Palm Treo 700w Mini Review

Treo 700w

Well, after two months with the new Treo 700w, I feel qualified to provide an informed and realistic review of the device.

xman has moved to the dark side

Yes, there has been a serious disturbance in the force. I have been unquestionably drawn over to the Dark Side.

This post is via my spanking new EVDO enabled Palm Treo 700W just moments after stepping out of my local Verizon Wireless store! I debated between the Treo 700W and the XV6700 but decided to throw caution to the wind and take a walk on the wild side.

Windows Mobile Smartphone vs Phone Edition

SmartphonePPC

A friend of mine recently asked me for advice on choosing between a Windows Mobile Smartphone vs. Phone Edition device.

Hmmm... Maybe GPRS/EDGE might not be too bad after all!

Thanks to gps on Howardforums, here are the specs and a few pics of the upcoming Cingular 8100 (no camera) / 8125 (camera) Windows Mobile Phone Edition device:

  • Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone Edition
  • 128MB SDRAM / 64MB Flash ROM
  • GSM / GPRS / EDGE Quad-Band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
  • Class 10 Multi-slot
  • Bluetooth / WiFi / Infrared / Mini-USB / Mini-SD
  • Built-in Microphone and 3D Surround Speakers w/ External Stereo Audio Jack
  • I'll pass on the Sprint PPC-6700

    Well, I came eXtremely close to ordering a PPC-6700 from Sprint, but decided to call around to see if any local Sprint stores had live units that I could inspect prior to making the plunge.

    The hunch paid off and I found a Sprint PCS store at Park and Preston in Plano that had a demo unit that I could play with. After 10 minutes with a live PPC-6700 the verdict is ... Drum roll .... I will wait.
