I finally bought a 700w on Verizon. A lot of people seem dissatisfied wit this particular windows mobile implementation, however I'm really pleased with the purchase. I'm a consultant managing 10 or more projects at a time, and just the improved email functionality, broadband access through my laptop, and the greatly improved phone quality make this an extremely good purchase. I guess I could have gone with the 700wx and Sprint but I was a Sprint user previously and had coverage issues with them.
Because my 600 was very troublesome, including interference with various elecronic devices and very poor phone quality towards the end, I am probably not a fair comparison to the 750, and I'm sure the improvements it would bring. Also as to the Palm vs Windows issue, I have to say the implementation of windows on the Treo doesn't really impress me all that much. It's fine and generally functional for what I do, but there the today screen is a little cramped on the smaller screen of the treo, and it seems really designed for a larger screen PDA device.
My real dissatisfaction is with Cingular, who did not value those of us who had stuck with them with 2-3 year old phones enough to try to get their implementation of the 700/750/680 out in a timely manner. I've been waiting for an treo upgrade through them for 9 months living on rumours, and it finally became an issue of professional survival to at least buy something. Maybe if they should offered a "customer return" special that includes payment of my early termination fee with verizon I would think about buying into a 750.
