Well.

Maybe with windows mobile 2010.



PalmOS,albeit very a simple OS as is, get things done and is tightly integrated with the phone and data connections. With the help of some rather amazing 3rd party apps all the original limitations of PalmOS are gone!



And before you call me a Palm "Fanboy", the treo 650 was the first time i ever tried palm os. And i had at least 3 PPC phones before it so, yeah, PalmOS rocks, At least for me (its not THAT great as is though, its the 3rd party apps that do the magic)



So yeah, Count me to one more on the waiting list for the 700p!

So far, I prefer the BlackBerry 8700. I will say that the 700w is lighter and seems better made than the 650.

If the mail app is not as good as Snapper Mail, I will just wait. Does this have the video capability?

The review is a work in progress - but it is from the perspective of a treo 650 user learning to cope with the new Microsoft interface. So far - he seems to favor the Treo 700w over the 650.

"I have been testing the Treo 700w, which will be sold by Verizon Wireless, to see how it stacks up against the Treo 650, the phone I carry every day.



My verdict: Despite some nice new features, the Windows Mobile software is still inferior to the Palm software for one-handed use on the go. Its crucial email and phone functions are also weaker. And there's a serious bug in its email software that affects individuals, though not corporate users. So the Treo 700w is neither as easy to use nor as powerful as the Treo 650. In addition, the screen on the 700w offers significantly lower resolution than the screen on the 650, and the new model costs twice as much -- $400 versus $200."
