Despite the fact that it doesn't have WiFi, or more RAM, or a better screen, the Treo 700w is still a fine little device. It's primarily business-oriented, with a minimum of luxuries--practically the very definition of the Treo line. But as with its p...

It was rumored to exist for a long time and was finally shown at CES this year. And it was worth the wait. It turns out that the Treo 700w is not only Palms first Windows Mobile device, but it is a great one as well.

There is little bad to be said about Palms Treo 700w. If you are a fan of Microsoft OS devices, or if you simply want a powerful and easy to use PDA phone, the 700w is my top pick. The form factor and ergonomics are very nice, and Palms own tweaks to...
