Epic. Complete. Total. Fail.

So it’s now officially day two since I got the Treo Pro yesterday around mid day. Doug sent me an email a short while ago and in my response email he quickly noticed that the message: Sent from my iPhone was at the bottom of my reply. WHAT?!?! How could that be?!

Well, so far using the Treo I’ve missed three phone calls, had two SMS messages arrive at least an hour late and had more than a few dropped calls. At first I thought it might be a sim card issue – because to be honest I was using an ancient Cingular SIM card in my iPhone 3G. Since Cingular hasn’t been around for quite some time I thought maybe the Treo was taking offense to the card. So, I kept my original thoughts on posting last night at bay and drove to the AT&T store today to get a new SIM card. I can now say the the radio in the Treo Pro is officially mediocre at best. The world over has complained left, right middle and center about how much the radio in the iPhone sucketh. Well – compared to what I’m seeing on the Treo Pro radio (in my home) the failboat has really arrived. I’m now using my iPhone to get phonecalls until I figure out what is wrong (yes I’ve checked the network settings) I just can’t continue to miss phone calls.

So, here’s screen shots of each device, sitting in EXACTLY the same spot, minutes apart. – If you doubt that – look at the times and date. I couldn’t have made it very far 

Yes … that’s 3G with 3 Bars on the iPhone. And ZERO bars of nothing on the Treo Pro. ZERO!!! I have to go outside of my house (which is not lined in lead) in order to get 2 bars consistently on EDGE.

FAIL.

So, Any suggestions? Anything I could be doing wrong?
