Re: Sprint Treo 800W...coming July 2008 on Sprint?
No. HTC made the 6xx. Inventec made the 7xx, and Centro. Unless the boxes with inventec tape are telling me wrong. The funny thing is, the hardware defects are across all of the models.
Use your headphones? Hope you love them, because there's a really good chance your headset jack is going to stick and you're going to be forced to use them. (all models from the 600+)
Like actually talking on your phone? Cool, until your mic goes out (700w)
Haven't synced your phone in a while? Whoops, something on your board has gone bad and all that's looking back at you us an Access Powered screen (all Palm OS models, including your beloved Centro)
Even though I've had a 650, 700, and 755, I'm not just basing this on personal experience. I work as a repair tech for Sprint, and Palm devices easily make up 50-60% of my work load (and I'm not pulling a random number here, I've done the math on our tickets.)
Be it from the device simply not booting completely to being stuck in headset mode to random other failures(mics, keyboards, screens), I'm simply over Palm until proven wrong. I hope I am. I hope the 800w is a great device void of any major issues. But Palms track record (I know you say HTC and Inventec are to blame, but I don't see Titans, Apaches, Touchs, or even Harriers coming back constantly with the same issues) has left a bad taste in my mouth.
