First I bought the Treo 300. Worked great, other than the flimsy lid, but they replaced that. No big deal.
Next I bought the Treo 600. Loved everything about it, until I started having the network search issue. I went through 3 Treo600s hoping to get one that didn't exhibit the problem.
Now I am on my 4th Treo 600. My latest replacement was the 'no camera' version. It doesn't have an ESN in the range, but now, even with a nearly full battery, it has the "no service" issue when I try to place calls. The "no service" message just seems to be a replacement for "network search". What a piece of junk.
To make matters worse, I get a letter in the mail today that PalmOne knows that I've had several phones replaced, so they offer me a free accessory to make me feel better. I don't want a stinking accessory!! I just want a phone that I can use for over 3 months without having battery issues!!! This is absolutely ridiculous. I feel like maybe I should buy the 650 just so I don't have to deal with it anymore, but how do I know they won't have similar issues with that phone? I'm sure it will have its own share of problems. Can't palm do just a wee bit more reliability testing?
End of rant.
