how can i adapt a palm treo to use as my phone in 2021?

hi, I am trying to use my dad's old phone as my phone. When I started this idea, I naively thought that I would be able to change out the sim card and be on my way. Well i am here now hoping for any advice on where to go now. Is there a sim card somewhere in the phone? If not, how hard is it to change carriers, I switched to verizon and sprint literally have their name written on the phone.

Active Sync via Bluetooth?

Palm sent us a demo unit 700W, I used it for a few days and could not get active sync to work over bluetooth with my laptop for the life of me. I then gave the unit to our CEO to try out and on his machine active sync over bluetooth didn't work either - is this yet another feature verizon disabled?
I was finally able to get active sync working over bluetooth today, and it works great. Takes a little playing with it to get it setup the first time, what with differences between bluebooth setups on different systems, there are no clearcut instruct...

Has anyone found a reliable way to sync using Activesync via Bluetooth between Palm Centro and PC (XP Pro SP3 - Activesync 4.5)? I am considering switching to (AT&T) Palm Centro.

Tons of trouble getting the phone to charge

Does anyone else have issues getting the phone to charge?

I have no idea why they designed the charger the way they did, but it really sucks. It doesn't lock in and at least mine has to be at the perfect angle when it's plugged in to insure a connection. I usually have to put a weight on the part that plugs into the phone in order for it to be sitting properly.

The problem is even when the red charging light is on and the screen says charging it still won't charge. For example if I'm down to 5% it will show that it's charging, but never increase over 5%.

Arghhh. So annoying.

Is it just the cord that's bad or is there another solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Texting on 700wx

I currently have an enV (9900) and am trying to decide between this and the SCH-I760. How is the keyboard on the 700wx? Specifically, is it cramped, does it have good tactile feedback and is it prone to typos?

Any help you guys can provide is appreciated.
it is actually really comfortable i think, now if you are texting for like 2 hours straight you probably will not like the after effects, but yeah it actually corrects most errors unless it doesn't recognize them, it's not really cramped...unless you ...

Treo 700W - need to get to sell

Hey guys, I have a Treo 700W (for verizon) that I was using for a few month that I now need to get rid of. I have since then purchased the Voyager and just have the Treo sitting around. I just purchased a new housing case, antenna & buttons for the phone because I was going to sell it to someone but the deal fell thru. The phone works perfect and am asking $150 for it, if anyone is interested.
Sorry, i messed up on the subject line, had to many things going thru my head while i was posting it.
You may wish to checkout the guys at www.tessies-toys.com They buy and sell all kinds of used and refurbished cell phones. I got a Treo 700 from them and my wife got a Treo 650. They have phones for all carriers so check them out! Good Luck!
Try craigslist.com, you'll have way better luck there. Sometimes, same day.

Sprint Contract Issues

OK, I am really tired of trying to get Sprint to admit that my home area is just not covered good enough. I have the Palm Treo 700wx and I mostly have one bar and sometimes none. I drop lots of calls and so does my wife. She has a RAZR. When one of us travels to another city, it's worse. My contract with Sprint is up in November. Sprint's answer is I need to purchase two new phones and sign a new contract. What a load of crap! I purchased a cheap AT&T phone to see if the reception was any better and it is! How can I get Sprint to let me go 3 months early without paying anything? I want to walk away, but they keep giving me such lousy customer service that I just feel like being their worst nightmare customer now. I really don't wa...

Problems with "push" with Wireless Sync

First off, I upgraded to the 700w after using a Blackberry 7130e for several weeks. I loved the simplicity of the Blackberry, and I particularly loved the push email. I have used the Wireless Sync software to configure my IMAP/POP email account to my 700w (my email client does not utilize an exchange server). However, so far, unlike my Blackberry, it takes upwards of 45 minutes to have my email pushed to my account. Often times, I have to initiate this process by manually syncing the device. I contacted Verizon and they said that this is a known problem that they are working to fix. Does anyone have any further information or suggestions as to how I can fix this problem? I'd like to receive my email in as close to real-time as possibl...

I returned the phone today after this same issue. It is pathetic they release a phone with this type of flaw. I currently use a Treo 650. Sometimes less is more.

Any theme sites that support Treo 700w?

Anyone know of any sites that have themes for the Treo 700w? I had all sorts of themes for my Samsung i730, but having a different size screen really makes it difficult to find themes other than the default few that come on the device.

Can someone point me to a website that has themes or an application that will let me create themes for the 240 x 240 screen size?
Can anyone help me with this?

Home/Toady Screen - Easy Question

The bottom of the home screen says Messaging (left) and Menu (right) is there anyway to change those options? Id like to get messaging on the right and recent calls on the right.

Also, is it possible to get the green phone button on the left to go directly to the dial pad?

Thanks!

Can you use any of these (AIM, Yahoo!, Windows, Skype) messengers on the Verizon Palm Treo 700wx?

If so how?

Thank you for your time and help in advance.
