Smart Phones and PDAs

[jubilance1922]

I had a Treo 600 that I loved, when it wasn't freezing up on me or when it took less than 20 times to try to dial, even when I had all my signal bars.

I switched back to my old regular phone, I was too frustrated.

I want the SmartPhone by Sprint, but I hear it locks up as well...

I just got an TMobile MDA/Pocket PC and I find myself not wanting to use the phone or answer the phone because of the incovenience of putting on my bluetooth earpiece. If I wore the earpiece all day, then it might not be an issue.

I do love having all my contact info available and my calendar that I sync with all the computers in my life. Its also nice to have access to the internet anywhere to check for directions or restaurant hours....but I guess you could still have that with a regular phone.

Same basic experience here w the Treo 650. Hate it as a phone, just added a new line to my acct with the cheap giveaway phone that works 10000 times better than the treo---which disconnects calls at random when a text comes in, does not recognize that one line has hung up when a call waiting comes in and you switch over so then keeps hopping back to original line--but that call disconnected and dumb phone doesn't know it.

And finally, the damn touchscreen. Can't lean into it, cradle it btwn neck and shoulder to free up hand for a moment--leaning turns phone off when your face hits screen. Don't laugh too hard or yawn too big--cheek will hit touchscreen and disconnect you
