Calm down Treo.
As I’m writing this my treo is mixing quite a beat. It’s not coming from it though, it’s coming through my stereo. Normally this happens only when I’m about to get a message. Tonight though it has gone on for more than a minute. The same beat over and over again.
This now on top of several other problems I have had. It has locked up twice. Also about half of the incoming calls fail. When someone calls I hear the call, I can answer it but I can’t hear the caller. When this happens I say “sorry I’ll call you back” and hang up. Then I call them back. Most of the people that call me have been “trained” to deal with this. I recently tried the firmware upgrade. No help. Next step call cingular.
I have been putting off calling cingular because every time I call a cell phone company (both cingular and verizon people have done this) I end up getting some goofy person that decides to unload their life story on me. The last time it was some bubbly chick asking me how it is to live in Northern California and telling me a very long winded story about some uncle with a house somewhere that wants her to move out. Meanwhile I take the phone away from my ear, stare at it awkwardly for 10 seconds then start listening again.
Goofy people. Anyway I can’t bash on the treo all that much. The touch screen, QWERTY keyboard and the ability to easily read sports news (wap.yahoo.com) anywhere I go is very handy.
