Questions about the 8700

Bumper

I presently have the Treo 650 Cingular and everything is fine with it except the VOLUME. Driving at 75 MPH the road noise is louder than the ring volume. If the radio or AC is on, you can't hear a caller. I was thinking of switching to the 8700 on Cingular.
Questions:
How is the volume on the earpiece, speakerphone, and bluetooth headset (different phones will have different volumes on the same headset) in noisy conditions?
Call sound quality (both ways)?
Ringer volume?
Will the 8700 play videos, games?
Signal strength?
How is navigation of the phone book, stored files, etc compare to the Treo?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The sound quality on the 8700c is much better than that of the Treo 650. I used the Treo 650 prior to this and had to purchase that application volume care to be able to hear what was going on whether in quiet or noisy situations.

I have used the speakerphone in my car with the radio on and could hear the caller and the caller could hear me with no problem.

When using the handset, I can hear and there's no static or background noise. It is a very clear call.

I use my bluetooth headset, which is a Motorola HS 810 and I have no problem hearing callers on that either. The Treo 650 was not a phone for using bluetooth headsets. The call quality wasn't good no matter which bluetooth headset I tried and I tried Jabra and Plantronics ...

I had the 8700 for a few months, and did a switch out with the treo 650 because it keept re-booting at random. But the sound is way way better on the 8700.

I JUST GOT THE 8700 AND IF YOU HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN OPEN SOME ATTACHED PICTURES AND SOME I CANNOT?? THAT GOES FOR ATTACHMENTS AS WELL??
