Palm - Treo 700p Cell Phone Reviews

I have had many cell phones throughout the years.  I am someone who is always wanting the newest gadgets and toys when it comes to technology.  When Palm announced their Treo 700p, I had to check it out. Purchasing the Treo 700p was the best purchase that I made.  I has made my managing my life so much easier.  I don't know how I got by without it in my daily life. 

The Treo 700p has so many great features that I use including the following:

• The calendar feature  daily to keep track of my appointments and everything important. 
• The internet feature has come in very handy when I am trying to...

I've had my Treo 700P for over a year and am very happy with it.  I did by a larger after market battery (2400 mah as opposed to the 1800 Mah that it comes with) and have extremely good battery life for surfing the web as well as talk time.

 After a stint of using a Windows based mobile device, it was a relief to come back to the effeciency of the Palm operating system.  Granted, it cannot multitask, but it is far less of a resource hog and more intuitive to use. 

Features that I appreciate include a standard SD card slot that can accomodate up to an 8Gb Sd card (assuming you did the ROM update),...

The 700p: All the right features (almost)

The 700p is identical to the 700w except for the operating system and a few other features. I had experience with other Palm operating systems before purchasing this phone, so I went with the Palm operating system (which comes with the 700p). I should have researched the phones in more detail, however, because the 700p has some differences. With the 700w and Windows operating system the phone can utilize WiFi with a special SD card. The 700p, unfortunately, doesn't have this option for some reason. I would have looked at other phones if I knew the WiFi...

If you like the convenience, speed typing your text, take pictures, record the most special moments of your life and your friends and family, this is a good choice.
A device full of useful applications in days days, much more than a simple phone.

Internet access wherever you are, the ability to download music, games, ringtones and updates for the device.

I purchased the Palm Treo 700p phone several months ago to help keep my personal life more organized. I have been working on my MBA, and along with personal and work appointments, it could be difficult to keep everything organized. With the Palm 700p phone I had the ability to check my email on the go, surf the web, though admittedly a more "mobilized" version, and sync my iCal, Address Book, and even picture and other data from my Mac laptop. I have even used the "Documents to Go" feature to take study materials with me to work so I can study on breaks.

Though it is possible to sync with the...

   Overall this phone is great. I upgraded from the Treo 650 which I loved except for the phone had an issue where it would lock up either during a text message or while receiving a call. This happened to me several times and I had to take it back to Sprint and exchange it for a new phone.

    My hope was with the upgrade to the 700 that this problem would have been resolved. Much to my dismay the problem still exists. I have not had as many problems with my 700 freezing up and when it has happened so far I have been able to just remove the battery and then put it back on and restart the phone....

We use our phones for just about everything.

My husband and I were on our way to a wedding reception and got lost. He pulled out his phone and looked up driving direction on google. The keypad is placed like a computers so it made typing super easy.

We live in the middle of nowhere and with our old phones we couldnt get any reception but this one does great! when my young kids got bored while camping I was even able to let them watch the disney channel on my phone.

The only negative thing I really have to say is that sometimes you have to tilt the screen funny to see whats on there

Oh and by the way...

I love my Palm 700P.  I wanted a phone that would also replace my bulky Palm pilot.  This does the trick and makes staying organized and on time easy.  My only disappointment is the fact that I can not use it in hot spots as the Verizon Wireless salesman told me.  I do not use the data plan enough to spend $45.00 a month on it.  I just wanted it for occassional email and browsing while enjoying my coffee or lunch.  Once I commited to the phone and fell in love with the rest of its features, I figured out this isn't possible and Verizon has a lock on using any other network than their own. ...
