"Treo 700p (Verdict: Solid)"
Pros: More stable, it doesn?t reboot all the time, it has a cleaner feel, it supports 2gb
Cons: Processor, Battery Power, and the "hum"
Summary: You can read our review in detail at: http://spungle.blogspot.com/2006/05/treo-700p-verdict-solid.html
...We love the fact that you can assign ringtones to groups of contacts as well as individual contacts, allowing you to have you?re coworkers ring in to the theme song of He-Man and for family members to ring-in to the theme of Facts of Life. Versamail 3.5 is awesome with preset setting for GMail and memory of recently used addresses. We didn?t get a chance to use any streaming video applications, but we expect to have an in-depth review of MobiTV in the near future.
We weren?t too impressed with the battery power. We found that screen brightness was most definitely the limiting factor in the longevity of the battery power, and that using the EvDO did not significantly change the power usage when compared to the 650. We also were a little annoyed gentle hum that was present when the screen brightness was on the second to lowest setting. We?re not sure what that?s about, but if it?s anything like the MacBook hum, someone will probably post about it and you?ll be thrilled to death with everyone?s story about a humming 700p.
Other than that, it?s a solid device. More memory is always a plus, Palm OS 5.4.9 is a must, 1.3 mega pixel camera is cute, and the not so fast, yet to be updated 312mhz processor is a disappointment when coupled with EvDO.
