Following my post about Choosing Your Next Treo so many Treonauts have emailed me asking to better understand the specific differences between the six current and future Treo smartphones that I thought the time had come to put together a comparative chart for all of these. Additionally, because someone suggested that I make my original chart a ‘permanent’ feature on Treonauts we have now added it here.
I have included all the features and specifications with highlighted areas where there are clear differences between one or more Treo smartphones (most Treo accessories will work across all Treo models except the cases).

| Notes:
TP = Option Available Via Third Party Application The Treo 750V is a Vodafone version of the 750W so we have named it accordingly. Thank you to all those who have contributed corrections. If you have corrections please post them in the original Treo Family Comparison Chart comments. |
