Reader Joel W. from St. Louis asks Smart Device Central's Jamie Lendino: Which is the best overall phone for phone quality and office email connectivity on the Sprint network: the Treo 755p or the Mogul?

Jamie's answer: Depends on your office e-mail. Both the 755p and the Mogul can sync with Microsoft Exchange servers, though the Mogul also supports Exchange 2007. The 755p can hook into Good Mobile Messaging, but if you needed that, you'd probably know about it already from your IT department. The 755p can't receive Yahoo! mail via its built-in e-mail client, while the Sprint Mogul can.

More of Jamie's reply after the jump.

Neither handset is a particularly wonderful voice phone. I'd give the 755p the nod in voice quality, though don't forget that Palm OS doesn't support voice dialing if you're using a Bluetooth headset. (The Mogul does).

They're both nice smartphones, mind you. Just keep in mind that smartphones are still not like PCs, unfortunately. While you can be reasonably sure that you can do most things you need to whether or not you get a Sony, HP, or Lenovo laptop, you may find there's a key feature you need out of your smartphone that you flat-out cannot do with certain handsets.

So just double-check what e-mail systems you need your phone to support, and whether or not that phone's level of support is sufficient (for example, will it just work with the WAP page? Or can you configure the built-in e-mail client? What about push e-mail? Can you add a third-party app client like Gmail for mobile?) Despite the above, the 755p and Mogul are both solid handsets.
