i love it when people call in where im at and they have a treo 700w/treo 700wx and then they get mad becuase it wont synch with their macs..

The Treo 700w/wx and Treo 750 works perfectly fine with Macs. Just a matter of getting Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.

exactly but you see i am advanced technical support for treos (sprint) and i know you can but they get mad because it wont synch with out downloading some 3rd party software....

You cannot expect anything to work with everything. You go with what works for the majority. I am not a Mac user and therefore have no desire to clutter it up with software for a Mac. What Palm could do though is to include a Mac install disk that I would throw away and that would be a waste of money.

Sounds like a member here in Advanced Tech Support "gets it". The problem lies in the sales of the device to Mac users. I suppose that Sprint is not doing an effective job training their sales staff as to compatiblity with the Mac. From a user perspective, it's easy enough to see the phone does not support the Mac platform. My Treo 700w box is not around, but I do remember something about not supporting Macs. Unfortunately, Macs are still a small percentage of users. A passionate, well informed group of users.:laugh3: Having come from the dark ages of Mac users, I must say that support among developers and manufacturers is greater now than it has ever been.

It would be nice if Mark/Space offered a trial of the their software. This would allow those who come home with a Treo 700w/wx or Treo 750 to try before buying. It's understandable that it doesn't support the Mac (I mean it is an MS OS), but I think $40 is a small price to pay if you want to use a $400 smartphone that supports a different platform.
