700wx -vs- PPC-6700

[sixpanel]

I just switched from the PPC-6700 to the Treo 700wx...and I am SO glad I did! While I enjoyed my 6700, I like the Treo much better. The only thing I miss about the 6700 is the larger keyboard...but that was inconvenient since I had to slide it out everytime I needed it.

God bless the Treo!

I have a PPC6700 and I too am looking at switching to the Treo 700wx. I like the WM5 concept because I am a Windows user and it basically mimics almost all desktop functionality. However a good phone it is NOT due to the minutes it takes to switch apps and register input...like dialing a number or answering the phone...I miss alot of calls because by the time it realizes I have pushed "answer" the call has already gone to voicemail. So I am wondering if it is just an inherant problem with Windows Mobile or if the Treo handles it better. The Treo does have a slower processor so that makes me very skeptical. If anyone has experience with these two devices or if you think the Treo is slow......please give your thoughts and advice. Thanks.

I have no problem with the processing speed of the Treo 700wx. However, with the current problem with the SMS patch interfering with Bluetooth and EVDO status, I do NOT recommend it at this time.

My SMS patch did not interfere with my EVDO or Bluetooth, it works great (Sprint 700wx)

The SMS patch didnt interfer with mine either...I have a 6700 on my account also and the only thing I miss from the 6700 thatz not on the treo is the wifi and the different camera settings...

The Treo 700wx is the best sprint phoen you can buy. Right now that is 12/13/06. I jsut switched from the PPC-6700, and i am so happy i did. The only thing the treo doesent have is wifi, which isent that great if you have the data plan. I had it and used it once, no big deal with that. One thing i did hear that the Motorola Q is coming out for sprint so that might be cool to wait for that. http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellp...int-218738.php

I have unlimited data and text msgs. But I'm not familiar with WIFI. Are you saying that there's no need for WIFI if I have the data plan? Maybe a better question to add to the one I just asked is: What is WIFI, and how is my Treo700wx limited since it doesn't have it? Thanks for the help. I'm a novist.

With wifi you can hook up witha wirerless modem. So if you dont have a data plan you can check your emails and stuff using your home modem. I had the 6700 and never used the wifi because i had unlimited data. But most of my friends dont have the data plan and there always using the wifi.

Thanks. I guess I'm glad that I have unlimited data.
