Amazon.com Product Description

A lot of folks said it would never happen, but here it is: A Palm device running Windows Mobile software. This isn't just any device, either. It's the latest version of Palm's wildly popular Treo series of Smartphones. Everything that's great about the Treo hardware is here, plus all the power of Windows Mobile 5.0.

<small><b>View PowerPoint Mobile presentations.</b> <small></td></tr> </table> With the Treo 700wx, you can experience broadband-like download speeds using Sprint's EV-DO technology. Simply put, everything you need to do your work on the move, and at blazing speeds, has arrived.

<B>Design</B>
Under the hood, the Treo 700wx features 128MB of RAM (60MB available for end user storage) and an Intel XScale 312MHz processor. The design retains the same basic form factor as the Treo 650 with a few changes. Aesthetically, the new Treo has more angular lines and a more professional-looking gray color. At 6 ounces, it's also slightly lighter than its predecessor. The button layout above the full QWERTY keyboard has been changed to accommodate the Windows Mobile 5.0 interface, and the screen sports 240 x 240 resolution.

Like the Treo 650, the top of the 700wx features an expansion card slot for SD, SDIO, and MMC memory and expansion cards, and get this: Unlike the 650, the 700wx supports the Palm Wi-Fi card. Up top there's also an infrared port for line of sight data transfers, as well as a handy switch for turning off the phone's ringer. Below the screen, a five-way navigator controls most of the phone's menus and operating system functions. The left side of the unit features a volume up/down toggle plus a handy user-customizable button that can be assigned to any phone or PDA function. The rear of the unit houses a loudspeaker, as well as the 1.3 megapixel camera unit. A touchscreen stylus can be tucked away on the right side of the phone. Meanwhile, a combined charging, data, and accessory attachment port, called the Palm "multi-connector" is housed on the bottom of the unit, as is a standard 2.5 mm stereo headset jack.

<B>Calling and PDA Features</B>
Like the Treo 650, the Treo 700wx's phone and PDA functions are designed to provide an integrated, seamless experience--only this time it's all handled by Windows Mobile software. The hallmark of the Windows Mobile experience is the "Today" screen that summarizes all the important information you need to make it through the day. Here you'll get message notification, upcoming appointments, dialing functions, and a Google Web searching all in one spot.

As a phone, the Treo 700wx features all the functionality folks expect from a handset, including a handsfree speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones (polyphonic MIDI, MP3, WAV and video ringtones are supported), a vibrate mode, and picture caller ID. Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile combines email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes into a single application that seamlessly integrates with the 700wx's phone functions. Meanwhile, headsets, car kits and other wireless peripherals can also be paired with the unit via Bluetooth (the Bluetooth 1.2 specification is supported).

Staying productive on the road is made possible by the Microsoft Office Mobile suite, which includes Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile. You also get Picsel PDF Viewer for viewing PDF document attachments, and the File Explorer application makes it easy to browse the files on your 700wx.

<B>Messaging and Internet</B>
The really big news about the 700wx is that it supports Sprint's EVDO mobile broadband service, allowing you to get DSL speeds wherever you have broadband data coverage. And what can you do with all that speed? Surf the Web faster than ever before using the bundled Internet Explorer application, or log into Pocket MSN and check your Hotmail, use MSN Messenger, or browse the MSN Mobile portal. Robust SMS and MMS functionality is built into the Windows Mobile interface, too.

One of the most important tools bundled with the 700wx is Microsoft ActiveSync, which allows you to quickly synchronize your device's tasks, calendars, email, and contacts with your desktop. You also get Exchange ActiveSync, an application that lets you synchronize data with an Exchange server. Syncing can be done via USB, or wirelessly via Bluetooth.

<B>Imaging and Entertainment</B>
Another great feature of the 700wx is that it supports Windows Media playback right out of the box. With Windows Media Player 10, Palm users can finally play streaming and downloaded video and audio content in a variety of formats, even purchased music from "Plays For Sure" supporting stores. You can also keep your tunes loaded on a memory card and listen to stereo sound wherever you roam (requires an optional stereo headset adapter).

The Treo 700wx's built-in camera sees a bump in performance with the ability to take 1.3 megapixel (1280 x 1024) stills. The camera also features a 2x digital zoom, a self portrait mirror, and automatic light balancing. While the camera is great for taking stills, it can also function as a camcorder, allowing you to capture MPEG4 video to the unit's memory. An integrated media application organizes your captured photos and videos.

And last, but certainly not least, the Treo 700wx keeps the fun going when you've got some downtime with great games. Bubble Breaker and Solitaire ship with the handset, but more Windows Mobile games are available.

<B>Vital Statistics</B>
The Palm Treo 700wx weighs 6.0 ounces and measures 4.40 x 2.30 x .90 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 360 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the CDMA 850/1900 frequencies, as well as the EV-DO and 1xRTT data frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews:

Call Waiting Disconnects Your Call.......2007-05-16

There is one huge problem with this phone. When you're on a call and a second call comes in - the sound on your first call drops! Most people think that the first call was ended. Though it appears that way, the sound goes dead both ways on your first call.

I am amazed that this has not been fixed and was not disclosed when I bought the phone. Search on Treo 700wx and call waiting in a search engine. You'll find a ton of complaints about the same bug.

Palm - do some better testing - this is a basic feature!!!!

The absolute worst phone I've ever owned.......2007-04-30

This phone caused me problems from the first day I had it. Synching with my computer took eleven calls to tech support. Hooking up email support took three days and two visits to my office from the Altell account manager. Even though I have a nation-wide corporate plan, the phone would turn itself off when I traveled more than 50 miles from my office, and all emails would stop completely. The Bluetooth connection turns itself off randomly and sometimes required a soft re-boot (remove and reinstall the battery) just to allow me to reconnect. In just one month I had to do seven hard re-boots (remove the battery, hold down the power key while reinstalling the battery) just to unfreeze the phone.

Last week I called Altell and demanded that they change me to a Blackberry at no charge. Now I have a brand new Blackberry 8703e which set up on my company's server in less than five minutes. It has never dropped a call or failed a Bluetooth connection.

Don't waste your time with a Palm Treo; get a Blackberry instead.

very good phone and pda.......2007-04-24

Now I am using this phone over 2 months and have following obeservations
1. Sprint internet is pretty fast and cheap too.
2. Touchscreen is great
3. I downloaded google maps and that works great on this phone. very very helpful.
4. The phone is very easy to use. making calls, accepting calls, searching contacts its all on the first screen.
5. Outlook Calendar is good.
6. The drawbacks are that its little bulky and you cannot save a new contact from a saved number. you have to write it again which can be little annoying.

I have not used any other pda before so cannot make comparisons but I like this phone

Great network, poor PDA for the price........2007-04-14

The Palm OS version is much better, but I did somewhat like using this version as well. I'm giving this phone 4 stars because of the network it is running on, but the phone itself is not the best. Palm ALWAYS comes out with a phone with limited memory, then comes out with a minor update later with a little bit more RAM. There is far cheaper phones with more memory out there, which is sad, seeing as Treo's are very high priced. Palm came out with the Treo 600, then came out with the Treo 650 with a better screen and a but more memory. Now there is talk of a Treo 750, with the same type of upgrades. This has caused me to totally give up on Treo's. For Palm to milk us customer over and over again, with small upgrades, shows no respect. Palm also outsources their customer care, so good luck in getting help. The ONLY perk is Sprint only charges $15 dollars a month for PDA access. Which is far less then the $30, $40, and $50 that T-Mobile, Verizon and Cingular charge for the same type of access.

If you want a PDA, go with the Q or PPC. Unless you like wasting your money on a phone, just so the company can come out with a phone with a few upgrades later on. I respect Palm because they are an American company, but I will never buy anything from them again. Which is a complete 180 from my stance just a few years ago.

Most unstable product I have ever owned.......2007-03-31

I have owned the 700wx for about 4 or 5 months now and it seems that it gets more and more unstable as every month passes. On bad days I will manaully rest the phone 2 or 3 times a day. 90% of the problems start when I make/recieve a phone call and try to use the bluetooth (I have the P510 headset). When the product works - it is great - once on a call with the bluetooth - it never has a problem - but it is always "exciting" when I want to make or recieve a call - never know if a "melt down" is about to happen. I do not always have to reset - but many times I will have to hang up and work through getting the bluetooth to play nice. I work in a high tech environment and currently work with 6 people that have either a 700p or 700w/wx - mine seems to be the worse but they all have their share of horror stories at some level. I have tried to work with Palm but they say that everything is up-to-date and since the problems are not consistently reproducable there is nothing they can do to troubleshoot.

My recommendation is stay away from the windows version - the palm version is not perfect but a much more stable product.
