treo 700p features - Treo Forums

What features will the treo 700p have that the treo650 doesn't? Is it enough to upgrade from the 650 to the 700?

There has been no announcement of a Treo 700p, only rumors.

Rumors state 64MB RAM, EDVO for CDMA versions, BT 1.2, and OS6 Cobalt. Other than that, nothing extraordinary :rolleyes:

At least there are still rumors (and hope) about the 700p. I would really hate to see the end of the Palm OS.

I don't think you'll see the end of the Palm OS. In fact, my guess is the new Palm Treo will be the showpiece for Palm. They throw a bone to the Microsoft guys and then release a new Treo for their core audience.

Just a hunch...

well, i heard that (and this is my bet too) that since this is the first "co-working" of windows and the palm OS, the windows mobile treo won't be that stable, kinda like an experimental since it's the first time to make use of a windows OS in a palm phone? just a hunch too.

but it really looks cool, if it really is the one posted in the home page of this website.

Yes, that's the official photo. Here's a link to the Treo Windows Mobile Photo Gallery. There are a few photos of the new Treo along with comparison photos with the Treo 650.

I had the i700 windows system and hated it, went to the Treo just for the Palm system. What is the attraction to the Windows OS?

The Palm system is far more stable than the Windows, or for that fact, any Windows OS.

I have such a tough time believing you EVER survive throwing Bill Gates a bone. I'd bet Palm would play H$!! getting access to WM5x internals if they launch a 700p that runs technical circles around the 700w. Besides, Palm is so into incrementalism, we'll be on to satellite phones before Palm releases a Treo with built in WiFi (for example).

Is that why the 650 locks up all the time?

Anybody know if it will have UMTS (3g) technology on it?
