Best In Class PalmOne Treo 650 Edges Past Samsung i730
Strategy Analytics, the global research and consulting company, today released, "Blackberry Learning Curve Too Steep for Consumers as PalmOne Treo Sets New Usability Standard," its latest converged device benchmark report, which concludes that the PalmOne Treo 650 is the highest rated converged device in the USA, narrowly edging the Samsung i730 into second place and also beating the UTStarcom PPC6600 and Blackberry 7100. These results come from hands-on consumer testing by the Strategy Analytics Advanced Wireless User Panel.
The PalmOne Treo 650 achieved "Best in Class" status based upon superior menu systems and UI, display, style and design. Despite scoring highly for applications, the Samsung i730 was too large and too heavy to win over users. The UTStarcom PPC6600 also faired well for applications but was lacking in style and design. Participants struggled with the Blackberry 7100's steep out-of-the- box learning curve.
