If you've had the 700w and returned because of bad cell coverage, then your answer "might" be the 700p. A lot of the same hardware is used on the 700p that's used in the 700w. Who is your carrier? Is this typical with regular phones? Is it possible that you got a problematic 700w?

The Treo 700p runs the Palm OS which is much different from Windows Mobile 5. If you are familiar with the Palm OS and enjoyed your Treo 700w, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't like the 700p. It's got a lot of the things you probably liked with your Treo 700w, but running on Palm's OS.

I spent 6 months or so using the 700w and now use the 700p (and the Moto Q, but that's another story). I do miss the Today screen, but the 700p has bit more pep to it. Fast device and they made some nice interface enhancements.

Check with your provider and see if they'll allow you to return if you have problems with reception.
