Either or are a good pick. I prefer slide out keyboard so I would go for the 8525, but if you like the keyboard on the front get the 750. There really (to my knowledge, which isn't much sometimes) much difference.

750, because it sleeker, it's a Treo, and I get less calls about the 750 than I do on the 8525.

Actually, they're both Winodws, but okay. 🤨

I would go with the 750, the sliding out keyboard is convenient, but not while you are driving trying to dial a number, and the voice activation dialing isn't all that it is cracked up to be on the 8525, but it does have BA reception, the best reception i have ever had on a phone.

You shouldn't be dialing while driving, anyway.

Dude, I grew up in Houston you drive so damn much that if you don't dial while driving, you will never use your phone.

did you just drop a BA on the reception for the 8525? I think that makes you a Dane Cook fan? Potentially, either way I love it. As long as you don't like sour apple jolly ranchers then we are cool.

Or what? you might have to start stabbing jaws?

I would have gone with BAMF, but ever since back in the day, which was a Wednesday, I have found that people can't handle BAMF...

and yes if you couldn't already tell, I am huge Dane Cook fan.

In fact my friend Kevin was suppose to go to the Laff Stop in Houston the night that Dane was recording his Harmful if Swallowed act, and didn't go because the girl that wanted him to go had a huge crush on him and he didn't like her lol. You can actually hear her mom in the background laughing really hard throughout the entire set.

The parking structure is referring to the Galleria's parking garage that is exactly how he makes it sound in his act, you turn and you screech.

treo's are overrated. I've had a 650 and a 700w and I just don't think they are that great despite the OS. A week in with the 8525 and I think it is a pretty fantastic device, I just wish they had it for Verizon.

If they made the dialing pad bigger i would love it more but yes the 8525 is better in theory, I love it.

your logic is so screwed up. more like saying mcdonald's said it would be ok for bk to sell a bigmac, EXACTLY the way mcd's already make it. my opinion is go with the treo 750 cuz it's not as bulky. they pretty much do the exact same thing.

oh, and isn't windows available for the mac? thought i heard something, not sure

(patiently waiting for some sarcastic remark about your logic being screwed up and mine being completely wrong) 🤣

Your wrong/right...yes treo did get the go ahead to use windows duh or else it would be a patent infringement. But y would you go to bk to get a big mac when Mc Donald's has perfected it y because their the originators/inventors. And it wouldn't be EXACTLY the way mcd's makes it y...its not McD making it its BK trying to make it like McD. The student's never 100%...In other words y go to the student when you can go to the PROFESSOR??? And yes you can get a mac with windows but y the hell would you???? if you want windows you get a preloaded windows comp. Whats next? playing xbox games on a ps3..just because it can?

(beat that homie)
