Personally I prefer the N800 form factor. Although the keyboard on other devices may make text entry faster. It adds too much bulk. Judging from reviews the N800 thumb keyboard would be sufficient for me.

That's the only reason I'm still on this forum. I want an N800, just not in it's current state (software-wise).
It's not just "his" treo software or just "his" treo hardware is the problem. It is Palm's lack of QA when making the treo. Out of the box, the treo is bound to reset. I am on my second 700p and they haven't even been out one whole year. I do not want to take away from this thread but you opened the door with plopping Garnet onto the n800 and the fact that just because you don't have problems with your treo, don't discount others.

I use my 700p for Phone/SMS/BT-DUN. That is all it is worth to me now. If it werent for EVDO,qwerty keyboard and a two year contract with sprint :-) the treo would be tossed. At least Versamail sort of works.

Ah, then came the constant reboots. But with no other apps installed.. it will reset on its own. Treocentral is so chocked full of these problems. So, please, don't say that random rebooting is not one of the things Palm hardware does. It does on it's own and it does it plenty with no third party software and I am on my 2nd unit.

And still no firmware update. Nice support. At least Nokia has given us N800 owners that much. (Too a degree)


I want a Treo 700p, just not in it's current state (support-wise/OS wise/instability-wise). For now, the n800 will do alot of what the Treo cant do. And more reliably. For now they work together. Two huge bricks in my pockets! LOL!
