Phone Keeps Freezing!
I am on my second Treo 700p from Verizon.I would love to love this phone - but it keeps freezing!As others have posted, I have the same problems - random freezing only cured by battery removal.

Unusable for business
I almost never write a review like this, but the 700P is a device that never should have been released.I am on my 4th phone in 2 months; and have spent hours/days fighting with Sprint about this device.
Profoundly disappointing and aggravating
I had a Palm way back when, and reverted to the old diary after it went down en route to a critical meeting.Four years later finds me in the same boat, again, with more expensive, more cumbersome, but still non-functional equipment.Every criticism you see below is true.This is simply not a successful product.If you are a computer geek who enjoys the journey more than the result, doubtless there's something to be gotten from re-working the same piece of information twenty times because the software has failed in one way or another.For those of us who want a tool that works, i.e., as a pencil works (you write it once, and it's there) this is a morass of annoyance.I don't know if they will ever figure out the bugs, but this is nowhere close.

A very good PDA/phone with some minor annoying defects
I love that phone. This is a highly customize and flexible device, I totally recommend it to anyone who has a busy schedule and doesn't mind a big phone.Phone function works great, although it takes some time to adjust to it's big size. I was using small flip phones prior getting Treo 650.Battery life is great, it can go easy 2-3 days without charging. Bluetooth surprisingly doesn't eat up battery. Earpiece works really well, I don't like that earpiece jack isn't standard. The display is very bright, and sharp. The camera pictures quality sucks, but who really uses phone-camera to take photos?:)Users should install the latest Palm os patch to fix up resetting, battery life, and other problems. I find it annoying that thequick-shortcut buttons are not protected by keylock.Also, there is no multilingual support available unless third-party application is installed. The PDA reset a few times on me, but have installed quite a few third party applications on it.

bad on all counts
The email doesn't work. Especially ridiculous with Gmail. The device crashes a lot and resets. The people at Cingular don't know how to fix it (although someone in the data support department admitted aloud that the 650 is NOT compatible with Gmail -- no one in the customer service or warranties department will admit it), and Cingular is perfectly willing to send you new devices to replace the "faulty" device under the manufacturer's warranty -- and with each replacement device that works as poorly as the previous one, Cingular is still unwilling to admit that the device is a problem. Unwilling to simply get you onto another device. Unwilling to admit that the phone is incapable of actually doing what it is supposed to do. As frustrated as I've ever been with a cell phone company -- I have never been as infuriated with both a provider and a manufacturer.

RUN AWAY - this product defines caveat emptor!
I do not review things, and I have an extremely high level of tolerance for product functioning.Nevertheless, I am so fed up with my palmOne Treo 650 (which I have owned for a year), that I have called Verizon today, complained to Palm, joined a class action, and reactiviated my several year-old flip phone that has water damage.Yes - my water damaged, cheap LG phone functions better than my palm treo.

Think twice about using Amazon
It would take too long to describe how bad my customer service experience has been with Amazon.Suffice to say if you have ANY problems with your order or service - count on it being YOUR problem and NOT Amazon's.There is no accountability for any problems you may have, but if you can accept that, the Treo 700w is a nice phone (with some limitations as described by the more tech savvy) - however, in my opinion NO PHONE is worth the amount of time and aggravation I have spent dealing with [...].Go directly to the wireless provider and ditch the middle man.com.

A major disappointment..clumsy, clumsy, clumsy
If you're a former Blackberry user, like me, you'll likely hate this phone.If you're a former Palm PDA user, you'll hate this as a PDA (and probably as a phone as well).My company recently switched from the Blackberry platform to Windows Mobile.For secrity reasons, the only device initially approved for use on the WM platform is the Treo 700W, so I had no choice but to go with this dog.It tries to do everything but ends up doing nothing well.My review will focus on a comparison with the Blackberry platform (I was using a 7290).
Pure Garbage!
I am a big fan of the concept of the PDA and rely heavily on technology in my business to stay in touch with the office. I had the Treo 650 and had issues with software bugs that tended to lock it up regularly (even after several replacement phones). With the release of the 700w, I thought surely the manufacturer has perfected the phone, and with a Windows platform, I can't go wrong.I WAS WRONG! In a nutshell (even after several replacement phones, hours talking to tech support, and a move to an enterprise server): Constant lock-ups, faulty syncs, and just bad-overpriced technology. Palm preys on the "techy" that wants the newest thing.10 of my colleagues are having the same experience. Verizon is not to blame - when I get a connection, the clarity is excellent. I do not ever write these reviews, but anything I can do to dissuade someone from buying this PDA is my good deed for the day. ... Read more

Get a free unlocked Motorola RAZR v3i instead!
Why settle for less, or commit yourself to a specific cellular provider and service plan, when you can get a complimentary unlocked top of the line Motorola RAZR v3i cell phone that works with any cellular service provider and any SIM card. I got mine free at this web site:ilikethis.info/razrv3i

An excellent "one box" solution for busy executives
My workplace wanted me to get a cell phone so that they could contact me when in transit between meetings. I had been fascinated by the idea of Blackberrys and Treos for quite awhile. One of my coworkers was upgrading to a Blackberry and was willing to let me use his Treo 650.

Great PDA but not made to last....
I've been through three of them.I'm not particularly hard on my phones and I use very little phone time but this phone always breaks in the same place (which is on the corner of the flip top) and beware, that is not covered under any warranty.I've paid $70 twice for two rebuilt ones and full price for my original.It works well but the design is very poor.Never again do I get a flip top phone or PDA.

Use the Treo600/650 With Sprint $10 Visions access!!

Hinge Jerry-Rigging Suggestion
Don't buy this product.It is absolutely the most frustrating piece of equipment I have ever owned.Like 99% of people who buy this phone my hinges broke.Once SuperGlue stopped working I attemped several different methods of fixing the hinges myself. Currently my 270 is no longer hinged on the top.It now opens out to the right side thanks to a beautifully inexpensive hinge made out of Scotch packing tape.Needless to say it is not functioning as a phone.If you're using yours as a PDA only like I am, then you can try this. I would like to have fixed it the proper way but after reading the experiences that others have had with PalmOne and TMobile, it's not worth it. ... Read more

Sound Is An Important Feature For A Phone
If I had written this review shortly after the purchase of my phone, it would have been filled with accolades.This phone is fantastic...until it breaks.Several years ago, I purchased the Treo 600 palm phone with Sprint coverage.Within one year, the sound stopped working.I was given a refurbished phone, which eventually came to the same end.So, now on my third phone, the sound is again causing problems.Of course, this one fell apart a year and a week after the last one was replaced so Sprint refuses to replace it.
Pretty good little device
I've had my Treo 600 over a year now, and haven't had any trouble, except for a couple lock-ups that cleared away easily w/ a soft reset.I just installed a 1 meg SD card and Real-player's MP3 player (free!) on the phone and the sound quality (w/ Sony earbuds) is much better than I expected.The 650 wasn't available when I bought mine--I assume I'd buy a 650 if I were shopping today.OBTW, I'm on Sprint and it works well, BUT!!You can't (currently) take Sprint phones over to Europe (GSM, CDMA, whatever...), so if you travel much, think about that before you go w/ a certain provider.

Best Buy
I have had this phone for over a year and have been very happy with it. I used to carry a pda and a phone now I only have to carry one, plus I can check my email without going home.
Don't bother
I've been using this phone for over a year now and would not buy another Palm product.
Bad Things
Love the PDA features, but the phone is awful.If battery is not fully charged it can not make calls.With a full signal and battery it drops calls or will not force its way on to Verizon's network.Ringer volume is fine but vibrate mode is weak.I teach and cannot always answer the phone...I'm going back to Verizon to see if I can upgrade or change over.Maybe the 700 is better. ...

Don't buy this phone with such a bad history!
I bought this phone without doing the research I usually do because I've owned a Palm PDA for years.Turns out this phone and the 650 are part of a class action lawsuit because of the problems the phone has had.
Run ...from this no - service company
I have owned this unlocked GSM 600 phone for 3 agonizing years.Not sure whether to lynch the engineers, techs or marketers!!! Lots of potential and promises and absolutely horrible customer care.Treo and PalmOne really sucks and is pushing otherwise dedicated customers to other smart phones.Blackberry does less but more reliably.So long you silver piece of _____, I am tired of dropped calls, shut offs and resets.JGK

Spend your hard earned money on something worthy!
It is less than a year since I got my treo 600. This will be the third set I am going to get in warranty exchange program (I called these guys up today again with couple of problems and they are going to send me a new set).

My invaluable personal assistant
If I lost my Treo tonight I would lose countless documents that I regulary review, an endless store of contacts, multiple medical references, my trusted primary phone line, games that lighten the day, memos that remind me where I am, my schedule for the next 3 months, and my alarm for tomorrow morning ... those are just the important things.As you can see, I rely on my Treo nearly as much as my wife (although clearly I would not tell her that); and it has followed through.No complaints ... I think that deserves 5 stars.

Convenient, compact, versatile....
I got my Treo about 4 months ago and I love it.There are very tiny gliches (b/c of me) but nothing wrong with the phone/pda itself.I love the functionality of the Treo 650 because I can do school, business, personal, and other things all on one product.

Almost as bad as my old Samsung
This phone could have been a great phone but it was a prototype. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. Buy the 650 and choose Verzion. Sprint's a joke. I've tried them three different times and this was my last time.

never use sprint again
This review has nothing to do with this phone. I am very unhappy about their service.
