I am enjoying my move to this electronic organizer and smart phone - the Palm Treo 700w. This communication device has brought my cell phone and personal digital assistant together in one single device and that is very convenient. One of these benefits I notice is that the personal organizer / communication device at my side on my belt. I have always had my phone there, but the personal digital assistant has always been in my shirt pocket - I never ware a T-shirt because they don’t have shirt pockets. Now that the combined functions are on my belt, I am not so confined by shirts with pockets.
I also start to notice the size of the screen on the 700w. It is much smaller than my Palm T/X, approximately half the height and somewhat smaller side to side. The screen also appears to be grainy in when compared to the T/X. While I can see the information I need to see from Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and notes, I am used to seeing more of the information and not scrolling up and down so much. This is not prohibitive in the use of the Palm Treo 700w, but it not as convenient and pleasant to the eye as the larger screen.
Perhaps the most noticeable issue is the connection speed to the internet – or lack of speed connecting to the internet. I do get my emails on this older communication device which is very helpful, but surfing the net it is very slow to connect to and very slow to navigate.to a site or from site to site. In fact, it is so slow that I do not try to use the Palm treo 700w to surf the internet. I don’t know if it is an old device interfacing to new 3G or 4G technology Verizon is using or something else, but it is not very functional or convenient and my personal organization is not complete with this older device.
