back and forth with my 750 , I love it and all that I have been able to do with it. I am actually posting here from my 750 and laying it bed with my feet up. I have had Treos ever since the 180, and honestly have stuck with them for form factor. The 750 has been the first Treo that it feels like they got it right.

My only real complaint is maybe more of an MS issue or just a Windows issue I am not sure, its the fact that its a PIA to get software for the Treo. There are games I'd play that just don't work on the square screen. There is even an app that Cingular provides, their Mobile IM app that does work on they Treo, and it seems more because the square screen.

Aside from that, I have everthing I need working well, and after a little tinkering have even made my piece , I wouldn't mind a spare phone but the Treo at least gets 4 stars outta 5, or so..... that's just my half a cent of wisdom.
