Treo 700p Review

New Palm OS Based Smartphone Improves Upon Treo 650

The Palm Treo 700p is the latest smartphone from Palm featuring the Palm operating system. I've been using the Palm Treo 700w since it's release six months ago, but was anxious to see what improvements the Palm Treo 700p had over it's predecessor, the Palm Treo 650. As a Mac user, there was the obvious joy of going back to a smartphone that officially supports the Mac platform, although Mark/Space just recently announced Missing Sync for Windows Mobile, offering support for the Mac users considering the 700w.

The Treo 700p offers a nice collection of enchancements over its predecessor, the Palm Treo 650.
