Palm Treo 700w vs. XV6700
Posted by Chris Leckness on 02/9/06 in PocketPC, Smart Phones
OK, there is no doubt that right now, Verizon is sitting on top of the World. They have two of the hottest Pocket PC Phones around in their stable.
Reading over at Chris Pirillo’s blog, I found a good tidbit where one of his friends sent a word doc with the pros and cons of the XV6700 when compared to the Palm Treo 700w.
This was a great read and would make one hell of a research item for someone trying to decide which to get.
Personally, having used both (not as a daily device though), I would have to go with the XV6700. The Treo is super, but I lean to the 240 x 320 screen and the peppier processor in the XV6700. As for form factor, I think they both have their advantages. The XV6700 has a larger, slide out keyboard and the 700w has the nice one handed action going for it. If anyone has ever seen me use a device with a keyboard and touchscreen in person, you’d freak out at my mad Kung Foo, one finger on the keyboard and the other holding the stylus skills.
