Palm Treo 700w / 700wx

ok here's my list of wants in my next Verizon phone...
1. Synch's with Outlook (PALM or Windows okay)
2. Ease of use...
3. surf the web easily...
4. digital possibly tri mode as well...
5. lots of applications available...
6. Keypad usable (no thumb reductions!)
7. cool looking
8. easy to carry around...
9. possible memo recorder

So what should I get or what's coming down the road I should wait for?

Currently using nextel(iDen technology)in Connecticut and looking to switch. Is this 700 on CDMA better than any other smart phone using GSM? Which technology is better? Thanks to those who know for sharing.

Nice one....

Now, all we need is the GSM version, and we're good to go!

Peace,

Since the Treo 700W is out now I figured I'd ask...The 650 in my experience with it had severe reception issues, in areas where a straight cell phone had just barely enough signal to make and receive calls (without a problem despite the low signal strength in such areas) the 650 didn't get a signal at all.

Is this fixed with the 700W? I really really really hope so cause I want this device but not if it can't live up to being a good cell phone as well as a good handheld.

I read somewhere, I forgot where, that the accessories for the 650 would work with the 700W. is this true? Can anyone with both check it out and confirm?
Thanks

Which phone is better?? The 700w or the Samsung i730? What are the pros and cons of both? Thanks in advance

DOES NOT HAVE WI-FI

It is 8:20 on the west coast and the 700w is now on the VZW site to buy!!

Alright, I'm a resident expert on many things, but I don't have inside access anymore. Who has a release date, with a degree of accuracy and I don't ask any question about sources..... 😈

So i've been using one for about 3 days now. Its a very good smartphone. Its very easy to use good layout.

PROs:
EVDO high speed networking
1.2mp camera (kinda grainy but its a phone)
SD card slot
bluetooth 1.2
pretty long battery life
All that good pda/windows mobile stuff

CONs:
No built in WIFI. Wifi card steals the SD slot, so wifi data transfer is pretty useless.
Only 64mb internal memory
Small screen size compared to other models in price range
Locks up quite alot if you do anything memory intensive (due to lack of internal memory)

So far i have not found a way to DUN it. With either windows built in software i added to it, or pdanet.

If your a techno-geek that wants the latest and greatest smartphone, stay...

Hi,
I think I read that it will have a single Compact Flash slot on the top.

1. Is this an accurate statement?
2. Are there going to be any other slots?
3. Will this CF slot handle a CF GPS card?
3a. Will Windows Mobile 5.0 support GPS software/apps?

If 1, is accurate, does anyone know if you can use a CF converter to SD or miniSD?

I've seen a CF converter that will hold TWO different types of cards (17-1). I'm curious if this will allow you to expand the memory slot. Any discussion or thoughts would be great.

Look forward to it- Had a chance to play with it, at $499, it's not a bad deal.... 😎

they are next day airing it to me...ill have it tomorrow

That just seems weak to me. The palm os version has more screen real estate I believe.

already this forum is filled with bull about sprint is better no verizon is well this phone sucks cuz it doesnt have this... SHUT UP! just talk about the facts about the phone and if you must state your opinions dont start arguin over it cuz opinions are lke assholes...eveyones got them so shut up 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿

Does anyone know if it will have any handwriting recognition or graffiti as an input feature. Microsoft usually does but I don't know on this phone.

If someone wouldn't mind, could you report on how well the phone holds up when you get it. Particularly if the phone crashes or soft resets randomly.

Thanks

does anyone know an exact date on this phone's release? also what is the price going to be?
