So far the 700P has not reset and it paired right away with the X downloading what ever was in the speed dial list with out issues. Not from contacts though. Haven't tried the web or E-mail yet. too sick for the whole process right now.

My Office Manager's had hers for a couple of weeks - I let her be the Guinea Pig for Verizon's new Wireless Sync technology.

We use Microsoft Exchange for Calendar and email and you have to run a Wireless Sync client on a computer that must always be on and logged in (kind of a PITA) but if you do that it works like a charm - pushes email and new calendar items to your phone in (more or less) real time.

Broadband access works well too - noticeably faster than my current Moto E815.

Only remaining question was how well it would work with the X's bluetooth connection. Sounds like it works just fine - so I'm off to Verizon tomorrow.

Wifey's gonna get the E815 - which she'll probably hate

So far it connected within 2 minutes. The time it took me to turn bluetooth on and type in the password. Downloaded Tele#s very quickly as well. More later

Hey, thanks for the update. That is good to know. I am going to upgrade my Verizon Treo 650 to the 700p.

The funny thing, I have the bluetooth ULF-522 and my Verizon Treo 650 with firmware 1.04 (which came out in October 2005), pairs fine and even transfer the speed dial list to the X5's bluetooth. Remember, I have a 2001 and got the Bluetooth retrofit kit from Martin's Bimmernav and my Verizon Treo 650 still paired. Also the VZW Treo 650 pairs with my M3 fine as well.

I need the Treo 700p not really for the EV-DO (which is nice), but more for the memory.....22mb of main memory RAM is not enough....The 60MB of main memory RAM is great!!

Congrats on getting the Treo 700p. At least I can get a $100 rebate since I am eligible for an upgrade!
