There is no way you can keep a call active through a soft reset. Just physically (mechanically) impossible. If all she's doing is talking on the phone and adding an appt to the calendar, there shouldn't be any crash and no 3rd party app is going to make a difference with that. You might almost be better running Pimlico's new dbFixit app and check the integrity of your calendar and contact databases.
As far as upgrading to a 755 (if Verizon ever gets them), it really depends on whether or not you have invested a lot into sd storage since the 650 takes standard and the 755 takes mini. Beyond that there is very little internal difference between the 700 and the 755 - the major differences are all cosmetic. jpfierro wrote: > I read the digest version of this list. > I want to thank you all for sharing your tips and opinins about all > things Treo related. > How we use our Treos: My wife is a doctor, every night I beam her > schedule (from Jan 1, 2006 to the end of current month) to my Treo. > Then I sync my Treo to my computer, print out this weeks schedule, > and plug the appointments into an Excel spreadsheet. > My wife has a 700p Verizon, and I have a 650p Verizon. > > Question 1: > If my 650p stops working, and I stay with Verizon, would you > recommend I get the 700p, or go with the 755p-assuming Verizon sells > them, I have not investigated that yet. > Our Treos are stock as a rock - the only extra programs we have on > them is mSafe, and something called NutriCount, a calorie counting > program.
