Palm has finally released the Treo 750 in the Philippines. Microwarehouse threw a launch party for the Treo 750 on March 20, 2007 at the Embassy Bar, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Looking like the Treo 680's identical twin, the Treo 750 runs on Windows Mobile 5.0, unlike its predecessor running on the Palm OS.
The Treo 750 also features an upgraded camera (1.3 megapixels), and is now 3G- and HSDPA-capable. Processor-wise, it also took a different route by using a Samsung processor instead of Intel. The result of shifting to a different processor and OS is yet to be determined, but with regards to its features, Palm has definitely moved towards the right direction. Taking the best from the Treo 680 and improving on it, the Treo 750 is indeed a worthy upgrade to the Treo 680.

I would have to disagree with you on the last point. For those who chose to get the 650 or 680 because they run Palm OS, the 750 isn't even a blip on the radar.
The reason Palm is selling the Treo in Palm OS and WM variants is because some people are loyal to the specific OS. Personally, I'd stick with the 680 and wait for the 770p or another Palm OS based Treo. Now that would be an upgrade to the 680.
The reason why I said it was an improvement is because of the hardware changes such as the megapixel camera and 3G and HSDPA capability, which was lacking in the Treo 650 and 680.
The shift to a different OS isn't necessarily an improvement, that's why I said the verdict is yet to be determined as to the effect of choosing another OS.
It is obvious that Palm users are loyal to the OS, but if your looking for more featuresand can't wait, the Treo 750 has more to offer than the 680.
Fair enough. Given the chance, I'd probably still try the 750 out. I hear it's still easier to use than the O2 models.
On another note, I know the layout isn't your doing, but it's pretty cool! Mobile looks like a blog again!
thanks for useful information!

I'm glad Palm has released the 750. It has been a long time coming since this new version has come out. Huskies for Sale
