Sprint’s Palm Treo To have Mobile Broadband
Sprint announces they will carry the new Palm enabled Treo 700P and be the first to offer the phone with mobile broadband service.
The phone is said to offer “unique” multimedia services as well as the wonderful Palm operating system and all the gadgets you could ever want. The real question is, “Will you be able to make a phone call with the phone?”
We all know that Sprint claims to have the biggest and baddest broadband network in the nation but last time I used the service I kept getting kicked off and wasting my time. It’ felt like the old days of dial-up where you’d wait 20 minutes for a web page to download only to be kicked off and have to restart the process all over again.
Geared towards the mobile business person the Treo 700P is supposed to be blazing fast and work like your desktop in your pocket. I’m sure if you work in downtown New York or Chicago this phone would be fine. Especially if you work in the park. But take the phone in a building and we would love to see it continue to work and be sending that email that was so important. Not likely. Sprint needs to work on their service, both customer and phone before they start into whiz-bang-boom gadgets.
