Do not buy this product. Bluetooth does not work, it will drive you crazy. Every time the phone looses cell signal, it turns the bluetooth connection off and when it does this it locks up and you must reset the phone to get it to work again. Since I live in a rural area, I have to reset the phone several times a day, and of course, whenever you reset it you have to listen to 15 minutes of calendar appointments and alarms. Do not buy this phone it you plan to use bluetooth, it will drive you crazy. And by the way, Palm does not seem to actually support their products so you're out of luck if you expect them to fix it. Don't take my word for it, do a Google for "Treo bluetooth problems". Submitted by: Tim Owens Email: tim@wecominc.com Location: Kingman, AZ Date Added: 2008-09-27

TREO 700W SUCKS @SS this phone sucks i am on my 4th replacement and it doesn't even have enough memory to run a few programs at once. Do not buy this phone, it is a big waste of money but if you do end up getting it be prepared to performs soft resets on it as often as you make phone calls Submitted by: Kurt Date Added: 2007-12-01

reason why treo 700 is better (for me) We have an MSDOS based program that we need to run on a handheld device. At this point, we have found a DOS emulator from PocketDOS.com but it only runs on a Pocket PC platform. So the Palm OS is not as flexible a platform as the new WM5 OS and not worth saving the extra $100.. Submitted by: steve Email: steve@gemtrak.com Location: LaGrangeville, NY Date Added: 2006-04-28

A Step Up! I find that the Windows Mobile 5.0 OS on the Treo 700w is much more user friendly than a Palm OS. Menu's are much easier to access and sync's are much quicker than My old Tungsten E. Submitted by: Dave Email: dncgeorge@hotmail.com Location: Rock Springs WY. Date Added: 2006-02-22

Flawed Purchased from Verizon. Really, really nice phone. It is easy to use and has more functionality than the 650. However, upon syncing to the computer, developed an issue where it would freeze randomly, about 3 - 4 times a day. Tried three phones before giving up. Will be nice when they work out the kinks.

An Unsung True Upgrade I was talked into the Treo 650 by Verizon, price and some reviews. I was told that the h/w differences weren't that much and that the new OS was harder to use and not as functional. Also, I have an app that doesn't support the Windows Mobile OS yet, so I thought I'd try the650, keeping an open mind. I just couldn't do it. After trying it for a week, I ended trading it in to try the 700w. Why? The more I looked, the more upgrade I saw: twice the camera, faster processor, 4 times the memory, at least 5 times faster Internet speeds, a wifi card compatible memory slot that's provides 10 times the network speeds than the wifi "shell for the 650 and last but definately not least the MS Mobile 5 OS. Sheewww! The OS on the two systems are huge, which is never mentioned in the reviews I've read. We all know how flat the Palm OS is, which can be fine if you're just doing some contact management, calendaring and apps. However, could you imagine using the palm OS on your laptop or your PC??? Well, PDA's have come a long way people! The new OS provides true depth and OS usability that the Palm OS just doesn't have. App navigation is great, allowing you to run several apps "deep" while being able to back out one at a time or going straight to the "Today" start menu to start something else. The media player, Office Mobile apps, address book search capabilities, Today screen interface, access to system configuration and resources, built-in wifi config, media player and management, to name just a few, are all aspects of the 700w's OS that are head and shoulder's above the Palm's loved, but different OS. Please keep in mind, I think the 650 is a great smart phone, just like I thought Windows 3.1, 95 and 98 were great operating systems at the time. However, with time comes innovation and the 700w is like upgrading to XP (to continue the analogy). If given the choice of your current system and going back to Windows 98, which would you choose? There's so much more to say, but I've talked long enough as it is. I have the 700w and am head over heels, ectatically in love!
