I was reading a review over at http://ptech.wsj.com/ptech.html where the author states:

"And then there's that email bug. If you're using a so-called POP email account, like the ones offered to consumers by EarthLink and many others, the Treo 700w will disconnect from the network after it checks for new email. This means that when the 700w next checks for email -- or when you next try to get on the Net -- you'll have to wait for it to dial into the network again, which is annoying. Microsoft is working on a fix, but it will take months to deploy the patch to users."

Could you possibly prove or disprove this statement. I've been following several early reviewers of the Treo 700w very closely and this is first I've heard of any bugs related to the OS.

Thanks, enjoy the 700!
