Re: Treo 800w Fails On Me For The 3rd Time! Im Done With This Phone!!!!!
The main improvement that just literally screamed at me was the superior quality of calls in the ear piece. I didn't think the 800 was that bad, but wow it's sooo much more clear on the Pro. The battery life I'm still studying while my battery gets conditioned. So far it's an improvement but not the "vast improvement" that I had read about and was anticipating. Also, when I had the 800, I didn't see the big deal with it not having a 3.5 mm jack. Well, although I wasn't pining for one, it sure is nice to have, especially when charging and I can still pop some headphones on and listen to some tunes. A big bonus is that the charging ports are the same (although the Pro's seems to be way more sturdy and not prone to getting loose) so I am able to use the same car charger and wall charger from my 800. The keyboard is not as difficult to get used to as I thought it would be, IMO, and at least it doesn't feel like a bunch of boogers. @cardenas even if the 800 wasn't discontinued, most likely you'd be getting a refurb. I somehow was eligible for the $150 upgrade discount and MIR so I got it for $199. You would probably have to got through at least one more 800 before retentions would consider giving you a free upgrad to the Pro, but that is just my opinion based on what I've read on various forums.
