LOL... this guy is complaining about reception, when his phone hasn't ACTUALLY had a problem with reception at all!

Look, if the phone can't actually make a call where your TREO could, then you can come here and tell us you actually have a problem.

This is only a "perceived" problem, especially if everything works as it should when you need it! You say you made a call and it jumped to 1x with a couple of bars- that's exactly what it SHOULD do! If anything, boo on the palm for not telling you the difference between data and voice signals!

As far as the battery goes, that is one of the few downsides of this device... Battery drain is high, especially when surfing EVDO. I always charged all my PDAs at night so as long as it makes it through the day its ok.
