Palm Treo 700wx & Verizon

[NOIC]

Has anyone heard if Verizon (Or Alltel) will be offering the 700wx in the near future?

[BoxWave]

Depends on what 'soon' is... I'm going to go with a "no" though. At least anytime soon.

Based on the latest info over at EngadgetMobile mid December for Verizon to get the Treo 700wx. Rockafella has very good inside info over at HoFo.

More Memory is what I saw...

My fear is that we are again in the dool-drums of the "cutting innovation" of the Palm teams (read in heavy sarcasim). How about increasing the DPI to 480x480 - or be bleeding edge and come out with something new in form factor.

Don't get me wrong - I absolutely love my 700w (although I continue to have one hell of a time with ActiveSync - but that is another post) but Palm is a very conservative orginization and not one to move quickly to demonstrate bleeding edge. Once they feel they have a hit, and yes they do with this form factor, they tend to sit on their laurels until innovation passes them by.

For once I wish they would hold the lead on innovation and take this device to newer and greater levels - be creative...

Well another year on my Verizon plan before I upgrade - I would only hope that by then Palm would have something better to offer than jusy more memory in their next Window Treo device.
