Treo 700w available for Verizon

Palm’s taking orders for the new Treo 700w powered by Windows Mobile. It’s gotten mixed review. Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal still prefers the Treo, saying ‘it doesn’t beat 650’. Treo Central generally likes it, though they’re not thrilled with some elements of Windows Mobile. David Pogue of the New York Times likes the Today screen and the ease of setting up a conference call, but not the 240×240 screen resolution or the creating new appointments. Virtually everyone likes the form factor and its speed, thanks to the Verizon new EV-DO network. Mobile Tech Review says it’s ‘one of the best Pocket PC phones we’ve used’. C|Net likes it as a Windows Mobile device, but its “heft and washed-out screen has us giving the edge to the Treo 650”. Time Magazine refers to it as Microsoft and Palm’s Wondrous Offspring It’ll definitely be a hit with the corporate community. We’ll have to see the Palm version to decide who got it right.
