Have 20 of them deployed here, they love em.  Pretty stable.  I
personally left it for the newer phones, but I once used it to, and
loved it.

Hotsyncing is no longer because everything thing is OverTheAir these
days, or should be.  

Idea: Homebrew hotsync:
The Pre does have Disk Mode, where it just mounts as a USB drives.  You
could set up a SyncBack program that detects the Pre's connection, and
then sync what you need to out/in the file structure of the device.

Subject: Palm Treo 755p?

Is anyone here using a Palm Treo 755p?  I have to replace my failing
phone and since my Palm TX is on its last legs, maybe it's time to move
to a smartphone. 

I use and am dependent on several PalmOS programs which sync with their
desktop versions, and the Classic emulator for the Palm Pre does NOT
provide HotSyncing.  That means the Palm Pre is out until HotSyncing is
fixed, or until WebOS versions of my apps appear (which doesn't appear
likely in the next 6 months, according to the publishers of the
programs).  The Palm Centro is the only other possibility but I haven't
heard anything positive about it.

My work takes me into small towns where AT&T and T-Mobile coverage isn't
available, so I have to stay with CDMA.  I'm currently on Sprint but I
could move to Verizon, except the only PalmOS device they have is the
Palm Centro.

TIA for any feedback.

I suppose I could consider a different CDMA smartphone as long as it had
a time-and-billing app like Responsive Time Logger, a database like
HandBase, and a calendar like Pimlico Software's DateBk6.  Ideas welcome
there, too.
