Palm Treo 700w Review

Palm Treo 700wInfosync World has written up a review on the Palm Treo 700w, and normally I would not post Palm devices on this site, but the 700w, with a rating of 80% just has too much going for it to ignore.

Although it may have some long-time fans crying “abomination”, Palm has shocked the world with the release of the Treo 700w, the company’s first-ever Windows Mobile device. Palm has stated they’re aiming for the “I love the Treo but my company has standardized on Windows Mobile” market and doesn’t expect the 700w to hurt Palm OS sales, and after working with it we have to agree. The Treo 700w is a good first-outing for a Windows Palm with some good features, but doesn’t shock the way the Treo 650 did.

The Treo 700w is powered by an Intel XScale PXA272 processor at a comfortable 312 MHz, the same speed as the Treo 650 but nonetheless quite clippy. 60 MB of the 128 MB included RAM is available for user storage, and courtesy Windows Mobile 5.0 is non-volatile.

Palm has done some interesting things with their first foray into the Windows Mobile world. The Treo 700w runs Windows Mobile 5.0.2 with, naturally, some tweaking from Palm. The biggest customization is the integration of the Call screen into the Today screen, now available from the green Call button.
