(Click here for larger image)From a hardware standpoint, the 700wx appears to be virtually identical to the
Treo 700w. It runs a 312 MHz PXA270 processor with 128 MB of flash (60 MB user accessible), has built-in Bluetooth and a 1.3 Mpixel camera. Expansion is provided by means of an SD/SDIO/MMC card slot, and the rechargeable Li-ion battery is removable.
One interesting hardware feature new to the 700wx is built-in dial-up networking using the USB port. The phone becomes a wireless modem for a laptop, accessing the Sprint EvDO network at broadband speeds up to 700 Kbps. Palm touts this feature as an alternative to WiFi.
PCmag.com has published a review of the Treo 700wx. Interestingly,
PCmag claims the 700wx has more memory than the 700w, but our reading of the specs shows them to be identical. Reviewer Sascha Segan says the camera "seems slightly improved" from the 700w. Read the
