\"treo<\/a>I test drove Rogers’ new Treo 750 for the past couple weeks. Today, Rogers announced<\/a> increased market support for Windows Mobile devices, so it is an appropriate time for me to provide some feedback.<\/p>\n

By way of background, Rogers’ version of the Treo 750 is the first to include Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional and it is equipped with HSPA connectivity for extremely high speed downloads.<\/p>\n

I have been using a Blackberry for the past few years and my family will attest that I am a certified addict. As a Blackberry user, a Treo takes some getting used to, but I can appreciate the drive by carriers to offer Windows Mobile in addition to Blackberry in order to appeal to a broader range of users.<\/p>\n

Let’s face it – not everyone is focussed on the need to have their messages, NOW!<\/p>\n

For people who want to have a broader range of Windows applications, a device like the Treo 750 is an attractive alternative. Easy dialing, camera, familiar file systems, MSN Messenger, Word, Excel and Powerpoint all contribute to an easy mobile office experience. My university age assistant reviewers want to know when I am getting them their Treos.<\/p>\n

I like the full keyboard, but a pop-up touch screen version is also available for use with the stylus. I can see that option may help relieve my remote control thumb stress.<\/p>\n

Rather than discussions looking at the next Blackberry-killer, people should be considering alternatives like the Treo 750 as broadening the range of options to offer consumers.<\/p>\n

The best restaurants offer fish on their menu as well. Some people don’t like steak.<\/p>\n

Update<\/b> [October 3, 11:30 am]
Here is a link to the official Rogers news release<\/a> on its focus on Windows Mobile devices.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Update 2<\/b> [October 3, 4:30 pm]
For those of you switching to Windows Mobile platforms, I was able to easily load my Viigo RSS newsreader application onto the Treo, which updated the articles at blistering speeds compared to my Blackberry. Just point your browser to mobile.virtualreach.com<\/a> and it will auto-select the correct version to load onto your device. I think it is the best way to read blogs and news feeds on a mobile device.<\/p>\n
