Notes:
1. I love the idea of vibrate first and then sound. I've had phones that
would do that.
2. The prompting to add a number to the phonebook I already have on the
650, but maybe that's KeyContacts. I've never used anything else on the
650.
3. My 650 tells me how long a call is when I hang up. Maybe that's
KeyContacts too. Not sure, but I have that.
4. Good idea to reinstall apps carefully, and only the latest versions.
TV sounds interesting, but, like the Tablet PC functions I thought I'd use
on my ThinkPad X41 Tablet (now replaced by an amazing x60s), I have a
feeling that I just wouldn't end up using it except as a novelty.
Please continue reporting. My credit card is fairly spinning my wallet, but
I'll keep it under control until the unlocked gsm version comes out in --
yikes? -- December.
Cheers,
Don

Subject: RE: [Treo] 700P First Impressions (was 4 GB card in Treo 650)
Ok,
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!
