But the rep was right, or at least I think he was. Do you know if you get an EVDO signal? Isn't there an icon that tells you if your signal is EVDO? I can't remember right now as I switched to a 700wx several months ago, but in any case, after I "upgraded" to the new Sprint firmware version, my connectivity got increasingly erratic. I could no longer use Chatter in push mode, and even turning it to pull mode I continued to have problems with the phone hanging and rebooting way more than it did before the update. That's actually what caused me to switch to the 700wx, which I've had no problems with since. I suppose I could have switched to a 755p at the time, but I chose to use the opportunity to try something new (WM) and it worked out. In any case, I'm guessing it has to do with the update. I had them troubleshoot my connectivity issues ad infinitum and finally after getting a refurb from Palm with the same firmware and experiencing the exact same issues, I determined it was the firmware. My recommendation would be to sell the phone and by a 755p or a Centro if you want to stick with the PalmOS, since these newer phones don't seem to have the same issue...
