HELP! Hate my PP6700! Need advice

[gunnistar]

Hi Everyone,
I need your serious help. I am so fusterated with my PCC 6700. I have had it for over a year and I can't deal with the clunky box of a PDA anymore. It works okay as a PDA, but even worse as a phone. It freezes in mid conversations so I am stuck on mute, I don't receive calls, and it constantly needs soft resets.

I am not sure whether to go back to a regular clam shell phone and pull my email off that way or switch to possibily the Treo 700wx? Does that seem to function better as a phone? Is it more stable?

Thanks for your help!

I love my 700wx. I haven't had any trouble with it at all. I like it much better than the 6700.

The 700wx is a better PDA and a MUCH, MUCH better phone than the 6700.

Hmmm - I don't have any of those problems with mine, but then its a late-model version, running the latest rom, and I installed the ring-thru patch.

Sounds like you may be running the original rom.

Have you tried doing some/all of this?

With a little tweaking, this is a very good device.

FYI the 700wx, as another user puts it, "...was more than I thoought...!" It's an excellent, all-around PDA phone. The PPC6700 has its own fan base as well and, since your device seem to have been released at an earlier date, you want to make sure you upgrade its software before you give up on it and go looking for something else. Definately follow the advice of schettj (member.php?u=11715) and other PPC6700 users.
