The Palm OS version is much better, but I did somewhat like using this version as well. I’m giving this phone 4 stars because of the network it is running on, but the phone itself is not the best. Palm ALWAYS comes out with a phone with limited memory, then comes out with a minor update later with a little bit more RAM. There is far cheaper phones with more memory out there, which is sad, seeing as Treo’s are very high priced. Palm came out with the Treo 600, then came out with the Treo 650 with a better screen and a but more memory. Now there is talk of a Treo 750, with the same type of upgrades. This has caused me to totally give up on Treo’s. For Palm to milk us customer over and over again, with small upgrades, shows no respect. Palm also outsources their customer care, so good luck in getting help. The ONLY perk is Sprint only charges $15 dollars a month for PDA access. Which is far less then the $30, $40, and $50 that T-Mobile, Verizon and Cingular charge for the same type of access.
If you want a PDA, go with the Q or PPC. Unless you like wasting your money on a phone, just so the company can come out with a phone with a few upgrades later on. I respect Palm because they are an American company, but I will never buy anything from them again. Which is a complete 180 from my stance just a few years ago.

It doesn’t matter how many bells and whistles come on a particular phone – it’s only as good as the carrier. With Sprint, you will be headed for disappointment and frustration. Customer service, when you can actually get through to them, is incompetent. Prepare to have hours of your time stolen from you when you deal with a billing problem with Sprint. After switching credit cards, I’ve spent days trying to give them the new number to bill to, with no luck. I’ve had charges for services I never ordered nor authorized appear on my bill, and then spent literally hours of time e-mailing, trying to access their website and calling, with no resolution. Find a phone and a plan you can like with another carrier.

Treo can do anything. Anything, period. There’s nothing that I can’t get, as long as I’m willing to pay through the nose to get it.
Live TV, (Daily Show, et al.) Sirius Music, email, youtube, whatever you can imagine.
BUT SPRINT IS TERRIBLE
True, they offer the Live TV and Sirius which I couldn’t live without now that I’m spoiled.
But do not call Sprint and expect to be sane afterwards. I can understand busy times and what not, but for the last couple months it seems as though they have cut their workforce in half and doing business with them is intolerable.
INTOLERABLE

Just switched phones from the Pocket PC 6700 to the Treo 700wx and I definitely like this better. The only down side of it are the following (which may or may not be important):
1. It is not as bulky as the PPC6700
2. There are no buttons to make a smiley face or a forward slash (/) button to place it on a webpage.
3. YOU CANNOT text others who are on T-Mobile BUT they can text you! This is a nightmare but I am living with it!
But all in all, it feels way better than the PPC 6700, it is a little more compact and is more advanced as far as speed and precision.

I’ve had good luck with Palm products in the past, but this is a huge disappointment. I have had problems with every aspect of this phone/PDA.
I’ve had it for 3 months and it still won’t sync reliably with my computer. The internet (Verizon) was unreliable and the phone would never work as a modem. I have spent many hours with tech support from Palm, HP and Verizon; and as I expected they all blame the problems on the other guys. In the end this device is a bitter disappointment and I won’t be buying Palm again in the future.
