Don, I use the Javo Edge cable and connnect my lap to the internet via the Palm when I'm not at home. In fact, I only use the Javo Edge at all times, since it has a hot sync function and is retractable..simple all the way around. Slow service isn't a problem on my 700P with EVDO..it's very quick. I have high speed at home, of course, and know how much slower you can get (650). I barely notice the difference between my high speed and Treo 700p pushing it. Sprint charges $15 (I think that's correct...no more) for my power vision service. I don't use their text (why type when I can talk:). ^i^ Dianna

Don's initial journey with Sprint and the 755p Hi Dianna, Interesting perspective! I'm finding similar circumstances. It does always depend on where you are and where you go. The 755p may have a better cellular radio than the 700p, which appears to have a better one than the 650. That's the kind of thing they don't publish in the specs!! You reminded me of one thing: the first Sprint advanced tech support guy I talked to cautioned me that using Bluetooth to connect my laptop to the Treo for further connection to the internet is MUCH slower than using a cable. Does anyone have any stats/experience that bear this out? I carry the retractable Seidio Hotsync/charge cable, but haven't tried PAM (Phone as Modem) over the cable. Not sure even how to do that, unless I buy PDANet, which I'm not sure I want to buy. With Verizon, the VZ Access Manager could manage a cable connection. Does Sprint provide something similar? FYI, I haven't even opened the box on the 755 beyond what was necessary to get the Treo and battery out. Still testing, but pretty fully functional since hosted Exchange provides Versamail with email, contacts and calendar, so I can use the 755p in parallel with the 700p without having to have both "installed" Cheers, Don -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dianna Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 9:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Treo] Funny you should mention Sprint . . . Don's initial journey with Sprint and the 755p We spend a lot of time in the middle of nowhere in the summer... and have a lot of visitors at times. Sprint is the only guaranteed service. Everyone asks to borrow my phone..they can't get coverage.. t-mobile....Verizon, Cingular...etc I surf with my 700p via pdanet whenever I want, inside or out of the house. ^i^ -------Original Message------- From: Don Ferguson Date: 6/6/2007 10:15:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Treo] Funny you should mention Sprint . . . Don's initial journey with Sprint and the 755p Yeah, you could have knocked me over with a feather! Who knew? Now, I'm not saying Sprint has better coverage than Verizon everywhere, but in and around where I live and work (northwest of Denver), so far Sprint's coverage seems to be better. This is particularly true inside my house, where the most I ever get is two to three bars (usually bouncing between those two), and Sprint has a full strength signal. According to the coverage maps (and we'll just have to see), in a small town in Vermont where my daughter spends several weeks each summer there is a big hold in Verizon's coverage that Sprint covers with "Additional voice coverage area" which, I'm told, means that if one has a newer phone (last 2-3 years) one gets coverage. Verizon - nothing. Funny old world, eh? Who knew?
