My Thoughts Exactly!

Quote:

Not that I'd reccomend a 700p to anyone but the most weakminded of fools who chants "but I like the treo's form factor and I dont want to learn a new os, and I have $xx.xx dollars wrapped up in palm software."

The treo 700p is almost as good as the treo 650 that we were promised to get two years ago, minus of course the wifi. Why palm thinks they can keep thier userbase by releasing a "new" product that is very slightly better than a 2 year old device is beyond my imagination. An since the 700p even falls short of the original conceptual specs of the treo 650, that makes the 700p technically two years old on the day it was released. I consider it to only be a revision in the treo 650's long path to fixing the bugs that should have been fixed shortly after its initial release. Why anyone would buy from that kind of company, or worse yet, expect that company to stay in buisness, is also beyond my imagination.

We were discussing Shadowmite leaving his 6700 to go to a 700p when spymongoose posted this. I thought it was the most well written "anti-palm" statements I have heard, and I just had to tell someone. I asked permission to post it on other sites and he agreed so here you go.

lol, that's pretty funny.

I was leaning heavily on the 700p before I got my 6700. I think I made a wise choice to go with the 6700. :D

i dono about u guys, but my weekness for the need of a new phone every 5 seconds and my love of being able to text one handed while driving( lol the 6700 has mad me VERY good at driving with my knees) is making me think about the 700w when it comes out, but as pretty as it is and all, i feel like i would be losing somthing more than just wifi if i made the switch. really wanna play with one tho when they come out

OMG i know!!! i want speach to text soooo bad. SOMEONE has to be able to make that program, that way i can do texting through my bt headset!! that would make this device the ultimate NO HANDED device, lol

I too have perfected driving without my hands, that was long ago though ... LoL ... but I will say sometimes it is awkward trying to do the one hand thing on the ppc, the wide keyboard makes it difficult, but when you're 6'4" the long fingers give me that extra ability!! :lol: but yah that is something I wish they would develop is a speech to text system for the handheld, maybe a mobile version of Dragon? I mean hell my $200 A900 has it, why can't my $400 ppc have it?

hey thats cool im 6'4" and Im only 16

what in the world??????u cant be that high
