User Submitted palm Treo 700wx Smartphone (Sprint) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-07-03 Awesome phone, but Sprint is INTOLERABLE 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 Date: 2007-06-29 Miserable is an understatement I had the Treo 300, 600 and 650, all Palm-based, and loved them all. The 700wx windows version is not ready for prime time. Crashes daily, synchs sporadically, calls people at random, cuts people off on hold, drains batteries .... I could go on and on and on. I absolutely detest this phone and wished I'd listened to the Sprint tech rep in the store who tried to warn me. How about that ... Sprint continues to cell an expensive, high-end phone that its own techs know is bad. The guy seemed to have a negative attitude in general, so I din't listen. I should have. Trust me, stick with the PALM version. Date: 2007-05-16 Call Waiting Disconnects Your Call There is one huge problem with this phone. When you're on a call and a second call comes in - the sound on your first call drops! Most people think that the first call was ended. Though it appears that way, the sound goes dead both ways on your first call. I am amazed that this has not been fixed and was not disclosed when I bought the phone. Search on Treo 700wx and call waiting in a search engine. You'll find a ton of complaints about the same bug. Palm - do some better testing - this is a basic feature!!!! Date: 2007-04-30 The absolute worst phone I've ever owned This phone caused me problems from the first day I had it. Synching with my computer took eleven calls to tech support. Hooking up email support took three days and two visits to my office from the Altell account manager. Even though I have a nation-wide corporate plan, the phone would turn itself off when I traveled more than 50 miles from my office, and all emails would stop completely. The Bluetooth connection turns itself off randomly and sometimes required a soft re-boot (remove and reinstall the battery) just to allow me to reconnect. In just one month I had to do seven hard re-boots (remove the battery, hold down the power key while reinstalling the battery) just to unfreeze the phone. Last week I called Altell and demanded that they change me to a Blackberry at no charge. Now I have a brand new Blackberry 8703e which set up on my company's server in less than five minutes. It has never dropped a call or failed a Bluetooth connection. Don't waste your time with a Palm Treo; get a Blackberry instead. Date: 2007-04-24 very good phone and pda Now I am using this phone over 2 months and have following obeservations 1. Sprint internet is pretty fast and cheap too. 2. Touchscreen is great 3. I downloaded google maps and that works great on this phone. very very helpful. 4. The phone is very easy to use. making calls, accepting calls, searching contacts its all on the first screen. 5. Outlook Calendar is good. 6. The drawbacks are that its little bulky and you cannot save a new contact from a saved number. you have to write it again which can be little annoying. I have not used any other pda before so cannot make comparisons but I like this phone
