I had a 650 for years. It worked great until I left it on the cabin counter while sailing in the rain and high winds and it ended up in a puddle.
Upgraded to the 755p. Even better!! It is a great phone/device. It has full autosyncs of email, calendar and contacts with my work Exchange server. Came with a good IM client and separate email client for yahoo and gmail. Also comes with pocketunes for mp3's. I have added several third party apps such as docs2go for handling windoze docs, iSiloX as an offline web reader and ebook reader (go to www.memoware.com and download some lovecraft for late night reading) and pssh which lets me log in to our servers at work and actually write code! (I'm a software guy). Finally I can run pdanet and use the treo as a modem for my laptop and get some pretty good throughput while on the road/boat. Frankly I am fat and happy and not feeling particularly inclined to start trying to ramp up on a different platform. The funny thing is that anyone who is browsing the group to decide on a phone and sees your message will likely end up reading the replies which extol the virtues of the treo. :) I do look forward to the potential release of a fully preemptive multitasking PalmOS based on the linux kernel. If Android can actually get to production before that happens, that would then be some serious competition. -Harry PS. For what its worth, I agree with the moderators. Those posts were not so much 'critiquing' (sp?) the treo as they were simply advocating the crackberry. Its as if this were a mailing list for a particular sports team. You can gripe about the players, or the coaches or the owners all you want. But no one wants to hear some guy jump on and start talking about how much better his favorite team is. --- In [email protected], "Jomo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Why? > > It is a Treo issue > > In my experience, each and everyone of them has been lacking someway or > another - and what's more, I have parted up with a lot of money to suffer > their CRAP! > > My advice to anyone visiting this site to gather information as to whether > to buy a Palm phone. > > DON'T! > > The phones are CRAP and the company is CRAP, and their after service is > CRAP! > > Echoing Roger and wishing them a speedy demise > > The truth needs to be told! > > Jomo (off out but happy to continued this thread later) unless I am > moderated LOL > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alli > Sent: 07 June 2008 15:50 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Treo] Treo Yahoo Group > > Since this is the Treo Yahoo group, can we please get back to Treo issues > and stop discussing, iPhones, Blackberries, and any non Treo device/issue? > > I know there are plenty of other groups out there for these other topics. > And in the meanwhile, please feel free to continue any non Treo discussion > off list if someone has questions about a non Treo issue. > > Thanks! > > -- > Alli > ASCII to ASCII, DOS to DOS. >
