Well, I haven't gotten to play that much more with the 700P, but I thought I'd give some first impressions. In general, it seems much snappier, as if it's running a processor that's considerably more powerful (although it's the same I believe). The phone seems more solid, the buttons, in particular the side buttons, seem much more solid. It just feels like an overall much more streamlined experience. There are little improvements to the interface which I've found that, while not a major deal, still add more functionality to it. For one, you can have it first vibrate, then eventually start to ring as an option. Also, there's an option (turned on by default on my phone) that prompts you about whether you want to add the person who just called to your phone book - if their number wasn't detected in it. The keyguard has the date and time on it, so if you just want to check that, you just need to turn it on and off quickly. When you hang up, it tells you how long your call was. I played a bit with SprintTV. It was ok, but I need to do a little more reading about it because I'm not really sure what comes with the $15 Power Vision and what is extra. They prompt you for most of the channels it seems to agree to pay a fee of $3.99 or $4.99, but I heard someone asked Sprint about it and they said to just say yes, that at least the first month you won't get charged above the price of the Power Vision. But I'm a little nervous still, so want to do more research. It seems that there are some things for free, like streaming this one Serius hits station, watching Foxnews live, watching movie trailer previews, etc. It was a bit of content (tv in particular) overload for someone who has only had broadcast tv for the last 5 months! Blazer is indeed very fast, but I only tried it very briefly. That's about it. Today I was just trying to get my Tmobile number ported, which I did, but it took a little work on the phone to both carriers. I've created a list of apps that I have on my 650, and once I synch that phone for the last time, I'll reinstall the Palm software and all of these apps one by one. I want to start from scratch with the 700. So that's my next project - getting all my old apps like Chatter, Verichat, etc., redownloaded and installed on the new phone. Then I can REALLY start playing!
