Just got my new 700p(sprint), a few questions - Treo Forums

ny.nick · 11-30-2006, 02:51 PM

The internet browser sucks, are there any other browsers available that will enhance the experience? like possibly going into chats (yahoo... msn, google) on the mobile phone?
Also, is Kinoma (or Kimona whatever it is) also a vid player, like if I put a movie on my treo, will this be my default player? and if so, is k 4 the best vid player out there?
I heard about nes games like supermario 3 and punch out, will these programs slow down or possibly mess with my treo?
thanxx

There are other options when it comes to Web Browsing. You could try Opera mini (couldn't find out if it supports 700p) or Xiino. I personally perfer Blazer. Mobile sites will improve your browsing experience.

For video players, you'll want TCPMP and you can get that from our free Treo software downloads section. Kinoma is in the ROM and is for streaming video/audio.

To play SNES, you'll need Little John (in our free software section) and the ROMS for the particular games (not available on this site).

Mini Opera 2 & 3 work ok on the Treo 700p; however, they operate under the Java environment, which you will have to install first. I also prefer Blazer.

For chats you will have to use a 3rd party app. Cuz blazer does not support that nativley. Verichat and etc is what your looking for.

Verichat is dead, you can always try Mandu IM. Ben

Here's an IM Roundup done last last year. Add Mundu to this list.

Verichat is no longer being sold. I didn't see any information about when it will stop being supported though.

Verchat is no longer supported, no longer works, no longer IM, no longer anything. The plug was pulled post haste and with no notice. It is dead. new owner (Nokia) did not want the hassles of system maintenace. It is dead.

Mine is still working on my 650, as it always has. Wonder when that will change....

I haven't found any of the other messengers to do just what Verichat does. Mundu seems to make me miss calls on occasion. Anyone have any up to date suggestions of what you use and why? I've read the "roundup", and tried them all, but really like Verichat's "always on", the buddy notifications, and the ability to log on with multiple names at one time.
Help!
