Have at it kids.

I thought you left. Welcome back.

[dstrauss]

Well, it's all over but the crying....

[naivete]

Is it me, or does it get thicker toward the keyboard end of the unit? Not that happy about the 240x240 res(if confirmed) and no integrated wifi.

holy **** on a stick!


---------------------
EDIT

but it looks to our eyes like it’s 240 x 240 pixels, not 320 x 320. But we’re not 100% on that, ok?

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUURNED! lol

[overcast10]

So what version of the Palm OS will the 700p be? Is anyone thinking of jumping ship. I would love the Windows Media Player to stream live feeds.

Life is over as we know it!

Life is over as we know it!

Well, I called it yesterday:

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.

Just like the Borg, with Micro$oft, resistance is futile.

How the heck is it Verizon branded? They just came out with the 650, it needs to come out on Sprint first (for my personal benefit of course).

I was JUST about to post this. I knew it wouldnt be long after the ppc 6700 was released that info on the new treo would surface.

Can you spell "EVDO"?

They are apparently well ahead of Sprint on deployment, and with this jewel, can you imagine the dollar signs they see at $50-60 per month for wireless broadband?

[t2gungho]

AWESOME! Wifi with the SD card, evdo, 1mp cam, and (hopefully?) bt 1.2. I can't wait.

[dstrauss]

By the way, does his now mean that the Windows crowd gets to experience and enjoy the rants of the Tundy crowd on what a POS the 700w is?

[NRG]

Why does it have to look like such CRAP!!! Do they not listen to us? I thought we wanted a 650 but with EVDO, wifi, and upgraded BT.As far as I am concerned I not going to buy it.

[BenJoeM]

Does this mean we will getting more Windows Mobile users posting this site and asking question like how to turn it on and stuff.

[narbeauchamp]

Well,I guess I know what I won't be buying.With wifi and upgraded BT ,along with memory improvements -I would've been willing to purchase.At that,I might as well buy the enfora sled ,and more software...

[sledgie]

who was that guy that said the new windows treo would not have evdo but just an upgraded wm5? lol. i even say back in the day it wasn't going to be called the 670. sheesh. and to think he made you guys believe it would have the same amount of memory. ha!

still a p.o.s. though no wifi unless you buy a card. oh ok, thanks! that's what i want! won't have sd slot available then! oh what's this! that sd wifi card gets 50k/max? oh good. maybe it's just verizon not wanting wifi...ya...that's it!

+ EVDO
- No wifi, no GPS, and a 240X240 screen.
OS is a draw to me.

Even if it runs freaking OSX I don't think it's that much of a upgrade from my 650. Meh. I am really not moved by any of the current PDA phones so far. I wish the 6700 is a tag smaller.

[n4cer]

I watch a lot of movies / video on my Treo 650 and enjoy the 320 X 320 resolution! I can understand having to drop the resolution to 240 X 240 to accomodate windows mobile but I wonder if the palm version will remain at 320 X320 ? It doesn't seem like they would need to change it for the palm os...but....if it's cheaper to do then I'm sure that is what will happen. If the palm version resolution remains the same then I will upgrade.....if not then I will wait happily with my 650 for the 750 or what ever the heck the next one will be.

[txschafers]

I would probably buy it if the resolution was better. For me I will probably wait on a 320x320 resolution model that follows this one.
