Does it insure the physical phone from damage?

there is only 1 reason to get insurance...if you have a crackberry/sidekickX/pdaphone....no other reason. its not worth it in any way if you dont. they have changed the deductible to be higher or the monthly premium depending on the service you have.

btw...i have insurance but only cause my phone is $400 if i fuck it up. what sucks is i will be canceling the insurance soon. but only because i will be upgrading....AGAIN! and this one will cost $400 again. havent had this phone quite a year yet but yeah. im horrible.

yeah thats what i have only the GSM version. i cant wait to get the TyTn (above) as it has a faster processor and runs much better without sacrificing battery life. it also has 3g capabilities.

the 6800 comes out next month on VZW.

6800 = HTC TyTn but without the GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio.

I currently have the 700P, but I am exchanging it for the 700wx.

The only problem with the 700P is the software keeps resetting it self. I didn't know that this was a "normal" failure. My friend has a 650P and says he has the same problem. It was really crappy because I didn't get any of my text messages for like a week until the software reset and then all of a sudden WOOSH.. I was bombarded with all these diff alerts.

I figure I might as well get the 700WX. The only thing the WX doesn't have is streaming video (from what I found out so far). I know it's more complicated but that resetting shit is really annoying. ARGH!

ROFL thats one of the many "features" of palm os.

and there is no difference between the 700w and wx when it comes to the software and the only hardware difference that you may notice is more memory. to be honest though the treo sucks. the form factor is horrible. the keyboard is too small. your thumbs start hurting after a bit and its too cramped.

use your old phone if possible and wait for the PPC6800 to come out. its much better than the 6700 but same form factor. the slide out keyboard is MUCH more comfortable and easier to type on.

just ask bas or ruben (electrophile) if they love their phones. they and i have the HTC Wizard (Tmo MDA, Sprint PPC6700, VZW XV6700, Cing 8125) and we all love it. would never go back to a regular phone again.

Show-offs!
