 Fast EVDO and great features, but problems with synchronization using ActiveSync January 26, 2006
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
This phone has great features, however the deal killer for me is that ActiveSync synchronization does not work with the provided USB cable, and with IR and Bluetooth using a "safelisted" Belkin USB Bluetooth adapter.
I'm running Win XP SP2, and per the Device Manager yellow exclaimation point, Windows does not recognize the provided USB cable. Even after shutting down all firewalls, Palm support was unable to explain this problem too.
If Outlook contact and email synchronization is important to you, perform a Google search for "Treo 700w ActiveSync problems" and you will find lots of people having the problems I'm describing.
If you've found a solution to the ActiveSync problem, please write a review!
If you've bought the 700w and are having the same sync issues, you can contact Palm customer support at 1-866-697-7256, or Verizon by dialing 611 on your phone, perhaps they can help, however after spending 6 hours trying everything under the sun to get synchonization to work, even this serious tech guy and Palm tech support cannot get the sync issue resolved.
Also remember that Verizon has a 15 day return policy for new phones! Looks like I'll be returning mine...
 Great Device but serious problems with syncronization January 25, 2006

I upgraded from the Treo 600 and let me tell you, this is a BIG upgrade. If you have the 650, it may or may not be worth it, but if you don't yet have one of these devices or have a 600, I would give it a strong recommendation.
Negatives:
1. I have installed the software on my laptop and desktop and have tried everything under the sun to successfully sync the device to no avail. There are NO customer service numbers, only internet help sessions. I have tried every single thing under the internet sessions and have still yet to successfully sync. I am currently frustrated beyond belief because I love the phone, but I can't sync all of my previous data to it. If any of you have any advice, please let me know!
2. It's the same size as the 600 and 650. It would have been nice to see a progression to a smaller device.
3. The Windows interface is different than the Palm and if you are a Palm OS lover, this device is not for you.
Postives-
1. I actually like the Windows interface slightly better.
2. The ability to sync Word and Excel is huge.
3. The almost broadband internet access is the real deal. It's not quite that fast, but pretty darn fast for checking web based email on the go or looking something up real quick.
4. The sound on of the person you are talking to is much better than the 600 and probably equivalent to the 650 from what I hear.
5. The camera is a nice 1.3 megapixel and takes decent pictures, but has no flash or zoom. The pictures are pretty good for a phone, however.
6. The TODAY screen is nice and the ability to have your speed dials with their picture on that screen is a nice touch.
Overall, this phone would get a 4/5 if I were able to get it to sync easily. The fact that I have probably spent 12 hours of effort is exhausting, disappointing and completely frustrating because I still have no solution in sight. If, however, you are able to get accomplish this task with ease, have a 600 or are looking at this vs. the 650, I would say go for it. The interface is user friendly, pleasant and refined. This phone will do it all for you...and then some.
 EVDO IS AMAZING January 25, 2006

I played with this phone for aorund 30 minutes in the Verizon store and I was deeply impressed!
I'll list my impressions in order below ---
1. EVDO --- believe the hype on EVDO!!! The first thing I did was open up Internet Explorer, and I navigated to some of the most difficult sites out there (friendster.com, etc) --- I was deeply impressed with how well the phone's browser handled all content, but even more impressed by how quick it downloaded! I would say the speed was definitely at a broadband speed
2. STARTUP SCREEN --- I'm coming off of using the Treo 600 and 650 --- one thing I love about both is that you can turn the phone on, click a letter on the keyboard, and go straight to the contact --- no problems here with WM - the phone quickly goes straight to your contact list upon touching a letter, and from there, its easy to place the call
3. TASK SCREEN --- in addition to the Startup Screen, the 700 has a much better task screen, showing you your new emails received, new calendar events, and any missed calls --- it looks a little cluttered at first, but getting use to it is easy
4. MS OFFICE --- MS Word and Excel both worked excellently on this phone, as I played around with both --- Powerpoint was also there, but I didn't have as much time to check that out, but it looked very stable
and of course, volume, etc was all very good
The 700 is an excellent upgrade, mostly because it provides you with VERY HIGH SPEED internet access, as well as more useful applications (Word, Excel) that truly start to turn this phone into a laptop replacement
I was hesitant at first, about WM on a Treo, but judging by what I'm seeing, I think this is the start of a great move for Palm
HASANDADDY LOVES YOU ALL!!!!!
