Palm Treo 700wx

A dedicated smartphone that combines the no-nonsense Windows Mobile platform with the integrated business design of Palm Treo, the 700wx is ‘the phone’ to have. Its applauded design has to do with the ergonomics of the phone. Unlike most predecessors, it has square keys which give better press instead of the oval ones. Veering away from the form factor, the Palm Treo smartphone goes the distance when it comes to the specifications. Running on a powerful 312MHz Intel XScale processor CPU, the WinMo 5 UI is the next generation, offering you all the mobile office goodies including Word, Excel and PowerPoint.



Outlook Mobile is included too, and coupled with push e-mail your messaging needs are catered for. Data speeds are more than admirable, with the Palm supporting the EV-DO network offered by Verizon. You get transfer speeds of up to 700kps which is outstanding for a mobile device. The homescreen is yours to customize with all the apps you fancy. A feature that makes it stand out is the ‘ignore with SMS’ feature which responds to your caller with an SMS when you are unable to pick a call.



Bottom Line: For a feature device with features that go the whole nine yards, the Palm Treo 700wx is a must have for any business tailored folk. Coupled with its multimedia abilities, like the 1.3MP camera, music and video players, it’s hard to find fault with the phone. And quoted at over 4.5 hours talk time and 10 days standby, it is yet another winner from Palm Treo.
