Palm Treo 700p (silver, Sprint)

Pros: Graphics, Broadband, Bluetooth, better Camera

Cons: Personal Navigation issues; lack of software available

Summary: Just to start out, I would like to give out a little background info on myself. I started out with the Treo 300(sprint) a few years back, and have had the Treo 600(sprint) for 2 straight years. I bought my wife the sprintTreo 650 a couple of months ago (she loves it). Altogether, I have been very happy with my Treos. They have gotten me out of trouble more than once. Initially I had some issues with navigation. But I think much of this was due to the habits formed from my other Treos. Now into my second day with the Treo 700P, I have gotten the hang of it I would say 85%. Folks need to realize that there is a learning curve with equipment like this. You should not expect to jump right into this phone and think you will be able to master it in an hour or so. Part of the reason that they call us techies is that we love to discover and tinker with our new toys. Features: I really like the speed of the Sprint Power Vision ($5 more per month for me. Sprint Tv was not the greatest, but is somewhat entertaining. The Bluetooth was figured out very easily. The camera and video camera look very nice for a phone. The hotsync cord charges your phone when plugged in, through your PC. It did not sync my old Treo 600 contacts and info at all though , so I had to beam everything via IR port. I downloaded some games (Pacman, Atari Retro, Madden NFL) and they look REALLY nice. You can download, save and play MPEG's fairly easily with good sound just by clicking. It comes with stereo headphones (for music) that have a microphone attached that can be used to answer calls with as well. It has a handy little button on the side that lets you easily input voice memos (that can be later used as ringers). The calendar feature is the same one that has been sufficient since using it on my Treo 600. Being able to open Microsoft Office documents is a great feature (though I personally don't need it).
All in all, this device is darn near perfect. But I hesitate in giving anything a 10 usually. But at least I own this device and actually am familiar with most of the applications. I am irritated by folks who give gear a rating of 2 because they tried it for a second or saw it in a mall and think that they know what they are talking about. For all you Treo haters out there...... this phone will only fuel your fire....it's that good.
