Is it worth the switch ??

i gave up a tp2 for the intrepid. best keyboard ever. one handed use is amazing.

I convinced my friend to temporarily swap mt treo pro for his intrepid. i am trying to get everything working before i make the switch. i treid gramin and igo8 for gps navigation and they would not detect the gps. they are both brand new progams. any solutions ?

also I used the ##pin number that i used to activate the phone and it worked to unlock the sim, what does that do?

See post 1 in my thread for your GPS answer. Maybe. If they are really brand new, they should know to look for GPD9: (the right port). If they're a bit older, they might not. Is your location service turned on?

Can't answer the sim question, this is the first worldphone I've ever used.

I will also say the keyboard is great. yesterday i switched from a treo pro to the intrepid and so far im loving it i have large hands and could never get used to typing fast without missing a lot of letters. I cant speak for the battery yet. it does have a smaller screen than the treo pro but i had bought a lot of software that i couldn't use on my treo due to the odd screen size. Im hoping i can use it again now that im back to a standard screen ratio.

just curious, how did you switch from the treo pro to the intrepid, I would like to do the same thing. The keyboard on the Treo Pro is way too small and after using my friends intrepid I would like to make the switch also. Still in contract, if anyone has a way please let me know.

had a phone on another line that was eligible for an upgrade so i just activated it on that line and someone in the sprint store called and had customer service flip the phones around. not that big a deal actually.
