Mostly gadgets, but I'll occassionally get sidetracked...

Are Sprint Palm 755p owners complaining?

Check out the latest on the Palm Blog:

Just last month we announced that the Palm Treo 755p smartphone is available on Verizon Wireless and I wanted to provide some clarification around the Treo Voice Dialing software included.

The Verizon Wireless Treo 755p includes a full version of Treo Voice Dialing at no additional cost. You can find the Treo Voice Dial application in bonus software, either directly on your device by opening the MyTreo application, or from your PC by following the bonus software link of the CD.

Later on in the blog...

As one commenter on the original blog post points out, the Treo 755p on Sprint uses a different voice dial application. The Sprint Treo 755p comes with a trial version of Nuance Voice Control, which provides more advanced features like short email/SMS dictation. After the trial, users can subscribe to Nuance Voice Control service at an additional charge.

So, why do Verizon customers get a full version of voice dialing, but ut appears Sprint users get a demo version and subsequently have to pay for it?

What's slightly funny (probably not for Palm) is reading some of the comments in the original post here, such as,

God, it's so dated. Do you have a design team or are you using copy and paste?

Here's a reason why Verizon should never be given exclusivety lock on a smartphone. By the time it is released to the public, testing took so long that it's already very dated.

 

Let's hope Palm does in fact stage a comeback and give us some decent phones.
