U bet, but actually this would have been a perfect device for me if it had WLAN & at least 320*320 screen resolution :roll:

I spoke with my company's Verizon rep., and they told me that it (the 700w) will be released sometime between mid-December and mid-January. He also told me it will be impossible to miss the "hoopla" surrounding the launch.
I can hardly wait!
Now I have to choose between this critter and the Samsung i730.

I've always wanted a ppcphone device, but one thing always stops me. How do you carry it around? You can't put it in your pocket...even if it's small enough the screen is too fragile. And I've done the belt clip/holster thing before and didn't like it.

Put it in your pocket, faced in. I have done this for a long time with my ppc's and had no problems.

Carrying around a Phone Edition is tough, especially with devices that are as cluncky as, say, the JASJAR. I usually opt for one of two methods...
1) Keep the clamshell closed and in a large pocket, thus protecting the screen face and use a Bluetooth or wired hands-free set. When you need to make/receive a call, you can do so via the headset.
2) Keep the face flipped around and exposed and kept face-in in a pocket that shouldn't receive too much jumbling. A screen protector is a must, even though the metalic surfaces should be able to take a bump pretty well.
I'd rather Phone Editions be more pocket-able, but I still tend to lean toward the "full-bells-and-whistles-awe-inspiring" package. It's petty, I know, but I take pleasure in petty things.

I carried around my i-mate JAM with just a screen protector in my pants pocket all the time. Eventually, after several months, the metal casing showed small signs of wear, but nothing dramatic.
I eventually sold my JAM and switched to Verizon for the i730, but really disliked it compared to the JAM. Since then, I've been without a PPC of any kind and am hotly anticipating the new Treo 700w.
