Dont mean to steal your story but, I had a treo 650 and it would always reset on me for no reason, went to the sprint store and they didnt have any so they gave me a 700 for free.

Now you may ask why I am so happy about getting a refurb, but this is why. When I did ##786 I found out it was manufactured on 12/23/05. You know what that means? I CAN RECIEVE CALLS ON A DATA CONNECTION!!!

All phones manufactured after April 2006 cannot recieve calls on an EVDO data connection. My previous one was manufactured after April so I was deprived of this ability, but not anymore.

GOD, I LOVE MY 6700!

Can someone elaborate on the significance of having a manufacturing date before April 2006?

What does this mean ?I CAN RECIEVE CALLS ON A DATA CONNECTION!!!? does he simply mean simultaneously ? I thought there was a reg hack that allowed this as well as the new rom update was supposed to allow this?

Mine was manufactured 21-Nov-2005

I posted this before the hack was created, so yeah.

how can i receive a call when im on a data connection??
like 1x?

You cannot receive calls if you have an active 1x data connection. 1x technology does not allow the tower to notify your phone of an incoming call when data is actually transferring back and forth (it will ring through fine if the connection is idle though).

With EV-DO, even with an active data connection, the tower can still communicate with your phone to say "hey you've got a call here". Your phone (depending on its DDTM setting) will then place your data session on hold and allow you to take the call. Once you're done with it (or if you don't answer) the data connection will resume.

This doesn't mean that data and voice can coexist--just that you can switch back and forth--sort of like call waiting. Think of 1x as being a line without call waiting--incoming calls will go direct to your voicemail if you're on an active data call. With EV-DO, the call can get through for you to answer it if you want.
