Treo 700 Windows vs. 700 Palm. Which one should I buy?

Question

Hi,
I currently have the Treo 650 but want to buy the Treo 700. Which one should I get? The thing I do not like about the 650 is that the internet is too slow; when I sync my schedule at work it also syncs my calendar. It does not give me an option to check mark it not to. Can someone tell me what the difference is and when has less problems? Thank you!

Answer 1

I suggest the 700p (palm). The reason I say that is any extra programs you may have bought for the 650 will work with the 700p and you would have to start over with new programs if you went with the Windows OS.

As far as speed goes, the 700 now has EVDO technology which really speeds up the communications process. You ought to read up on that technology, pretty interesting stuff. I've never used the 650 so I can't compare the speed between the two, but most people I've talked to seem pleased with the faster speed of the 700p.

I've also read that the 700p tends to be more stable than the 700w (fewer lockups and crashes), but I have no direct experience with the 700w

Answer 2

Definately the Treo. Palm doesnt sync well with Windows or Mac. There is an incompatability issue. I've tryed it myself. The Treo has an enhanced internet connection in the 700. The sync bugs have been worked out.The calender is now seperated and can be auto-synced or manualy.
