The Treo 700w is an easy phone to love and easy to hate. The physical build quality is good overall but could stand closer inspection before leaving the factory or Verizon's hands for that matter. The first Treo (700w) I had, had buttons that would stick or you could press but wouldn't do anything. Returned it and got a new one, no problem. The voice quality/clarity/sound is very good both sending and receiving. The ability of the phone to retain and hold a signal is great and at other times I get dumped like an ugly blind date with no explanation as to why. I had a LG 6100 and I would say it did a better job of locking in a signal. By the way I live in the greater Atlanta area and Verizon's coverage is exceptional. I believe with future software upgrades it will make the phone a whole lot better. Speaking of software, Windows Mobile 5.0 is pretty good but not nearly as simple to use as the Palm OS. -- Andy, GA

  I have had this phone for a little over a week now and thus far it is great. I am coming from the i730 which needed to be reset 4 times a day and thus far, no resets on the Treo 700w! The new OS is great, one handed is a great update, something you Palm guys have had for years but for your Windows guys out there nothing beats this OS. Internet works great, EVDO is VERY fast (faster then my 730 for some reason) Windows Media, mobile office, wireless sync....all work flawlessly. Tethering with USB can easily be solved by going to www.pdaphonehome.com and going into the forums for the 700w. There is a post that solves this problem and can easy get you on-line with in 5 minutes of downloading a program. Simple as that, Verizon disables it, we hack it! Why do they even bother? -- MK
