Treo 700w Slated For January Release?
http://brighthand.com/article/Treo_700w_Coming_in_January
Brighthand has received information that Handango is sending information to its developers that the Palm 700w Treo from Verizon will begin shipping in early January 2006.
My wife is in the market for a new phone and has Verizon. Right now, I am torn between the Treo 700w and the forthcoming Motorola Q, which is based on the Smartphone platform.

Uncle Hansberry,well, I dont know about the wife thing(see my signature(pss age !!))
But this is definately a great news :x-mas:
My dad is also looking for a new phone(to replace his nokia 6670). Perhaps this will be the best devise for him coz he want keypad. Actually he is not a 'geek' like me(!), who is taps the screen with small stylus to dial the number..ha ha 8)

Advancement?
Why is this considered a great product? It has a low rez screen, less processing power, and 64 meg of ram seems small by AXIM X51 standards. Now if this had a vga screen with 128 meg ram with at least the 600 MGHZ processor, it would be a better product. Perhaps there will be a Dell with those specs coming out in 2006? :?

Palm has committed to a GSM version that T-Mobile could pick up, but it will be the 2nd half of 2006. I think Palm worked out an exclusive deal with Verizon for the first few months.

1) It has a square screen to keep the device from being too long without having to have a slideout keyboard. By not having 480X480 it saves on the screen cost and battery life. Keep in mind the pixel count isn't what makes it low or high res. It is the DPI, and devices like the K-Jam and Treo have small enough screens that the DPI of those at 320X240 or 240X240 looks quite good.
2) 64MB of RAM is fine for many people. This device will be purchased by many people that never install a third party app on, and even those that do, 64MB on my K-Jam works quite well.
This is not meant to be a killer spec device with all the bells and whistles. It is meant to be a good phone/PDA combo product that can, by and large, be used without a stylus, without having to slide out the keyboard and provide a familiar and comfortable experience to those making their first entry into the smart phone market. And this thing will outsell the Dell Axim v5X devices 10 to 1.

True!
Yes Ed, this is a good device and not meant to be a killer, but with limited finances, I won't go for something like this until it has the specs and battery life that I think make the switch worthwhile. That may be awhile, but when you have the Axim X50v, you can wait for a do-all kind of device.

From treonaut.com who already has a treo 700w in review, this device has 32MB RAM and 64MB ROM.

Just wondering if by the time Cingular is ready to pick up the 700W whether it will be equipped with the ability to use it's 3G network rather than EDGE.
