I just bought a used Palm Treo 700p for Verizon which came with none of the installation software. My roommate had a good experience with buying one online so I was hoping I'd have similar good luck. Was looking forward to it all week, waiting for it to come, and it arrived today. Already, however, I have problems.
- the installation software didn't come with the phone, and I didn't realize you needed this to install VersaMail. I'm not interested in using the Sync email but am despairing on where to get the drivers/software that usually comes with the phone. Is there any place online I can download it, or if nothing else buy it?
- I am getting TERRIBLE reception with this thing.
Whenever I put the phone up to my ear, I lose a call within seconds; speakerphone works great as long as I keep it away from my head, but the minute I put it to my head I lose reception. It's as if anytime it's near my head it can't get reception. I read that others are having this same problem, is there a way to fix it or will I need to use speakerphone from now on when calling (so not my preferred method)?
- two buttons on the front, the green one and the phone button, don't work. This has me irked as I was not told about this on Ebay. How, if possible, can I go about getting those fixed? There's no warranty so do I contact Verizon or Palm?
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm still stoked about this product. I've spent the last several hours fiddling with the internet (nice and fast! Yay for EVDO!) and learning what everything does, but I'm a little bummed by the absense of Versamail (even though I can log on the internet easily enough) and the terrible phone-call quality. Anyone want to help a Treo-n00b out with some info, pretty please? With a cherry on top?
