This week I had another package arrive from Taiwan, this time containing the retail version of the MW700 and it's 'bigger brother' the MS800. Although I say bigger brother, the two devices are almost identical, they have the same RAM, ROM and CPU and both include a SiRF Star III GPS chipset. Where they do differ though is that the MS800 is a 3G/HSDPA version where the MW700 is GPRS and EDGE. The MS800 also has a built in radio.&quot;<br /></em> <br /><br /><embed width="480" height="392" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="allowFullScreen=true" allowscriptaccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.swf?mediaId=894907&amp;affiliate=160295" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed><br /><br /><br />If you've been thinking about moving to a WM6 GSM phone, take a look at the 3G-capable MS800.&nbsp; Tracy and Matt's Blog unbox it in this video and towards the end, include a short hardware comparison to the nearly-identical MW700.
