Thanks Steve and Benjie, but in reference to the first part of the OP, my problem was with the missed calls. Of utmost importance to me is that a cell phone act like a cell phone. If I miss calls, I am not going to be concerned about email etc. I gave up on email after having problems with Versamail, then installing Agendus Mail (which was expensive) and more problems. If I use it as cell phone it seems to work great and some limited use of Palm OS software is ok. Having the Palm Desktop is convienent and Hot Sync seems to work most of the time without problems.
In short I suppose that I am ranting about reliability; extras are great and I love having them, I buy things because of them, but reliability is paramount. If they don't work or don't always work they are a drawback and sometimes an extreme drawback.
I haven't given up on Palm yet and I am hoping that their next iteration will be something that I can use. From what I have seen on this site and others, they are not fixing the bugs, only producing more hardware the harbors the same bugs. We don't know yet how the 800p will be but I for one would like to see it operate for awhile before I buy into it. I guess I don't trust Palm right now.
Sorry for the long post, but maybe someone will derive benefit from my problems.
I am on my third Treo 700p in three years. I've used the Palm OS for many years and been pleased with it. However, I am wondering if maybe Palm hasn't exceeded their abilities with the cell phone combination. |
