Your phone

The Phone application is your home base for making and receiving calls and for storing info about the people you need to stay in touch with.

You can effectively manage multiple calls, such as sending text messages to ignored calls, swapping between calls, and creating three-way conference calls. Your Palm® Treo™ 755P smartphone helps you perform all these tasks with ease.

And you can do more than manage your phone calls, too. You can send text messages, open applications, go to your favorite web pages, see your upcoming appointments, and even find out how many unread email messages you have.

Benefits

•Stay in touch: you choose how

•Save time with shortcuts to your favorite info

•Have fun: add wallpaper and ringtones
