another point...EVDO. Why Verizon didn't put this in their 650 is beyond me.

Several smartphones have voice-activated dialing, where you pronounce the digits of the number you are trying to call and the phone will dial it. (E.G., the Samsung I730 has this feature). Do we know if the TREO 700P will have this feature? That's what I am holding out for!!!

With the addition of 3rd party software, you can add voice dialing to the Treo 650. I agree, it would be nice if the new Treo's included a slick version of voice dialing that supported Bluetooth headsets.

Are you saying that the current 650, even with the 3rd party software,doesn't support Bluetooth ? Does the 650 have a speakerphone? Will the 700W? I assumed that since the voice recognition software is part of the Windows OS for smartphones (like the Samsung I730) that it would automatically be part of the 700W and that this would be a great selling point. Thanks for the quick response.

It's doesn't support Bluetooth voice dialing.

It would definitely be an improvement over the 650. We'll see...fingers crossed.

That's a great suggestion. Once we get official specs from Palm, we'll do something on the site that compares the two.

Right now, the specs are very limited. I would also add that it will be difficult to compare the two in some respects.. it's not necessarily an apples to apples comparison.
