Having switched from a 750V (with all its problems sorted), I was looking forward to a great leap forward with the Pro. Yes it has all the wizzy things the modern exec needs (but rarely uses). However I am now in a quandry as all my colleagues with E71's doubt my decision making skills. The case on my pro has started to crack in several places, this is despite me buying one of those velvet lined aluminium holders, additionally the sync facility locks up and then requires a reset. Also every time the gprs drops out I get a message come up on the screen telling me so, the only problem with this is that it opens a new window to tell me so each time. So before I can actually use any other function I have to close these windows. Finally whats happened to the smileys for the sms texting? Had it with the 750v now its gone!!!!!! Seems to me that Palms quality has gone down, perhaps maybe reminiscent of the Titanic.

I have a palm tungsten e2 handheld which holds all my addresses. I use this and a simple mobile phone. If I drop the simple phone and change to a treo pro will I be able to transfer my data to it and use that as my only device? Any advice welcomed.

> In reply to icebird @ 2009-01-10 23:08 from RNGh - click to readHi , for people like me who wanna listen to music , Palm is a better choice because of that 3.5 mm headset (standard). Blackberry is the best choice for people who have top secret codes , etc . i've heard that in britain when police arrested a gangster group and wanted to check the boss's phone ( that was blackberry) , they couldn't unlock the phone to get the secret codes , even when they gave help from the best hackers !! , so If you aren't a mafia or yakuza (!!!!!) , it seems palm will be your choice . Good luck !

For all to note that the above feild that states call history: practically unlimited" is incorrect. The maximum number of calls that the PDA will store is 80 calls of which each number if there is a history will show incoming, outgoing and missed calls.

On another point the backlight remains on while you are on an actual phone call. This as you can imagine does not give you the privacy to talk while someone might know who you are takling with.

A flaw that is to be corrected by Palm Inc.
