Re: 800w Reviews

Glad I made the switch for this from my Mogul. Was leary at first but for a "out of the box" device it works pretty nicely. Tweak it here and there and it is awesome!
Seriously..nobody is ever going to be smart enough to come out with a good OEM battery right off the bat. Gotta make some more money off us some how.

Re: 800w Reviews

tested one recently, and i must say tha the [Windows Mobile] Treos have absolutely gotten much better in media capabilities (blew me away) and overall performance (flawless) besides design. and it has over 80MB of ram and almost 170MB of storage space free out the box. fascinating.

Re: Just got this puppy and boy is it...

The device does ROCK! Common complaint is the stylus, though with a touchscreen and keyboard, you can easily configure it for 1 handed operation, so no need for a stylus.

I would have prefered a 240x320 screen.

Re: 800w Reviews

I'm having syncing problems. I was unable to sync for about 18hrs after purchasing the phone. Then it finally worked for about 2hrs and its gone again. NO! there's nothing wrong with my USB port. any suggestions?

Re: 800w Reviews

I am curious to know what people are doing for their battery life to be so horrible. I have been playing with this thing all day long. Web, Videos, Sprint TV, Downloading, tweaking, WIFI, calls, text, email and I am just now at less than half a battery. You folks letting it fully charge before playing with it? For me the battery has held up just fine.

Same problem when I first got mine. Soft reset by removing battery for 5 seconds and put back in. Try ti sync then. Let me know how it goes. I haven't had a problem since.
