We have covered the basics of why I like the Treo 700p but now it's time to tell you what I don't like about it.  No digital device is perfect, and while the Treo line is the best of the best, I still have a few items I wish Palm would include:

1 - A faster processor.  Now that we have EVDO the bottleneck seems to be the ability for the device to render and paint the pages on the screen, not the data connection.  Since the processor is so slow (312MHz) it almost seems silly to ask for WiFi.

2 - WiFi.  Not really required until they improve the processor, but WiFi would be nice for when I want lower latency Internet

3 - A hard drive.  128MB RAM is great and all, but why not include a 4GB micro drive in the thing?  Even better yet, 20GB.  This is my digital assistant, my buddy, my pal...  It would be fantastic if I had enough room for all of my TomTom maps, some music, e-mail and documents without having to buy a bunch of SD cards.  Hey, the iPod Nano is smaller than the Treo and all Palm needs to do is find room for the storage itself.

4 - Built in GPS.  Maybe I can do this with the tower based GPS (have not looked very hard yet) but rather than having a bluetooth GPS mouse I would love to have that all built in.

5 - Internal antennae.  Seriously, why do we need that silly thing sticking out like that?  Can't they find a way to build that in?  If Palm can't, maybe they should go ask Apple's engineers, I'm sure they would be able to find a way to get the antennae inside the device while having it heat up to 200 degrees.

6 - 1/8" headphone jack.  The 2.5mm jack is just not cutting it for everyday stuff.  I know it's the standard for headsets, but most Treo owners I know use a Bluetooth headset over wired anyhow.

7 - Include accessories with the phone.  I remember the good 'ol days with the Treo 300 where I got a dock, car changer, wall charger and a basic case if I remember correctly.  With each phone Palm seems to keep taking accessories out and now with the 700p we have the phone, a sync/charge cable, and... uh... I think they give you a stylus.  This is a $650.00 phone, I think Palm can afford to give us $20.00 in plastics to make the experience better.

8 - A NEW OPERATING SYSTEM!!!  I'm not a big fan of Windows Mobile 5 (had high hopes, but they were crushed).  Palm OS 5 is not much better.  What ever happened to these next generation Palm operating systems?  Where is the payoff on that acquisition of BeOS?  Come on Palm, I know you can do better.  While Windows Mobile has not caught up yet they are certainly nipping at your heels!

I was trying to come up with a list of 10 items, but I really could not think much past 8.  While I may have forgotten something this is still a pretty good testament to the quality of the device.  All in all the Treo 700p is good, but a faster processor and more memory would have made it GREAT!
