At first glance, you would think that the newest Palm Pilot Treo handheld PDA smart phone is just like its relatives in the Treo line. However, if you look a little closer at its features, you will realize that the Palm Pilot Treo 700p PDA smart phone is just that – it’s one smart looking device. Just a few highlights of the changes you can expect include more memory and support for the EV-DO. While you won’t see Wi-Fi or the hottest operating system on it, you do get better software and connectivity which makes this Palm Pilot Treo 700p a solid winner for many PDA users.

Some of the design of the 700p Treo is the same as its predecessors. The color, dimensions and weight are relatively the same and the QWERTY keyboard is unchanged except for one thing. The keys are now backlit and shaped more rectangular. This layout offers people with bigger fingers better maneuverability. Overall, the Palm Pilot Treo 700p feels pretty comfortable in your hand whether you are typing an email or making a phone call.

The display screen is 2.5 inches and supports over 65,000 colors which makes it a vibrant, clear viewing window in which to see your emails, images and menu items. You still have the navigation controls, only in a slightly different place. There is still the five way navigation button and quick buttons for your calendar, emails and such. The expansion slot is located at the top with the ringer switch and an infrared port. On another part of the Palm Pilot Treo 700p, you will find the headset jack, the camera lens, speakerphone and the port with a multi-connector.

In regards to the Palm Pilot Treo PDA battery, it is replaceable and can be recharged when necessary. Part of your Treo 700p package includes a software CD, USB cable, an AC adapter and not much else. Therefore, you probably want to purchase a Palm Pilot PDA Treo aluminum case to protect your device, especially since parts of it are plastic and could crack if dropped.

With the Palm Pilot Treo 700p, you get a 312 mHz processor and user accessible memory of around 60 MB. There’s more than that but the applications like email, Word, Excel, and other productivity software and synchronization applications take up some space. You have IrDA wireless connectivity and Bluetooth but no Wi-Fi or GPS. However, many people don’t seem to mind that.

Phone-wise, this Palm Pilot Treo 700p does a good job at keeping calls on the line. The quality is good and when switching to speakerphone, you lose just a bit of volume but still it’s an overall good feature to have. Plus, your Bluetooth headset will integrate well.

It’s not the cheapest Palm Pilot 700p Treo PDA on the block but it is also not the most expensive either. In fact, when you are willing to sign a longer contract, you just might get a discount on your Palm Pilot 700p Treo PDA. So head to your nearest Sprint retailer and give it a try.
