I agree with you. Couldn't live without the Treo 650 last year and this year, wouldn't do without the Treo 700p. However, we need that firmware update to help with the "speed" of switching apps and help with the BT drivers. Otherwise, it is a great Smartphone!!

While i did finally get it to work with bluetooth there are some volumn issues that will hopefully be solved with a firmware upgrade. The Phone does suffer from low volumn on it's own which was solved with a prc called Volumn care.
But the fun came when I bought the little adaptor that you have to have to use iPod ear phones.(They should have included it but I had to buy it for $10.00) Once I did that i started downloading songs into the 700P which was very easy. So the MP3 player sounds great. But the real fun came when I booted up the web and went to a site called io2go which is a collection of online radio stations. http://www.radioio.com/io2go/ Being a Jazz fan I found this streaming Jazz radio station and it played on the treo without a hitch. Oh yes we are lovin the querty keyboard. Very convienent for sending text messages. So far so good.
In a passing conversation I heard one of the tech's in the SF palm store mention that problems occur when people try to use software from the 650 that they believe will work on the 700P. There appears to be a bit of a difference with the buttons and the OS between the 650 and the 700P and that causes problems. I am still learning the ropes though so i take very careful steps in my learning curve making sure any included software is written for the 700P. Maybe I'll watch some TV using MOBITV. http://mobitv.handmark.com/?r_id=ggl_mobitv
