I had the Voyager but i wasn't comfortable with the battery life on that phone this phone has much better<br /><br />I also like the chat style of the texting on the phone. Feel like i was made for this phone honestly. compared to my last this is definetly the best smartphone (and only really besides 2 bb's older 7250 and old greenscreen one) That I've owned.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Pretty much everything <br /><br />Cons: Took a little hard to get used to. i was used to hitting end to exit. Now that only ends a call and goes on standby or to shut off phone functions. The homescreen button is just the home button underneath end button. It was kinda like an iPhone experience.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=976 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=33419#review33419 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=33419#review33419 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 05:06:08 GMT <p><i>casemods submitted this review of the Palm Treo 700p:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>It took a while, but I got used to the palm os. <br /><br />Be sure to update to the 1.10 software (I barely did last night)<br /><br />Signal quality is always 2-3 bars above anyone else - san jose, CA, sprint.<br /><br />Call quality is ok.<br /><br />I got this thing for $10 off of cragislist, it's a bit beat up, no cover over the ear piece, the stylus is missing, and didn't come with a charger or data cable...charger was $15 at Fry's, and I use blue-tooth to transfer and to even hotsynch. <br /><br />Found a pen at 7-11 that has an LED flashlight, a purple light, a laser pointer, a pen, and a stylus all in one which I use for the stylus now (too bad I didn't find it sooner, because the protective screen is all scratched up from using a pen)<br /><br />Pros:<br /><br /> FULL keyboard. card slot (never get a phone without one). Mp3 player, voice recorder (time is only limited to memory) Nice camera and video recorder, also only limited by memory capacity. Memos. To do list. Blue-tooth, IR port, tons of games and free applications. TOUCHSCREEN! Huge 320x320 screen, great for pictures and movies/videos.<br />Text messages has this "instant message" chat log sort of thing which I find very unique and exquisite - when you send a message, it's like your on AIM/YAHOO/xfire/steam or a chatroom - If your an avid texter, this feature alone is worth getting the phone.<br /><br />CONS:<br /> <br /> Won't/can't set mp3's as ring-tones. Most ring-tones I create don't play the full portion (most cut off at 5 seconds or so, but the vibrate still goes off). Soft resets itself a lot (mostly with blue-tooth picture sending). SD card slot is out in the open and the card could come out easily. Only one alarm, and you have to go to the "world clock" to turn it on. (unless there is another way to get an alarm). Not a simple phone to use, and unless you can take advantage of it, don't get it. Sometimes you just prefer a simple phone that only makes calls/texts. PROPRIETARY data cable - I will never get a phone without a mini USB connector (who doesn't have 5 of them laying around?)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=976 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=33250#review33250 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=33250#review33250 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 22:11:06 GMT <p><i>drwiremore submitted this review of the Palm Treo 700p:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Been a palm user since before they had phone components. Have had so many 700p's that when call verizon, they skip the analsis, and just send me a FRU (kidding about the no questions, but yes about how many I've had)<br /><br />If you love Palm (as I do) this is the best palm phone out. I like the antenna as well, because it makes it easy to get it out of the case. Having tried all of 755 and centro, still love the 700p.<br /><br />Pros:<br />- touch screen is accurate<br />- good batter life<br />- graffiti is built in, you just need to down the 3rd party app to make it work<br />- short-cuts, love the graffiti time/date<br />- mp3 player, great tunes pTunes<br />- comes with a great collection of apps, dataviz document suite is terrific<br />- screen is brilliant, good brightness control<br />- plug in headset option. With the right headset, stereo when you play music, mono into both ears for a phone call. (Great way to mute background, although maybe illegal)<br />- pretty rugged overall<br />- voice quality good; speaker-phone ok.<br />- great camera and video, use it often.<br /><br />Con:<br />- sure it may freeze, which is why you add backup buddy, and a SD card.<br />- the sd card doesn't have a cover, so occasionally you may loose it. For an expensive phone, embarrassed that I have a piece of sticky tape over the slot.<br />- no flash (would be nice)<br />- no wi-fi (not sure this is important anyway)<br /><br />Overall: best palm phone on the market. Even if discontinued (as I write this note, 3/2009) a great phone. Have tried to replace it with something else. But with the desktop, palm phone, and features. It is the best I've ever had.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=976 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=32866#review32866 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=32866#review32866 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:20:35 GMT <p><i>rockdonahue submitted this review of the Palm Treo 700p:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had Sprint replaced the phone 2x IN THE FIRST 30 DAYS.

I had insurance luckily, and got the newer version of the 650 (the 700p). I really did like this phone for the first month, but after that, i realized what was wrong with the phone. It will freeze up very frequently, especially when i am trying to text. It will never send a pix msg the first time, it takes like 5-7 tries to make the msg go through... It is a good phone, but if you have a short temper, its not the phone for you...</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=976 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=30728#review30728 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=30728#review30728 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 09:59:58 GMT <p><i>spgrogers submitted this review of the Palm Treo 700p:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Have been a palm customer for many years.

I had 4 of those in 3 weeks. I pleaded with Palm to upgrade me to the 700p. They begrudgingly obliged.<br /><br />I got the 700p. No problems until the headphone jack broke (after over 1.5 years of use). Then I had to get another one. I just got it this week (another 700p).<br /><br />I cannot get it to stop "brain farting". It locks up for no reason, the system sounds just stop working, when a call comes in I can't answer it (it displays the incoming call screen, but none of the keys answer the call), it won't hotsync at all. Currently (as I am writing this review) it won't come out of the "welcome" screen.<br /><br />I REFUSE to pay another $300 for the 755p. I will be getting a BLACKBERRY device.<br /><br />Palm - I owned a PalmPilot by USRobotics for years WITH NO PROBLEMS. I upgraded to the Palm Vx before getting the Treo. My husband told me NOT to get the Treo, but I had FAITH that your Treo was a sound investment. I gave you almost 2 years to make it right. I feel your company is ready to disappear from the market if you don't fix this thing and MAKE IT STABLE. Get your sh*t together before you go out of business.<br /><br />You are the Windows VISTA of cell phones.<br /><br />>:-P<br /><br />You have lost a former loyal customer.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=976 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=28628#review28628 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=28628#review28628 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:40:58 GMT <p><i>dcd021 submitted this review of the Palm Treo 700p:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>A yr ago i pruchased this phn and i was oh so in love with it....6mths after i bought this aweful phn it started to power on &amp; off by itself, freezing while on the internet (how 'bout that), freezing while downloading pictures to pic album (ump!!!!), and oh.....pictures &amp; screensavers received are locked and can not be saved to contacts or sent to other mobile phns (what a mess).....phn would not sync to my pc after trying a kazillion times...constantly losing email.....you knw, i could go on and on and on but the more i think about this horrible, aweful phn the more i want to throw up.....if i wasn't afraid of heights i would climb to the top of the empire state building and watch it fall and crash into pieces, cause that's all it ever did while i had it, literally!

I love the treo it is every thing you want it to be. You Just Have to get the correct software. If you have a cell plan with internet, I have sprint Its FAST! you can download most software without a computer. First get Hand Zipper Lite that way you can unzip your downloads. Now here is a list of must have free software. Mundu Speak is a Great IM and VOIP just change the background mode to logout from all IM <br />services or it will Kill you battery. Next is the Sprint Mobile Email this is the best you easily look at All of your Email accounts and send files off you SD card or phone. If you like games here are a few T-Crisis a tetris game and Arcade Reality its not free but the trial is good this game is hard to explain. Its a game that uses you camera to put aliens in your world thru your phone when you move you see targets in your house that you shoot. When you play you will see? Don't forget Google Maps its great to find a restaurant or a clients house. If you have you must know of TCPMP the mp3 and video player. Also RealOne its good for mp3 and I have Never had it lock up my phone? Here is one you must have its Mundu Radio its a free internet radio program there are 100s of stations and you can add your own from you Main account website. Now theres also Destaller Lite it helps to get rid of all those old programs. All most done theres Tryda an Directory Assistant with mapping and Reverse Query by Phone or Address a must have. Last just because there only 453 remaining caharacters left is Photos HQ its slow But it takes Great pics and its free. Here is a list of others. <br />Have Fun With Your Treo<br /><br />2cool4u looks like a iphone, Copyit, barcode/13 lets you read a barcode, IR watch for you techs out there you can check a infra-red signal, MD on Tap is a medical data base, PdaReach to help install software off you PC, pTunes for mp3s, SmbMate, WiFiTalkie a voice over IP for palm, BlueJacker, BlueSpam</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=976 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=28098#review28098 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=28098#review28098 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 15:02:00 GMT <p><i>daime1 submitted this review of the Palm Treo 700p:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>THIS IS SIMPLY THE WORST PHONE I HAVE EVER USED IN MY LIFE.

My husband and I have had about 5 replacements each since the phone was under warranty. Even though we bought our phones at different times throughout the year, the issue was the same.

Maybe I just lucked out with a decent working device this time but, all the features have been keeping me very busy. First I love that it has SDHC capability, (Now up to 16GB) I feel like I'll never run out of memory. Next with an after market 3600mAh battery I can finally go the whole day and not worry about running out of power. I use this device all day everyday, from talking on the phone, to checking email, to getting directions, to watching movies, to listening to books, to reading one of a dozen Bibles, to taking pictures and videos, to playing all sorts of games, to streaming music from the web, to watching TV, to surfing the web and I feel like I've only just scratched the surface of things I can do. I still haven't used any GPS or Printers because I can't stand Bluetooth because of the way it drains the battery. The only real problems are that the screen is too small, it is too heavy, the processor not fast enough, no built in GPS and Wi-Fi, camera needs to have higher MPixels and a light and flash. Hopefully on the next models that will happen.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=976 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=25850#review25850 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=976&r=25850#review25850 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 01:46:24 GMT <p><i>Jason.A.Berger submitted this review of the Palm Treo 700p:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I bought this phone after reading for months the reviews on this site among others. I was so utterly excited, and it was fantastic for about 3 weeks...I mean it worked like a charm. No freezing, loaded it with ring tones, used it constantly...the only downfall was the alarm clock, that wouldn't ring without the ringer...but beyond that, it was fantastic...<br />Then one day, or rather over a period of 3 days, the phone just stopped functioning...it would either allow me to text, or make calls, but not both...allow me to use the touch screen, or the joystick, but not both. I reset it literally 70 times over the course of those three days...then I took it back...<br />I can tell you, as someone more critical than most, this phone has great potential. I checked several times for firmware and software patches and upgrades, but to no avail. I used most of the business applications this phone offers, from the simple word pad to the excel spreadsheets...I used it as an organizer, and I now find myself lost.<br />I had to grade to an LG VX 8700...its a spectacular phone....but it offers nothing that the PDA did...heed my warning, as crappy as it is...unless someone knows something better, they still have plenty of bugs to work out..</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=976
