Help! I ran over my phone tonight. I am looking for any advice about purchasing a new smart phone. I have Sprint service and do not want to change. Any advice will be greatly appreciated, since I am having to choose in the morning. A friend suggested the Palm Treo 650. I searched the reviews and it seems to have poor reception??? Thanks!

Sprint has special discounts with NAR members. Have you checked what their current offers are? Hope you had insurance.

I'm sure you'll get lots of ideas on this one but, I'd prefer to keep my Realtor(r) key and use a Blackberry! I've had 3 Treo and could not hear very well on it so, I went to another Motorola smart phone and it was too large, then I went back to my Motorola flip and my key and am much better off! HOWEVER, I hate not having my data in my phone and I've been taking a local poll and it seems that alot of folks love the Blackberry. So, there you have it!!

I have a treo and love it. I did have trouble hearing on my first one but my new one was better. If you have trouble hearing on the treo just call customer service and they can fix the issue. Good luck

The Palm Treo 650 is an older model. I have the PocketPC and really love it since it has WiFi..

Hi Melissa

I've had my Palm 650 Treo for several years....LOVE IT! I know there are other phones that do things better, but to keep track of appointments, have the data for houses at my fingertips, plus all the other features....I prefer to leave my email at the desk and not on my phone. It was the best piece of equipment that I have purchased, and I have Sprint too.

I just upgraded from the 650 to the 750 because I wanted the Windows operating system. I loved the 650 and never had a moment's trouble with it; I am learning to love the 750!

I have a 650 and I really like the way it works. The only downside is I have a problem hearing on it and you do have a few more spots where your reception is weaker. But overall a good phone.

I have the 700 and I love it! I can't believe all of the different applications I got for FREE! Buy the kit with the headset, inside charger and car charger adapter..I also got this great CD with all kinds of awesome tools...

One of my favorite Christmas gifts...I know if something happens to this phone I could never go back to the others...I too have sprint...good luck!
