I thought this phone was going to be the best phone i had used in my life time. BOY was i wrong it drops calls ALL the time and every time i call some one either they can not hear me or i can not hear them. Its ridiculous trying to call some one 4 times before anyone could hear me. The only cool thing about it is that i can surf the web but ' about it. The camera sucks on it with only 1.3mega pixels and NO flash. Some time the touch screen doesn't even work.

2. okay features, bad phone and quality

27 Nov 2008 by Jake

i was very excited to get a winmo phone, having previously only had dumbphones and an older blackberry. the operating system was great, and i even updates the device to winmo 6.0. unfortunately the quality of the phone is sub par. many dropped calls, and fewer bars than with my motorola and samsung phones ive had before. ultimately a large dissapointment. i just order a samsung sch-u550 to replace this phone after only a month of use.

3. Solid Performance, Dependable, Proven Quality

18 Nov 2008 by Dan

83.3%8.3out of 10

I've had a 700wx for 3 months now and I am absolutely hooked.  Having used other OS types in the past, I am a huge fan of the Palm tweaks to the Windows OS.  I updated to WM 6.1 and haven't looked back, I applied a SDHC.cab file to expand storage and have not had a single problem.  I also use Spb Time and Spb Pocket Plus which provide an amazing amount of personalization and features.  I really prefer the 700wx to other options - I like having the QWERTY keyboard, touch screen (w/stylus or finger), expandable memory, speakerphone, Bluetooth, Infrared, Audio/Video Recording, etc. etc.  I tried phones without QWERTY keyboards and hated typing those tiny keys on the screen that don't FEEL, hated typing with the stylus-so slow, I also hated "hidden" keyboards - slide out or fold out - it made the phone feel flimsy/weak.  More moveable parts = more risk for breaking or scratching, friction wear marks... etc.


Trust me - just buy a Treo 700wx or a Treo Pro.  the only thing I wish it had was WiFi, but a SD wifi card fixed that one negative mark.

4. Great phone, could be better

80%8out of 10

I work for Verizon and purchased the phone for $99 that's without any type of discount. I have never had any problems with the O.S. The Sound is just fine, Ive not had any problems with it. It never locks up, or runs short on memory. Good solid all around phone





Accurate touch screen. Expandle Memory. It's Quick to start programs. Battery life is above average.
External power antenna, alittle on the bulkier side. No wifi.

5. Glitches galore

Software glitches galore.  the phone is possessed, randomly changing to Central Standard time, turning off the blootooth connection, and the sync feature often cuts the phone off when ringing.

6. Mine Rocks

I got this unit free from microsoft and it is awsome.
got it hooked to exchange server and syncing all my contacts and email. i have had not call issues and its sound quality is way better than me previous phone samsung a930 people are always clear and i have not had anyone complain about my voice. the ringer is LOUD so i hardly ever miss it. video quality is poor thow. i like that i can record any length video but the quality in my opinion should be better especially on the audio for the record it way to sensitive.

10. Call quality/Sound

16 Apr 2008 by The Zune Lune

60%6out of 10

The sound quality is exactly why I am considering switching to either the HTC Touch or even the non smart phone LG vx9700.

Friends and family are all so irritated by this phone, I can't stand it. I love the PDA functionality, but the phone quality has persuaded me not to buy another Palm product.
