with this many programs open, the mogul would have absolutly exploded. it would have been a miracle to even get close.


nothing appears stripped for me

GPS locks FAST
RevA def works
WiFi works
etc...

haha mines would explode with like 6 open.
i hate it SO bad. when i get my 800 im done with that crap.

2. wifi works perfectly fine?
3. Battery life is like or better than the 700wx?
4. its stable and no or very little lags?
5. and if I signed my contract in January I have to pay about $400 for this fone?

1 - GPS is working, without issues, directly out of the box. Beautiful I tell you!
2 - WiFi, not an issue here, locks on quickly, and it will switch between cell data and wifi if you go in an out of coverage.
3 - Battery life is so-so for me, but I am a big data user.
4 - Very stable. I have re-set a few times, just to delete programs.
5 - if you do not qualify for an upgrade, sounds like you do not, you will probably pay 599.00 for the phone
6 - text messaging uses the Palm Threaded app. Cool feature though, outgoing messages are gray until sent, and then changes color. Kind of like a notification of it being delivered.
7 - Phone as Modem, nope, not tried this.
8 - have not had one problem out of active sync.

I have only had the phone since yesterday like most, andI know it is hard to accept, but this phone actually works the way we always wanted our 700wx and mogul to work. No lag time, and decent memory managment. I would have liked a soft reset button, and the battery life seems a little weak, but really too early to know forsure.

Is this for real? The Touch doesn't do VC/BT either??
This is the deal killer for me- is this a known issue that will be addressed or is it just the way Palm devices work?

I had to stick a post-it note to the back because my fingers kept slipping on the down-motion.. this really sucks.

Is the battery life and camera compared to the Touch here? How is the volume compared to the Touch, using speakerphone, BT, and the actual earpiece?

Thanks for answering all the questions! I'm considering making this move but I'm not sure on a few things. I wanna make sure I'm not downgrading in any way.

touch works fine w/ vc over bt. couldn't get it to work on the 800w though.

What I want to know is if X-Button or something similar would work on this phone? I guess it wouldn't matter that much with all the extra memory, but it would definatly help the battery life right?
