Handhelds

While the Palm's Treo has become one of the most popular handhelds; so much so that it's being considered the ipod of the cell phone world, it has competition. This new cell phone has a newer operating system, has a better digital camera, and a faster network through Verizon's BroadbandAccess data service. Lucky for Palm it's their own. The Palm Treo 700W is the newest installment in Palm's Cell phones. It's more advanced, but as the article states, it might not be a better deal than the 650. The 700 is an option, but for some it's the only option. It has a download spead of 400-700 kbps(kilobits per second), compared to the 650's 70 kbps. THe 700 will be priced between $400 and $620, depending on the Verizon service. It has a card slot that will boost the internet performance which isn't available on the 650. While the 650 limits your activities to just one, the 700 allows users to receive email while you jot notes or flip through programs like a regular computer. So while you can choose the 700 with more features and the ability to handle more at once, you might want to weigh in the price. If you want to be able to do more at once, the 700 is probably a good choice, but otherwise, the 650 isn't shabby either.
