Just to throw my 2 cents in. The calling issues really sound like you could have a bad phone. It would be worth looking into at least.

I had a 700p for about 28 days before deciding to try the wx. I have been a Palm OS user for about 10 years so it was a big change for me. I'm in professional sales myself, and depend on my pocket organizer to manage my business. I will say I am very pleased with the 700wx. Yes it is unfortunate that I ad to install a few "hacks" like threaded SMS just to get the phone to how it should have come out of the box. I also remind myself that this is Palm's first attempt with PPC.

Battery drain was an issue with the 700P also. These devices just like power and there's no getting around that.

Bluetooth on the 700P was very rough. My Plantronics 510 worked very well with my WX right out of the box, and after the new bluetooth stack was released it works even better.
Now as far as listening to music through bluetooth you need an A2DP compatible headset, which mine isn't. As far as I know there isn't ANY hack out there to be able to listen to anything through your bluetooth on the 700P other than your phone calls. At least there wasn't when I owned mine in January.

I'm not going to keep going since you've already gone through with your swap. I used to be a Palm OS fanboy like you, but now I'm sold.

Oh and by the way. I have about 21 MB available on mine and I have a lot of stuff on there. Some of that comes down to efficient use of my SD card, which is also something you would also have to do on the 700P.
