thinking about upgrading to 700p, thoughts? - Treo Forum

Charlie97L · 06-06-2007, 08:18 AM

hey all, i've had a 650 for over a year, and while i've done some cool things with it, i'm thinking about upgrading to a 700p...

i've read around on 650p vs 700p, and i'm basically really wanting the ability to use EVDO and streaming audio... which isn't possible on the 650.

i'm just not sold, because i feel like there are a lot more, and better apps available for the 650.

does anyone know of any way to stream sirius on the 650? if i could get that working, i'd probably keep it.

Who is your provider? Sprint has the 755p, which is a nice upgrade in both form factor, and functionality. Verizon is probably going to get it too, but they don't have it yet...

sprint is my provider... i don't know where i stand contract wise, though, at the moment.

so if i upgrade the 755p would be the way to go?

I'd say so, the 700p is the older model, and suffers from Bluetooth issues, as well as other problems, some of which have been fixed recently, but not everyone has been able to get the fix to work, and Palm has removed it from their site to work on it.

The 755 is less than a month old and the userbase is small still, so there may be some issues that haven't come to light. It's a slimmer design, with no external antenna. If you've seen the 680 and 750, it's the same size. Also it uses miniSD cards, so if you have a lot of standard SD cards, they won't work in the 755.

i only have a few sd cards, but i can use them in many things i have, so that's not a big deal.

thanks for the tips. i'm looking into it.
