I smashed my Treo 700WX in the door the other day, so I needed something new. I was waiting for a Treo 800W, but then I remembered I hated Palm. ...and Verizon+CDMA. So a minute ago I ordered one on Amazon.
I like that this thing has a touchscreen + scroll-wheel + QWERTY + GPS + WiFi and doesn't come with a contract. I hate carrier branding.
I wish this had a slightly larger screen that was A LOT brighter. But this is much better looking than the old Treo 700WX screen. I think it's running at 133dpi like the Q.
I considered the iPhone, but I wanted QWERTY because I type alot. I can type blind on my Treo, and it makes using the phone so nice. I'm so serious about the importance of easy typing that I'll return this if I can't learn to type blind. The keyboard looks bad, but the reviewers said it was nice. ...We'll see.
I'm not turned on by this phone's appearance. ...But it's not that ugly, and I bet it will grow on me.
Almost every reviewer comments on how fast this phone operates. It was scheduled to be a 520Mhz processor, it was released at 412Mhz. I'll bet you can easily overclock this to 520Mhz. I suspect they lowered it to save battery. Sometimes I like to overclock when I don't mind killing the battery, maybe they should bring back the turbo button computers used to have? Does anyone else remember those?
I like the removable battery.
I wish it had more miniSD slots. I'd like to see two on the outside and four behind the battery. ...But who cares what I think.
...Bottom line, I'm really looking forward to playing with it and I think it's going to be a big upgrade from the 700WX. ...And probably better than the 800W.
Actually older computers had turbo buttons to slow them down to be compatible with older games and programs -- not to speed them up; but now I'm just arguing semantics :-)
