Customer Review: Palm Treo issues
The shipping and product delivery from the seller was fine. The stability of the operating system in the unit however has been rather iffy. This is my 3rd Palm Treo, and love the units, but this one may have a bug in it. It rather routinely freezes up or randomly shuts down and resets on its own, losing whatever work I had. I'm trying to give it some time to see if there's a pattern, but my fear is that I may be sending this in for service or looking to spend another chunk of money on an all new unit. Not sure.
Customer Review: Palm can not make a decent phone
I've owned six different Treo Palm phones. I've also gone through at least a half-dozen of many of each model due to the handset protection program. No amount of these phones has ever proven to be reliable or not without problems. Let my misery be your wisdom. Move on. Palm has repeatedly made it clear they are not capable of producing an adequate smart phone. Ignore my advice and waste your money.
