 Bluetooth Sucks on all Treos! June 20, 2008
I've had this thing for 2 years now, and a company full of coworkers that have them as well. Their experiences are similar to mine.
PROs:
--Love the form factor
--Keyboard immediately accesible, no folding/sliding parts to break.
CONs:
--They stunted this phone by putting very little memory in it. It will hang the phone if you try to use too many applications (like 2 or 3!)
--Its big, as a result I have a second personal phone that fits in my pocket when I'm not working. Expensive inconvenience.
--Worst of all, Bluetooth sucks big time. It disconnects for no reason, and often just before I'm about to make or take a call. Out of the blue I'll hear my headset go 'DOO doo' meaning the link went down. Trying to get it to link back up is a major chore, especially while driving.. Bluetooth headsets are supposed to make driving SAFER.. not here.
Anyway I've tried numerous headsets; Plantronics 510, Plantronics 665, Moto HS-something, and a generic, they all stink to various degrees with this Treo. The 510 is the most dependable (works 60% of the time and has good call quality). The 665 stays connected more frequently, but this high-end headset sounds like crap on the Treo. The Moto HS-something was pretty bad connectivity-wise, and the generic headset didn't like the phone either.
ALL of these headsets STAY CONNECTED when used with my personal phone, a Motorola SLVR 7. The sound quality ranges from acceptable to excellent for all my headsets on the other phone.. they only suck when used with the TREO. So both connectivity and sound quality can suffer with the Treo.
Note: Once I discovered an online community of fellow Treo-Bluetooth sufferers, I searched endlessly for hacks or updates to this problem. when Palm released an update last year that was supposed to help BT it made only the tiniest improvement. I still hate BT on this thing.
I'm upset with Palm for not fixing this problem on such an expensive phone.. rather ALL of their phones, as all Palm models reportedly have this problem.
That aside, it does work with my corporate email and I can actually make telephone calls with it, which is why I've managed to keep this thing for 2 years. I'm glad the 2 yr contract is over so I can replace it..
 Palm 700w worst phone ever March 10, 2008

I think you would be better off with the 700p this phone is terrible.
The only feature I have found to work it the sych to outlook.
Other than that not much.
Look for another phone.
Does NOT WORK with Vista 64bit February 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a Treo 650. I just bought a new laptop that came with Vista 64bit. Little did I know that NO PalmOne product is compatible with Vista 64bit and they (by the words of one of their customer reps today)are not working on a fix. Now I'm going to have to buy a new phone if I want to be able to sync. More and more new systems are shipping with Vista 64bit and many people are caught unaware of this fact. Please know if you buy this phone, it will not work with Vista 64bit as of the date of this review.
Great Conception, Poor Implementation December 18, 2007

This phone is just a bad product. It's really too bad too as it's one of the better form factors out there for smart phones.
The phone locks up on me about twice per week. I have to remove the battery and put it back in so the phone does a hard restart to get it working again. I have installed no third party software to cause this problem.
It's nearly impossible to pull this phone out of a holster without hitting one of the side buttons.
The keys stick out too far. I'll remove it from its holder just to realize that while I've been carrying it around I've managed to hit the letter "P" about a hundred times.
The 240x240 resolution on the screen precludes this device from every being able to be upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.0. Windows Mobile 6.0 requires 320x240 resolution at a minimum.
Hopefully Palm gets it right with the Treo 800 when it's released. Otherwise, I'll be looking into getting a next generation Motorola Q.
Treo 700 wx sucks December 6, 2007

This boat anchor has critical memory error problems that are not resolvable by local Verizon technicians. It dumps files, locks up necessitating soft rebooting, and has one redeeming feature-it is heavy enough to provide an aerobic workout if you carry it throughout your day. Buyer beware!
