 I love this phone! July 19, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've been using a Treo 700w for 6 months now and I love it... My time management has improved significantly because of it and I'm able to view and edit my Microsoft Office documents on the run! In addition I like its great email support features.. I have multiple accounts that I need to use and the Treo makes it very convenient for me to deal with all of those.

I would give this phone 5 stars if not for the disappointing internet access. I really don't have any major complaints outside of that. The screen is large and easy to navigate through, the text messaging is the best I've seen, and the "good" messaging email system is wonderful and simple to attach to your PC email. Really the only draw back is some of the internet sites require additional downloads to view, and navigation can be cumbersome at times. Just checking the weather channel can get a little annoying to search through and sometimes you lose patience and give up.
Overall I don't know what all the gripes are about. I always have a near full signal even indoors, and have never missed/dropped a call. I've owned this phone for three months and haven't had any of these major glitches that people are belly-aching about. If you've ever used a palm pilot before you will be perfectly comfortable with the Treo. The calendar is identical to that system and very easy to use. There are also a fairly wide range of ring tones available and the keyboard is pretty simple to use.
I really don't know what's not to love about this thing, unless you're looking for a PC that you can carry around in your pocket, you won't be disappointed.
 Good Intentions with Unstable OS May 30, 2007

I've had this phone since December 2006. My husband got this for me because of its capability to synchronize wirelessly with our Outlook server. I would not buy this version of the phone, if you intend to use the phone heavily. It's so unstable. I can get by because I'm in the office most of the time with my desktop and office phone.
Here are 3 things that annoy me the most about the phone:
- I have to reboot the phone 2-3 times a week on average because it would just freeze. Sometimes it comes in clusters where I'm rebooting 3 times a day! It almost always happens when I need to make back-to-back calls and/or when I happen to place a call at the same time it tries to synch with the server. I don't want to have to wait 15 seconds between the calls.
- I haven't figured out how to silence the phone, if I don't want to pick it up at the moment. Even when press the button intended for this purpose, it takes a while (8 seconds) for the phone to be silenced.

The Palm Operating system is great. I used it for years. While I could open adobe files transferred to my old palm, I could not open pdf's attached to emails that I received on my palm.
It was rumored that the Treo 750W running windows solved that problem. But, how well could I expect palm hardward, on a verizon network to work with window's software? I was pleasantly surprised. The Windows software lets me do everything I could with my palm, plus more.
If you don't need to read pdf's emailed to you, and you love the palm OS, I would recommend the Treo 750p.
I am very happy with this product.
And it was true. The windows software for the treo 750
 Terrible phone! May 4, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've been a Palm user for years. When the smartphones came out a few years ago, I was excited to combine two items into one. At first I had the 650p, which was great. Unfortunately, I cracked the screen (my fault) and Verizon replaced it with the 700w, as the 650p was no longer being manufactured.
Ugh, what a nightmare. I would give anything to have the 650p back! The biggest mistake Palm ever had was putting Windows in their devices. As others have said, the 700w regularly crashes, won't pick up calls, won't even RING when you're getting a call in some cases, and has lousy signal strength. My husband's cheapie phone gets a perfect signal when my Treo only has one bar (we both have Verizon). And as another reviewer said, there's that weird thing with not being able to properly use call waiting.
I am now on my THIRD replacement, and this one just crapped out on me. Rather than send me a fourth Treo, Verizon is now sending me a XV-6700. We'll see if that's any better.
