I used to have a Treo 650 that I got from my friend about a year and half ago. But it broke after 6 month. Actually the battery just stopped charging. No one could fix it and Palm said it would cost me $250, which I could buy a new phone for less than that.
I recently changed my phone again and bought the new (not so new anymore) Treo 700P. I’ve owned this one for couple months now and love it. Here are some cons and pros of the cellphone:
Pros:
- The applications. They are great. I use the Word and Excel applications on a daily basis. I love the world clock and can’t live without the notes, tasks, and calendar applications.
- The full keyboard. A lot of phone nowadays have all the above applications, but without the full keyboard I would never use any of them. The keyboard makes texting much easier too.
- The camera. I really rarely use it, but its a great feature.
- The external memory card. I use it to transfer files and download them through the blue tooth to my laptop.
- Records Audio. You can record audio and since it takes an external hard drive, you can record very long interviews.
- Touch Screen. I tried couple other phone that didn’t have touch screen and frankly once you use a touch screen phone (like the Treo 700P or 700W) you would never go to one that doesn’t have touch screen.
- Call Logs Saved forever. You can check your call logs from 5 month ago, and even before. This is great if you get a lot of calls from people you don’t know (business) and forget to save them or be able to dial that Pizza place you called last week.
- Web Access. You can’t forget this one.
- GPS and Map. You can add a simple application to it and a simple device to your car (for about $250) and turn the Treo 700 to a GPS device.
Cons:
- No Wifi. This is my biggest problem with Treo 700. It doesn’t have wifi. In today’s market every phone should have wifi (IMO).
- Large and Heavy. Treo 700 is rather thick and heavy comparing to other phones.
