Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 02:30 PM
"For businesses and individuals who want the latest all-in-one mobile communications and business-productivity solution, Palm, Inc. and Verizon Wireless today announced the availability of the Palm® Treo(TM) 700w smartphone, the first Treo smartphone to take advantage of Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess service on its EV-DO network. The Treo 700w smartphone also is the first Treo smartphone to run the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system, bringing the hallmark Palm ease of use to Windows Mobile for the first time. It combines a great mobile phone with high-speed wireless data access to email(1) and business applications. The Treo 700w smartphone goes on sale tomorrow and joins the Treo 650 smartphone based on the Palm OS® platform on the Verizon Wireless network."
Fast on the heels of the XV6700, here comes the 700w. Almost -- stores are supposed to have them tomorrow. ;) There's a huge thread on HowardForums with people planning to pick the device up. The device will cost $399 (after $100 rebate with a 2-year voice+data contract). One controversy remains: the top-linked press release clearly states "128MB of memory and 60MB of dedicated user storage", but the screenshots on the above-linked thread shows 25MB of program memory. 8O If anyone gets their hands on one and can comment on this issue, post back in this thread.
