Okay so I’m a silent observer and have had my Treo 700wx for about three weeks. Currently I’m in the process of exchanging it for at 700p and wanted to

A) gain some insights to ensure this is the right move
B) Give users my review on the phone.

Previously I had the 650 because it was compatible with my real estate software. I had the 700p previously and became so hooked on the EVDO internet speed, that when I switched back to a 650 I NEVER checked the internet. Its like going back to dial up…not cool.

So after upgrading to the 700wx here are my concerns/problems that has caused my relationship with this phone to be irreconcilable.

- I had to download a few 3rd party programs just to get the BASIC functionality that my Treo 650 had. For instance the threaded SMS, which I absolutely love. This took up just about all the memory for me.
- I downloaded an additional program to send pictures via MMS. This took up significantly more memory.
- Finally I had the City ID software that allowed me to see where a caller was coming from.

Now, a few weeks later and my phone has about 5 MBS of memory out of 65 (or something) left which makes it basically useless.

Problems I have had with this phone are the following:
- My phone will not allow me to make a phone call for several minutes saying “cannot complete call” and yaddie yaddie. I never had this problem with the 650. It will say “No Signal” but it wouldn’t just do it out of the blue and then the next second make a phone call.
- When an incoming caller calls, and I try to switch over to answer the other call, the phone will either hang up both calls, then call back with an unknown of the second caller or it will allow me to switch the call but I cannot go back to the original call. This sucks…
- I will get a “Out of Memory” error message and it will not let me click the box to close.

Now my rational is if the 700p does the basic functions the 650 does, then the memory increases in the 700wx is nominal. Because out of the box, I’m able to do what I love.

My purpose for having this phone is too maintain my schedule, send pictures / video’s, play an occasional game in a long meeting, surf the internet at a pretty good speed, text with a threaded message, and use if for my real estate. I figured if I’m having this much problems with the basic 700wx functions, what the heck is in store for me out there.

With that said, I’ve searched many posts before trying to find a solution. I’m pretty much at the end of the road. Palm, I’m sorry I cheated on you with this woman…please forgive me and take me back. You are already in the mail so we’ll have to make up when you return by me installing all the apps I had on my 650…and with all these apps, I still had space on my 650 so I can only imagine what fun the palm 700p will have in store (I’m joking with the connotations) ….

If anyone has any words to defend any of this I’m interested in hearing. If not, then another wx phone will bite the dust….Soprano style…..

Regards!
