The Treo 700w was announced at CES in Las Vegas by Verizon Wireless and Palm on Jan. 4th, 2006 and the phone will be available in Verizon stores beginning Jan. 5th. It will run on Verizon's 3G EVDO high speed network as well as their 1xRTT. EVDO gets between 400 to 700k and 1xRTT gets around 100k/sec. We used the Treo 700w in an EVDO market and page loading and email download speeds are superb. It feels like WiFi, yet you need not be in range of an access point.

We're big fans of Windows Mobile Pocket PC phones here as well as the Treo 650, and in terms of usability, this is a marriage made in heaven. Much as we love the power of Pocket PC phones, they are often a pain to use as a phone, though great as data devices and PDAs. The 700w is easy to hold, a reasonable size to hold to your head when in conversation and hosts many Palm customizations that allow you to use the device easily with one hand.

Palm sees the Treo 700w as a phone first, and it shows in their tweaks. The Today Screen has a speed dial plugin with shortcuts similar to the Treo 650, and there's even a photo dialer (thumbnails of any contacts you wish) on the home screen. Simply tap the photo to dial that person. As with the Treo 650, you can also assign any letter on the QWERTY thumb keyboard to a contact for speed dial-- so you can press "o" to call the office if you desire. To dial someone in your contacts, start typing the first few characters of their name to bring up their name. You can even type in their first initial, a space, then their last name's initial to lookup and dial a contact. There are quite a few Treo 700w accessories already on the market to make life easier. Namely specially designed Treo 700w cases seem to be the most common popular add on for this new device. (other Treo 700w reviews)
