Amazon.com Hands-On Review

<blockquote><small>To keep your smartphone's applications up to date, and to optimize the performance of your device, you may need to perform firmware and/or software updates just as you would on your PC. To learn more about updates for your device, please visit Palm's support site. Note that by clicking this link you will be leaving Amazon.com.</small></blockquote> The Treo name has been synonymous with QWERTY keyboard equipped smartphones for years - and with good reason. The devices have long been packed full of the features that power users require, while still fitting in the palm of your hand. The new Treo 700p from Palm is no exception. Based heavily of the massively popular Treo 650, the 700p gets a few upgrades where they really count while not messing too much with the rest of the Treo recipe for success. The main upgrades are a 1.3 megapixel camera, twice as much built-in memory, and EV-DO 3G data connectivity.</p> <table align=right width=119 cellpadding=0> <tr> <td align="left"> <img height= 250 width= 119 border="0" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/700p-palm.jpg" border=0 align=top>
<small><b>A palm tree on your Palm, in your palm.</b></small> </font></td></tr> </table>

But first, the physical design of the 6.2oz Treo 700p. The Treo has long had one of the best built-in keyboards on the market, and that is still true today. The QWERTY keyboard's keys are made of a hard plastic, but still have a good feel. The 700p's keys get a new square shape, and has had its direction-pad controller and hardware buttons reworked a bit: the green and red call keys are now located directly under the display, where the home and menu keys used to reside on the Treo 650. The 700p's menu key is now on the bottom row of the keyboard, a somewhat questionable position for a key that is so important to the Palm OS.</p>

Speaking of the Palm OS, the version used in the 700p is virtually unchanged from that found in the Treo 650. As such, the user interface appears a bit dated, even though it is being shown on a very capable 320x320 pixel, 65k color touch screen. The stylus that is to be used on the display is stored in the back of the 700p and has a very nice heft to it, making it nearly as comfortable to use as a regular pen. Thanks to some clever work on the UI, though, there are relatively few instances where you truly need to use it.</p>

In spite of the Treo 700p's somewhat dated OS, it is still a very capable and amazingly popular system when it comes to 3rd party application support. In fact, the Treo 700p ships with a number of 3rd party apps to make up for missing pieces in the OS, such as music playback. Due to the popularity of the Palm OS over the years, if there is an application that can be written for a mobile device, chances are good that it has already been written for the Palm platform.</p> <table align=left width=300 cellpadding=0> <tr> <td align="left"> <img height= 200 width= 300 border="0" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/700p-keyboard.jpg" border=0 align=top>
<small><b>The 700p features one of the best keyboards on the market.</b></small> </font></td></tr> </table>

Now that the 700p has over twice the available built-in storage as the 650 (and still has an SD card slot for even more), you should be able to load it up with all sorts of programs, games, and media files without problem.</p>

The Treo's default PIM type applications like the Calendar and Contacts manager are all very good. Through the use of the included HotSync application, information from your desktop PC can easily be synchronized with the applications on your Treo. Another bonus from the use of HotSync is the automatic backup it provides. If your Treo ever gets lost or ceases to function, you can easily restore your existing HotSync backup to a new device with an absolute minimum of effort and be back in business in no time at all.</p>

If you are an existing Treo 650 user, the biggest reason to consider an upgrade is the new 3G EV-DO data support. When used in an EV-DO coverage area, the Treo 700p will scream along at speeds many people would only expect to get at home with their DSL service. The 700p lacks WiFi support, but for those that live and work in EV-DO coverage areas, that won't be an issue at all.</p>

Treo 700p ROCKS!.......2007-06-02

Have had my Sprint Treo 700p since November 2006, and in addition to the normal functions (phone, email, camera, camcorder, web, MP3 music, calendar, etc) since then I have been able to install Treo apps that allow me to:

* Stream live internet radio stations with Mundu and directly from other radio station websites like Shoutcast and IO.

* Added unique custom MP3 song ringtones for all individual contacts in my list so I know exactly who it is just by their ringtone. I can also use videos as ringtones.

* Play my iPod and Archos MP4 video DVD movie files from my 2GB or 4GB SD card in TCMP and Kinoma

* Read ebooks

* use Google Maps

* Listen to stereo music remotely via Bluetooth stereo headsets and receive calls simultaneously

* Watch the free Sprint TV channels included in powervision pack in real time

* With my Slingbox Pro and SlingPlayer for Palm OS beta I can now watch LIVE Cable TV, OR control a DVD Player, OR a ReplayTV DVR, OR a Motorola High Definition two-tuner DVR with ON-DEMAND programming AND ANYTHING I HAVE RECORDED PREVIOUSLY! The Slingbox Pro has FOUR video inputs, including High Def!

THIS IS AWESOME! While driving 65 mph using EVDO, I can hook my Treo 700p audio to my car speakers during my commute and listen to live all-music channels in high quality stereo from my cable DVR, I can switch video inputs on the fly to check the Weather Channel or traffic reports on basic cable, then later in the day at my workstation I can watch LIVE DAYTIME BASEBALL GAMES AS THEY ARE BEING BROADCAST!!!!

The Treo 700p is unbelievable! I am extremely happy with it. The Palm OS is incredibly simple and can be operated with one thumb on the 5-way navigator (don't even need the touchscreen or stylus). Sprint EVDO service is VERY FAST!

Everyone I come into contact with sees my Treo 700p, admires it and when I show them what it can do they are absolutely BLOWN AWAY! Then they all look down at their little feeble phones with a sad look on their faces...

Get one soon befoe they sell out, since they will be discontinued shortly!

A very mixed bag........2007-05-24

IMO, the Palm OS is fantastic. Simple, reliable and innumerable applications. But after using the T3 for the past 3 years or so that small screen takes some getting used to though the screen resolution and brightness are outstanding.

The keys are tiny, tiny tiny! I simply couldn't get used to them in the short time that I owned the phone. I thought that using the touch screen for dialing would eliminate that problem, but misregistration of numbers occurred about 5 - 10 percent of the time - unacceptable. But I could have eventually gotten used to all of these "quirks" had the phone functionality been equivalent to my Samsung A900 - it is not.

The audio quality was, for me, substandard. My hearing isn't very good and I need crystal clear audio and the Treo did NOT deliver. The audio was slightly muffled - like having some soap suds in your ear canal. I was mostly able to understand the person on the other end of the line but I had to strain to do so.

Additionally, navigating efficiently through the phone options was cumbersome for me and not nearly as efficient as the Samsung A900. The Palm functionality is very good albeit a smaller screen than I would like. Internet connectivity was very good and without a hitch, HOWEVER, that pesky little screen again.

Like I said, I could have put up with the deficiencies had the audio quality been on par with my Samsung phones. My advice: check the audio quality very carefully before buying. If it is acceptable to you then this phone is very nice although FAR from perfect.

Pretty disappointing.......2007-05-19

I have owned the Treo 300, 600, 650 and now the 700p, and I am sorry to say that the 700 is likely the last one that I own. I would highly recommend to anyone to check out other products as I find the too to be very glitchy. There can be long delays while switching applications. When the service is looking for a signal, good luck trying to do something else. The phone freezes when it thinks it has a signal. Also, I seem to have to reboot this thing about 2x a week. Also, the voice function is only decent.
Palm basically keeps putting out new phones without touching the OS and it's getting stale.
Luckily for me, the Apple Iphone and the Blackberry Curve are coming out soon. I will inspect those and hope that they outperform the 700. I can't believe that they won't...

Good phone, but some tradeoffs from the 600.......2007-05-02

I'm essentially going to make comparisons with my Treo 600 on this review as well as maybe answer some concerns or other questions that seem to come up. First off this is a really good phone and a solid PDA all in one. So keep that in mind. It's just I noticed some differences with my first Treo. Some good and some not so good. All in all if you are thinking about getting it go right ahead. I don't think my gripes will be enough to turn you off.

First off the phone itself is solid. The reception is really good where I live, and might even be better than from the 600. Signal clarity might be better than the 600, but if it is I can hardly tell (because the 600 was very clear too). The buttons are a bit bigger on the 700, which makes using the keypad all the easier. Now I hardly use the touchscreen if there is a button to use instead. You still have the convenient volume controls and a new button below it that activated the voice memo feature (comes in really usefull).

The keypad also lights up, which is great for those calls in the dark. Speaking of dark the Treo 700 has the same super bright screen that can double as a non-glaring flashlight if you want. Only now you have the ability to change the brightness of of the keypad for those of you who don't want a flashlight for a keypad. Battery life is about the same as on my other Treo. I can go all week without recharging.

The camera is a big step up. Instead of a VGA camera like those on the 600 and 650 you get a 1.5 megapixel camera that really does take some nice pictures. My last Treo the pictures were good enough for sending in emails, but if you printed them they would be grainy and well... not the best looking picture you can get. Now you have some serious photos. Keep in mind it's still just 1.5 megapixel and it won't hold up side by side to a good digital camera, but I'm very satisfied with the results. The cameral also has a digital 2x zoom. The zoomed images aren't as good as the 1x, but this is a phone afterall.

Need a camcorder but forgot yours? The 700 can also does video capture. Okay. The framerate is pretty low and you don't get any audio, but hey. You forgot your camcorder! What else are you going to use?

The software interface has a graphical update with the icons looking better and the software responding faster. The only real complaint I have on software is rather superficial, but it does stick in my craw. When I tried to port the software from my old Treo to the new one it didn't really port what I wanted. What software you ask? Okay, it's solitaire. But I do use it too kill time and I like the version on my old Treo (the game on the 700 has a crappy interface). I know it's a stupid thing to complain about, but I know what I like. Good thing I have Bejewelled on the 700 too (which plays and sounds sweet).

The other real gripe I have is how the phone handles calls after you hang up. You see the 700 will tell you how long the call lasted as soon as you disconnect. That might sound convenient for many people, but since I use a company phone I don't really care. My beef is the fact that little call time message stays on screen for about 3 seconds or so and you can't really do anything while it's showing the message. That really bugs me when I want to zip to another call or just turn off the phone after I call.

As for gripes from other people I have never had a problem with the phone locking up when using SMS messaging, or just freezing in normal use. I have also never had the phone require to be reset (only had to reset once for the entire year I have had it). Never used the phone as an mp3 player (I have a Creative Zen for that) so I can't say either way about that other than I think it's just an added bonus and this phone is not MEANT to be a media player.

All in all the Treo 700 is a good phone. I have some minor aggrivations with it (mainly the 3 second wait on closed calls), but the improved keypad, improved camera, and voice memo along with the same or better phone performance from my previous phone still make it a worthwhile upgrade.

BTW if you are on the fence about getting a 700 or a 650 get the 700. In our office the 650's were notorious for having consistent problems.

Perfect........2007-03-13

I've never used a "smart phone". I've used Palm products for years. The integration of this device with the Palm applications is flawless. It can really change your life.

If you like Palm products, this device is the perfect integration of the Palm OS and applications with phone functionality.

I haven't have any problems with it. It's frozen once in 3 months.
