Technical comparison of the Treo 650, Treo 700w, Treo 700p and PPC-6700
Benjamin J. Higginbotham

Palm has now announced their new Smart Phone the Treo 700p. I am excited to see how this phone stacks up against the 650, 700w and PPC-6700. I typically don't like to review a product until I have been able to play with it for a while, but to get everyone excited, here is a grid comparing th 4 top Smart Phones on the market today.

Remember that better specs don't always translate into a better product. Until users get the Treo 700p in their hands we really won't know how it stacks up. From a pure technical perspective, it does look cool though.

Suprised to see in this comparison that 700P is about one half inch larger that the 650. I don't really believe it!!

Well, it looks like either Ben is lying, Treo's lying about their own specs, or their both right:

That is interesting. Maybe the spec sheet is wrong, or maybe they meant to say that it includes the antannae.

Interesting... Guess we'll find out when they beocome available.
