Begrudgingly I made the move to the 800w once my 650 had finally given up and although I enjoy the "new car smell", I still miss my reliable PDA. I don't know if it's a Windows Mobile issue or hardware but I continue to experience problems with the sound being muted randomly.
No, it's not the physical switch and I highly doubt it's 3rd party apps, as I intentionally removed them all, did a Hard Reset only to experience it again. The unit was replaced by Sprint once, and I was told it was a memory management issue, so I End All Tasks several times a day. Since I attempt to use the device for a wake-up alarm, I even perform a Soft Reset nightly to ensure the device is clear. Still I experience the condition where the sound is muted even though I can see the visual indicator for volume rising or falling as I press the button.
I have learned over the last few months that there are known issues with the speaker phone crackling, the audio volume to be too low or two high, and although none of that is acceptable, I can work around that. This I cannot!
The ONLY way I can recover the sound is through a Soft Reset. I believe it is a byproduct of mail being sync'ed overnight and have now had to set all accounts to update manually. Not very productive for a "smartphone".
Is there a fix for this? Is there a mail client that would let me set downloading for specific hours? Is there any hope? Until this is fixed, I always advise anyone not to go down the path of the Palm PDA, as I wouldn't wish this on anyone else. For the money I paid, I would expect a new generation device to be at least equal in reliability to the predecessors.
I welcome any guidance from those far more advanced than I am with the Palm 800w and/or WM!!!
