Re: Just got my 800w/problems already

I just got my "free, swap for BT-defective Mogul" 800w from Sprint. Have been using Touch for last 6 months. 800w BT not nearly as good as my Touch or my Razr2. First call to my wife using BT on 800w got this comment: "doesn't sound nearly as good as your old phone (Touch)".

Will play with the 800w awhile. Random thoughts so far:

Generally like the form factor, but a bit heavier and thicker than it should be, IMO. Battery life weak. BT average or worse. Stylus so flexible it's hard to use. Fast wrt scrolling and app switching. Lots of memory. Prefer 6.1 SMS to Palm SMS. Can't have different screen brightness settings for battery and AC power. Hard and soft resets require ridiculous battery removals! Better off-axis screen viewing than Touch. When BT pairing with my car, it identifies itself with Owner Name, not Device Name. IR port a waste of space and resources in 2008.

Thinking it may soon go on eBay as "almost new"....
