Treo 700w Release
The new Treo 700w has been released by Palm and Verizon Wireless. A story by PC Magazine has some pretty good coverage on the subject even though there is a difference between what the article states and what Verizon’s site shows for basic specifications. The big improvements that the Treo 700w is reported to deliver over the Treo 650 are the ability to use the phone to connect your laptop to the Internet using the EV-DO technology, the improved camera resolution, and the ability to access wi-fi (802.11b) networks using an expansion card in the SD slot. The wi-fi SD card is available on the Palm web site for $99. The Treo 700w is also reported to run Microsoft® Windows Mobile 5.0. I will hold my praises on that change until I can get my hands on one of these puppies.
Update: It looks like La Shawn Barber has been waiting on the Treo 700w after being a dedicated Treo 600 user for over a year. I look forward to hearing what she has to say about the new Treo 700.
