Treo 700wx quality

[nxtech3]

i also had a 700wx before the 6800 and 6900 and there really wasnt any complaint i had except for screen size. as far as hardware issues i saw far less 7000wx than i did the Palm Version.

I love my 700wx. I had to send in my mogul for screen repair since I had the mysterious white spots that many people have complained about, so I switched to the 700wx for now(which is my backup until i get the mogul back). The phone is incredible. Stable and fast with plenty of RAM. Never had any issues with the phones hardware. I have dropped it at least 3 times from ear level onto concrete and it's still a champ. I did have a weird problem with Ringtones mysteriously disappearing and Alarms going off at 10am everyday even when not set! But it was probably something I did wrong. Anyway, I agree with everyone about the screen size/quality. I must say the treo screen is WAY brighter and easier to see in direct sunlight. REMEMBER!!! The mogul has WIFI and the Treo does not! The keyboard is also a lot smaller but still very easy to use (just not as easy as the mogul's).

Long story short: if you don't care about wifi, screen size and keyboard size... there is nothing that should stop you from switching to the 700wx.
avoid the palm OS that comes with the other palm phones for reasons already listed by other users. the treo also comes stock with WM5 but WM6 is easy to flash onto the phone.

I ahve the Treo 700wx right now in the Palm of my hands, and I gotta say.... THIS BEATS THE MOGUL'S BUTT!!

Don't get the Sprint 700wx. I had it and never regreted upgrading to the Sprint Touch. Does not have Rev A speed, only EVDO. Because of the 240x240 small screen it's incompatible with many 3rd pary appications out there. Good luck on finding games and apps that you like to work on this. This thing doesn't have GPS.

Too summarize it, the treo 700wx is old technology compare to the Mogul and Touch. There's so much more you can do with the Mogul and Touch. With the new Rom updates the Mogul and Touch have been very stable.

Not from what I have experienced for two months with the Mogul. I thought I loved it at first, but when it came down to the productivity and stability. It wasn't going to cut it. I read up on the 700p, 755p and the 700wx. Obviously the 700wx was my last choice, due to the bad experience with the Mogul. Alas, I traded in my Mogul for a 700wx. Never would regret it. The 700wx is much, much more stable than the Mogul's Windows Mobile 6 Professional. I have Mobile 6 Professional on my 700wx and it runs it much faster, it's much more responsive, and much more stable.

As for the small screen problem-- I don't play games on my Treo. I work on it. No 3rd party apps for me except for SEVEN Mobile Messaging, Google Maps, PDAnet. PHM RegEdit and Palm Threaded SMS. So the 240x240 screen does me plenty. Though a 320x320 screen would be nice, to see more in a screen, but the 240x240, like I said, is plenty enough.

Last time I checked, my Mogul has the latest ROM available from Sprint. I would reset my phone at least once every other day just to clear up the RAM. This thing has so much RAM to offer, it's so much faster-- I don't see where you're coming from! The GPS issue-- yes, the GPS was a nice feature on the Mogul, but I don't use it often. I do drive, but I don't believe in using your phone while driving (Yes, I'm like that, and yes, it's normal).

It's old technology, but it works. Much like Palm's OS Garnet. It's quickly becoming an ancient relic more than a mobile revolution, but it has proved itself much more stable over the years with the little patches here and there, they have perfected the Palm OS 5.4.

I know I kinda attacked you on that, and I'm sorry. I'm just so happy that my ex-Mogul is out of my view, and the power of the Treo 700wx is in the Palm of my hands.

Well, that doesnt happen to mine. My wx works perfectly, even a after being dropped or stepped on. But, im probably switching to a Treo 500 or the 800w thats supposed to be coming to alltel/verizon.
