    • Product Rating: 3.15 star(s) Palm Treo 700w - gray (Verizon Wireless)
      by Bonnie Cha
    • Pros: The Treo 700w runs Windows Mobile 5 and sports the same great, compact form factor of the Treo 650. This smart phone also comes with Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and EV-DO support.
    • Cons: Unfortunately, the Treo 700w doesn't include integrated Wi-Fi and has a somewhat poor 240x240-pixel resolution.
    • Comments:
      Back in September, Palm, Microsoft, and Verizon Wireless released a few tantalizing details about the Palm Treo 700w, then called the Palm Treo on Windows Mobile 5, but left us wanting much more information on the long-fabled smart phone. Finally, at CES...

      This hybrid PDA/cell phone combines Palm's hardware with Microsoft's OS--and the result is a pretty happy union. ...

    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Palm Treo 700p
      by Jeff Carlson
    • Pros: EvDO networking speeds; wireless modem option; high-resolution display; slimmer, sleeker design than previous models; includes 1.3 megapixel camera and MP3 music player; uses Mac-friendly Palm OS.
    • Cons: Internet access to your Mac from the phone is Bluetooth only; only Verizon or Sprint service currently; expensive.
    • Comments:
      The Treo 700p is one of the best smartphones on the market, despite its relative expense. And it's even better if you want to take advantage of its speedy Internet access via the evolution-data optimized cellular data networking standard. ...

    • Product Rating: 5 star(s) Review: Palm Treo 700w
      by Michael Oryl (editor)
    • Pros: EV-DO, one-handed operation, OTA sync/push email
    • Cons: Poor camera, low-res display, no scroll wheel
    • Comments:
      It was rumored to exist for a long time and was finally shown at CES this year. And it was worth the wait. It turns out that the Treo 700w is not only Palm's first Windows Mobile device, but it is a great one as well. ...

    • Product Rating: 3 star(s) Review: Palm Treo 700p
      by Ben Patterson
    • Pros: Bright, vivid screen; speedy EV-DO access; wireless modem support over Bluetooth or USB; great personal and corporate e-mail support; impressive multimedia options
    • Cons: No Wi-Fi; no voice dialing; so-so conference calling; Palm OS needs updating; Menu key deserves to be up with the other navigation controls
    • Comments:
      The 700p brings speedy 3G data access to the Palm OS line of Treos, along with wireless modem capabilities, Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and even live TV. Ben Patterson gives this long-anticipated smartphone the once-over. ...

    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Palm Treo 700p - PDA phone Reviews by Mobile Tech Review
      by Lisa Gade
    • Pros: Fantastically easy to use in terms of ergonomics and software. Still the best smartphone on the market for one-handed use. High resolution display is a treat as always, and the Treo 700p has the processing power and memory to keep all things running smoot
    • Cons: Though the 700p is an excellent PDA and phone, it doesn't wow us with new features which will send Treo 650 owners eagerly down the upgrade path. EVDO will likely be the biggest selling point for current Treo owners, and added memory will please power use
    • Comments:
      No one wants a good thing, nay a great thing, to end. So it is with the Palm OS Treo line. It never ends and instead constantly evolves. The Treo 600 was a hit in its day several years back and the venerable Treo 650 did better, defining the PDA phone and...

    • Product Rating: 3 star(s) Palm Treo 700w - Phone Reviews by Mobile Tech Review
      by Lisa Gade
    • Pros: Fantastic usability by Windows Mobile Pocket PC phone standards and not bad at all compared to regular phones and the venerable Treo 650. Good keyboard that's always ready (no need to slide it out and perhaps wait for the screen to rotate), feels great in
    • Cons: 240 x 240 resolution means you'll see less on screen and will have to wait for some third party applications to support that resolution. 32 megs of RAM is low— this is the only Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC we can think of that has less than 64 megs. This
    • Comments:
      The Treo 700w was announced at CES in Las Vegas by Verizon Wireless and Palm on Jan. 4th, 2006 andwas available in Verizon stores beginning Jan. 5th. It costs $499 with a two year contract and you'll get $100 off if you get both...

      by Greg King
    • Pros: Colorful, Email on the go, and in real-time, Works with Exchange, Quality build, Decent battery life, Certainly a drool worthy gadget
    • Cons: QWERTY keyboard is difficult to get used for those without hands like a child, Picture cams on phones are all by worthless to this editor
    • Comments:
      The 700w from Palm packs a lot into it's small frame. This smartphone runs on the feature-rich Windows Mobile 5.0, includes a 1.3MP camera, good battery life and a full QWERTY keyboard. ...

      by Mobile Gazette
    • Comments:
      . It's also very heavy at 180 grams, making it one of the heaviest handsets on the market. Still, it appears to be a capable smartphone and we look forward to seeing a version for the rest of the world. ...
