Better than the Treo 650p but still has bad call reception!!!

Overall Rating:
3.2 out of 5

Experience: 20 Days
Pros: + More options input of data- the keyboard, stylus, letter recognizer,etc - you don't need a separate software for it.
+ built in voice alarm announcer
+ evdo capable
+ Brighter Screen

Cons: The biggest complaint is the worst cell phone reception I have ever had.

Summary: I have returned this phone twice and both times the calls keep dropping no matter where I am located. There seems to be a real problem with this model. Some of my friends seem happier with the 700p. Be sure to test out both models at your location. I have been a long time Treo fan & I was very disappointed.

Palm Treo 700wx

Overall Rating:
2.5 out of 5
By: Carey Chen on Wednesday, March 21, 2007
From: Etna, NH (United States)
Experience: 2 Weeks
Pros: Windows Based

Cons: Small Keyboard, and continued need for a stylus

Summary: I switched recently from a Nokia to this Palm product and was swayed by the technology features. In some ways I regret the switch because although I am impressed by the technology, this new smartphone is not necessarily intuitive or the easiest product to learn or to use. I am sure that over time I will master the device, but it certainly does test one's patience. The battery life also is not very impressive as the e-mail updates seem to drain the battery fairly quickly

My Treo Experiences

Overall Rating:
3.5 out of 5
By: J M on Monday, March 12, 2007
From: San Angelo, TX (United States)
Experience: 2 Months
Pros: Today Menu, Included Programs, Speedy

Cons: Size, Keyboard, Touch Screen

Summary: I have had this phone since the beginning of the year. The screen is nice but feels crampted. They keyboard is ok but sometimes it doesn't register a click and it is not the best out there. The reception is just average. The speakerphone is a bit too quiet. Internet on the phone is a good for light browsing/checking e-mail, but not good for anything serious. The media player is just ok but feels too bloated. The camera is simply average.
