Uneasy about the 700wx
I am interested in the 700wx, but have had less than pleasant experiences in the past with Windows Mobile. I would like to order a 700wx today assuming that I can have a stable device. Is the 700wx reliable and stable? I found that my problems were associated with third party applications. There are only two I intend on adding: Google Maps, and Opera Mini or Mobile (I am undecided and will use a Java Environment for Mini or straight install Mobile). If I stick to these two applications and keep the device stock otherwise, can I expect a stable and enjoyable 700wx? I would be using it on the Sprint Network.
Thank you. Bill |

mokash34,
Thank you for your quick reply! I see that you have the Sprint SERO 500 plan. I was glad to hear that you are also a Sprint users because I believe a users experience can vary greatly on the same device from carrier to carrier. If I may, how are you running Opera Mini. I realize that you are utilizing a Java Environment. I my Motorola Q9c I am using a JBed but I have never run Opera Mini on Windows Mobile Professional. If you would tell me what Java Environment you are using and where I might find it I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone else would like to give their thoughts on the 700wx I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Billbeme |

I've had mine for nearly a year and have had zero problems with the device itself. My only problem has been trying to sync it. I have a Vista powered laptop, and as such, have to use WMDC. I have yet to be able to sync my Treo. There's been a slew of threads on this issue. Hope you're using an XP based machine, as you'll use ActiveSync. All that aside, it's a great device on many levels. As Mokash stated, it's very stable. The combination of WM and the 128MB of RAM make this a great platform, as it allows you to run multiple programs at once and not worry about freezes (they do happen, but rarely..easily fixed w/ a soft reset). Another nice thing is the abundance of good third party apps that are out there. I tried Opera Mobile, but it ate up WAY too much memory for my liking. In addition to the software you're going to install, I would STRONGLY suggest a backup program such as SPB Backup, Sprite, or Resco Backup.

Re: Uneasy about the 700wx
I also have had a wx for about 2 years without any complaints, it is a very capable, strong device. The one thing I have wondered while reading this thread is that it sounds like your a Sprint user, and if you are....get the 800w!!!! From all reviews it is just as good, and better on a lot of points, well worth the extra $!!!!
If your serious about wanting a PPC, and like the wx, the 800 offers GPS, wi-fi, 320x320 resolution screen, double the memory, and faster speeds!!!! |
Re: Uneasy about the 700wx
+1 for the 700wx!! And I second what syrguy1969 said!
late, Coz |
Re: Uneasy about the 700wx
i was gonna saythe same thing, but i'll have to agree with both coz and syrguy on this. plus i thought about getting one heavily, and it is very stable for something that has a 312 MHz processor.

Re: Uneasy about the 700wx
i just got a wx and the day i got it i put on ebags WM6 trimmed ver. I have used both the 6700 and the mogul since the day they both came out and would say that the wx running wm6 is the best thing i have ever used. I have had it for 2 weeks and only did one soft reboot and with the 6700 and mogul i have to do it 5x a day at least. I also put a lot of programs from spb on it to see if they work and they all run with no problem. It also plays movies, and i am using sMMS with 0 problems. I would like the 800 but it's not worth it yet for me. I got my wx for under $80.00 and can get a wifi card for $30.00. what more is the 800 then that. I also travel and use my laptop with MS streets and Trips for GPS. so that feature I would not use.
