HELP!!! Wont Vibrate and Ring at the same time!
Can anyone help me with getting my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time. Currently I have it set up to do both under the Sounds & Notifications Menu. However, if the ringer is switched on it will not vibrate even though the box is selected to do so. Anyone else have this problem? Also, how can I change the default ring-tone?

WHY CANT ANYONE HELP ME?!?!?
1.) When I am on a call and I get another call the first call is put on hold but when I switch back the other line doesnt disconnect it just sits on hold. Am I doing something wrong?
(2.) During the day if I dont use my phone for an hour or two it will "freeze." By freeze I mean the screen wont turn back on. Is this a function of the settings that I need to change or just a Windows crash error?
3.) Active sysc (through USB) takes over 10 minutes. PLEASE HELP.

Black & White only?
I just purchased the Treo 700w and of course there is a lot to learn about this phone but one thing I was disappoinited in and have not been able to see an option for is the black and white photography with the camera! Is this standard on all camera phones? Is color photography available on other phones? Can the Treo be made to do it?

can 700w be used as a high-speed modem with a PC?
Is it possible to use the 700w as a high-speed modem with a PC on an unlimited smartphone EVDO data plan? If yes, must you tether it via a USB cable, or can you use Bluetooth? The VZW site does not mention tethering as a possibility with the 700w, though they DO with the Blackberry 7130. The site also states that bluetooth can be used to SYNC to a PC with the 700w, but makes no mention of dial-up capabilities. If it is physically possible, but not technically offered by VZW (and therefore not supported by customer service), how reliable is the connection? I bought a Moto V710 for the express purpose of using it as a bluetooth modem to my PC, which it actually worked as until VZW shut me down. thanks in advance for any advice!

Wireless Sync
Has anyone figured out how to get your wireless sync to stay connected? I sometimes don't get mail from the server for over 2 hours.
I noticed that if you conect to the interent and then close the program, the sync will connect and pull and push my mail.
If anyone has figure it out that would be great.
IS there a FIX comming soon?

Tre0o 700 Hacks
Have both te 6700 and the Treo 700- the 6700 has some great hacks that folks have posted; makes it run much better.
Since these two units both use WM5 would the hacks for the 6700 also apply to the 700W?
email address auto type
I seem to have a problem. When typing an email address into the to field it sometimes suggests the rest of the address from the contacts and some times does not.
When the phone is soft reset it always works the first time...but the first time only. After that you have to type the complete address which is annoying. Anyh idea what is going on?

Running a Script - Phone Requires me to Exit Internet Explorer
I have an Overture account, which is like an EBay account, but it is for Pay Per Click advertising with yahoo. I own a golf reservation company and we book golf for every golf course in Las Vegas. I am trying to access my Overture account to adjust my bids when I am not in the office and my phone does not allow me to run scripts. I can view the site and login, but once I change a bid and try to update the bids in my account, it comes up with an error "Script Warning - A script is causing the device to run slowly. If it continue to run, your device may become unresponsive." If this continues, this phone now becomes useless to me for my work. PLEASE HELP!
