I have gotten a lot happier with my 800w after installing a number of free applications and hacks. Solved my battery issues (turned off GPS and auto e-mail sync), now waiting to see who is going to delivery a microUSB to 3.5mm headset adapter for my Shure headset.
Still looking for hack to resolve low volume for headset, Palm must have turned it way down so it wouldn't damage the crappy headset that comes with system? I also see there is a microUSB adpater for 2 microUSB into the microUSB on the 800w.
Haven't tried the RealVGA yet, but probably soon.
My unit has been pretty stable so far, even with a number of 3rd party apps and all the hacks I have done to make the phone better. There are some great people on all the Treo/WM/etc forums giving great help, info and hacks/apps.
I am very interested in the Lakeridgesoftware.com WizBar, this app has some very cool Today screen mods. Can make your 800w look like an IPhone.
good luck.

I have a 700wx, and I'm happy with it. But, today I started to look into the 800w, and it's very nice. I'm just getting mixed signals, and I'm wondering if anyone could put simply whether or not to make the move from my current phone to the 800w. I'm mainly concerned with battery life and if its buggy at all. I've heard that the battery life isn't very good, and even after looking through various other threads about it, I can't seem to figure out if it's really that bad or not. As for problems with it, I read something about a backlight issue, whats that? And are there any other problems with the phone?
tl;dr, switch from 700wx to 800w, wise or not? |
