Hello,
I'm a former Tmobile Sidekick user and want to move up to a Treo 700wx with Verizon. I have a voice plan with VZW so I would like to just carry one device with me. And my priorities are IM chatting and making phone calls.
As for IM, I usually like to leave my chat program open during work. But I've just read during my research that VZW disconnects the broadband after 30 seconds of inactivity. Does that mean if I don't type anything in my chat program for 30 seconds, it would disconnect?
Also, does that mean if I leave my chat program open, I will NOT be able to receive phone calls since EV-DO doesn't support both voice and data? Does the Treo alert you to any missed calls while you're chatting? Or if it goes to voicemail, does it alert you while you're chatting? This worries me a tad bit only because I like to be reachable for my babysitter.
Any help would be appreciated. I hope to make my final decision by Saturday
