Aside from knocking the Sprint logo off the top right corner, and upping the Windows Mobile version from 5.0 to 5.2, everything else remains the same on this sucka. Per usual, this one plays nice with CDMA, touts 1xRTT / EV-DO connectivity, and rocks a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 1.2, QWERTY keyboard, MMC / SD / SDIO expansion slot, 128MB of built-in memory, speakerphone, IR, and support for DUN. Alltel also throws in ActiveSync 4.2,... and Picsel's PDF viewer as well."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/PalmTreo700w.jpg" /><br /><br />Last week, we posted on a <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=52658">review of the 700wx</a> from Sprint. Alltel has also <a href="http://www.alltel.com/phones/palm/700wx.html">added the 700wx to their lineup</a> with similar pricing: $350 with a two-year contract. So, with Verizon supporting the 700w [<a href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/smartphones/treo700w/pdf/datasheet_Treo700w.pdf">PDF</a>] and Alltel and Sprint offering the 700wx [<a href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/smartphones/treo700w/pdf/datasheet_Treo700wx.pdf">PDF</a>] with double the RAM (64 vs. 32), do you find either phone compelling enough to switch carriers?
