Does anyone have the Palm Treo 700WX?

Question

I just bought this phone it is currently being shipped. Just wondering if I made a good choice. Let me know the pros and cons if you have one or know someone who does!

Answer 1

It's a good phone but the 755 is the updated version. The 700wx is almost two years old and not as glitch-free as the 755. It's a heavy device and the camera is pretty low quality. You may need to use the metal stylus for more detailed input that can't be done from the keyboard. I can do most of the commands using my fingers because I've got tiny hands but I'm more comfortable using the stylus for going through the options and customizing the settings. Call quality is fine, no better or worse than any other phone, as far as I can tell. Be patient with the operating system, Windows Mobile can get a bit laggy after a while. Make sure you close applications often as that is the largest culprit of lag on most of the Treo devices. Empty your cache (clean out the memory) every so often. Try doing a Google search for people with Treos who offer their specific insight on how to maintain a frustration-free device. Best of luck. If you decide the Treo isn't working out, don't hesitate to explore the BlackBerry line. They are wonderful phones for adults.
