Verizon (Finally!) Releases the Treo 700wx
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 08:30 PM
In traditional Verizon fashion, now that WM6 has been announced, Verizon finally has caught up with the previous stage: they've just released the 700wx, which is identical in all aspects to the 700w but has a much more adequate 64MB of RAM as opposed to the 700w's meager 32MB. Apparently, they've also (finally!) added tethering support.
The price is $399 with a 2-year contract, plus there's an additional $100 mail-in rebate, or $299. They're still selling the 700w, too (back stock?) for $389 and an additional $150 off (or $239). As a 700w user, though, I'd say that if you're interested in one of the two, definitely get the 700wx over the 700w -- it's well worth the price difference. Or... you could just wait for a WM6 device. ;) Me, I'm planning to wait -- it's not worth the money to upgrade to an older-OS device with just more RAM.
