Dieter Bohn over at Treocentral wrote a terrific review of the Treo 700wx
In his final analysis, he says:
The Treo 700wx will cost you $499.99 with a 2-year service plan, $649.99 without, so it's certainly far from cheap. Sprint's unlimited data plan is, though, at just $15 per month. It's available now.
But the line that caught me was this one:
I am going to wrap up this review with a quote about the 700w from Ducker's review that I think applies perfectly to the 700wx: "The Treo 700w is an excellent Windows Mobile device, likely the best that has ever been produced." That title now belongs to the Treo 700wx.
I have to tell you that I love my 700W...it is an incredible device even with its lack of memory. After reading Dieter's review, I can clearly understand why he says:
When a device gets this close to seeming like it's practically perfect you tend to focus on the little things that it misses at the expense of everything that it gets right. The Treo 700wx is this close. Although this review may contain quite a few little gripes, they're little. This is by far the best Treo I've ever owned and probably the best Treo Palm has produced to date.
I did have to chuckle a bit as I read his last few lines which said:
Here's my take: the 700wx is more powerful and has more functionality but WM5 is still less intuitive and easy-to-use then the 700p's PalmOS. Nevertheless, for me, the 700wx is better.
Interestingly enough, when I reviewed the 700P, as much as I liked it, I truly believed that Windows Mobile 5 was significantly easier and more intuitive...I guess it is what you grow up with Deiter. In any event, this is a MUST READ REVIEW so click the link below to check out what Dieter had to say.

Best review yet - Thanks
I think that Palm hit a home run here. The problem for them is price. It seems that with all the devices being released with lower pricepoints, Palm is going to have to adjust pricing. If you caught Business Week today, they indicated Palm's quarterly revenues missed by $30 million. They claimed it was due to poor Treo sales impacted by the $199. Moto Q.
I think it's due to more choices. RIM, Motorola and HTC are hardly standing still and Cingular is getting into it late with the 750.
