Pocket PC questioning if I should make the Switch

[Lone Wolf]

I currently use a HP h6315, but am currently thinking of changing over to the treo. I have had both windows PDA's (pocket pc's) and also Palm OS PDA's, i am a bigger fan of the Windows based systems only because they seem to work more seemlesy with my other pc programs. But ever since i went to my pocket pc phone i had to sacrifice a good cell phone and a good pocket pc for a unit that provides the convience of both but was also a poor cell phone and a poor pocket pc. So my question is does the Treo 650 work the same is it neither a good phone or a good PDA? becuase if im going to make the switch i would like to know that im moving on to something more reliable. with my HP i found my self constantly doing soft resets b/c the device would freeze. The phone was poor sound quality and every one in 10 calls the person i was calling would here horrible feedback. The device was very slow(and i mean very!), and it could not use all of the same programs that my normal pocket pc could use. Are Treo users finding the same issues when trying to compare there Treo to say a good cell phone and a palm tungsten? Thanks for you time

I have had the Treo 600 (VZW) since it came out and have had no problems with it. The phone part of it works without a hitch. The PDA part works pretty well, you just have to keep your application numbers to just what you need. Too many apps seems to bog it down. I had to do a hard reset to clear it out once and start over fresh. The fact that Verizon waited for almost a year before releasing it after Sprint tells me that Verizon wanted to make sure that it would work right without constant issues, like soft resets and lockups. At least that is what I hear from the Cingular and Sprint customers that have the Treo 650. I am betting that Verizon is making sure that the 650 is holding up to usage and probably going back to PalmOne to have them tweak the firmware if they do find something wrong. The 600 is a little slow since it has a slower processor, but it is functional and not unreasonable. It is also pretty reliable. I would say if you can wait till VZW comes out with the 650, it will probably be a very good option for you (and me )

Hope this helps.
