Love Hate Relationship with my Treo

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with RE/MAX Estate Properties

Where to I start?   Things were going so well with us for a while, me and my Treo 700. I'd previously had a trusty Treo 650. But being greedy I wanted have the latest-greatest Treo phone to show my friends.

Things with my 700 and I were going great. But all of a sudden she stopped being reliable.

Then her trustworthiness became suspect.  She wouldn't "wake up" when she was scheduled to get her email.  Wouldn't sync when I needed, even if I begged. Then the rebooting when getting in the car with Bluetooth.  I couldn't handle the constant problems in our relationship.

So that was it!  We'd been together for less than our two year prenuptial agreement. But I'd had enough and traded her in for a new model - the Treo 755. What a beautiful phone I thought. Sleek, beautiful and I thought I'd traded up to a trophy phone.

But the grass is always greener on the other side and I started having the same problems with my new device. Then I thought - It must be me!  But I talked to other people that had a relationship with a 755 and they were having the same problems; syncing with errors, rebooting when ever the device felt like it... and the list goes on and on.

One question remains for me.  When will Sprint and Apple sign a contract for a
Sprint version of the iPhone? I'm ready to trade up again.

John: I am slow.....and still using my TREO 650.   My hubby gave me a new 700 for christmas and it's still in the box.  I'm slower than most with the new and improved phone thingy....but my 650 works great.  If it dies, then I got the newbie in the box  (that is already outdated).  I didn't even know there is a 755 now !

My Treo 755 wouldn't turn on when I was out at the CAR convention in Long Beach yesterday.  I was forced to do a hard reset (erase all) to get it working.  For now it's OK, but no telling when it will fail me again!!!
