What a disappointment this phone has been. I’ve been using it for heavy business use (4,000 minutes a month and unlimited data plan – averaging 1,500-3,000 MB of data transfers a month). I switched to Verizon after 12+ years with AT&T/Cingular because of this phone and the EVDO network. Now I am stuck with a $500 paperweight and a $175 cancellation fee to go back to Cingular.
The good:
The EVDO network and a small piece of software called “PDAnet” which lets you use the Treo as a broadband modem for your laptop or PDA.
The Verizon wireless sync made it pretty easy to set up my own “push server” without hassling with my internal IT group, but it does need to be rebooted every week or so or it will simply stop forwarding emails.
The Bad (highlights only):
Where should I start – there is so much BAD about this phone… The single biggest problem is the way it manag

In March of this year I hated my Verizon 650 and the constant resetting so much that I decided to spend the $550 on the 700w.
BIG MISTAKE.
This thing sucked more then the 650. After a month I was WISHING I had my 650 back. Now, I’ve switched to Cingular [thank God] and a Blackberry 8700c and love it.

If you are migrating from a Palm OS based phone, you should be aware that many things that you used to get “for free” via the web (such as time tables from airlines) you will now need to get from the web using your airtime data connection. If you don’t plan to buy airtime minutes for web/email access for this phone, I would NOT consider buying this phone.
This is a point that is sometime missed when considering a Windows based mobile device over a Palm OS phone.

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.
