This phone ... is amazing. I've dropped it at least 10 times (battery fell off, stylus fell off) and it still works. Freezes up sometimes, but I just take out the battery. Bam, fixed. Has lots of features. Works with Palm Desktop, which runs on my XP Home 512MB RAM and 2.2GHz single core computer. However, I upgraded to Vista 64-bit and the 700p isn't USB compatible with Vista 64 so you'll need bluetooth sync.This phone's got lots of stuff: calendar, to do list, all via Palm Desktop (free download). Alarm or vibrate. I don't have Sprint so I can't access the internet (no wifi is the only downside to this phone) or make calls. What else ... there's a system lock out setting (password required with message screen where you can put your contact information in case the phone gets lost). Touchpad works, no probs so far, keyboard works fine, you can customize the buttons on the phone to open whatever app you want, volume controls are on side, with a side button to mute my music if someone walks into my room. OH. Dropped it lots of time right? Now, the speaker doesn't work, but headphones (2.5mm) still works. There's a switch on the top that you can use to switch to vibrate if you don't want to look stupid taking out your phone during church or something. SD card works fine. You can copy, move apps and files from card to phone if needed.Doesn't show up on computer as an external hard drive so you can't mess around with the firmware. So ...3 bad things, but had this for about a year, bought it used, dropped it 10 times or so, still works. Calendar works beautifully (best program from what I've seen, with color coding, priorities, categories; only prob is that it's .dba, which isn't compatible with other programs, I don't think). Bad part # 4: camera has no flash (max resolution is like 800x1024 or something; good for desktop wallpapers).Bad # 5: That antennae sticks out (but I don't use it as a phone so wouldn't matter).Other than that, this thing's loaded. Gets the job done. Listen to music on it sometimes (doesn't compare with MP3 player like your iPod though), take notes during meetings (QWERTY keyboard/memopad), set with Palm Desktop's calendar, alarms goes off, loud and noticeable (sorry roommates), and yeah, pretty awesome.One more point: I think Windows Mobile has more apps, though ... since Palm OS is a bit outdated.
This phone is horrible. It freezes up all the time. It also randomly resets itself. For like 3 days there was no sound coming from any of the speakers. I am on my second one and i have it through sprint. The menus are also confusing. The only good thing is the internet is really fast. I will be upgrading this phone very soon. This is the phone from hell. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED...DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!
My treo 700p is such a piece of crap. It randomly freezes, cuts off calls, resets, etc. I am replacing it at Verizon today and I hope not to get any grief. I certainly do not want it replaced just destroyed. At one point didn't palm os have a good reputation. If someone from Palm is reading this, fix your phones or go out of business.
