How is it that the Treo 700wx is faster than basically anything else out there?

Big D5 - I am sure you will not have any shortage of usage opinions/critiques for the 800 (me included) to base your decision on. Personally (and I won't go into too much detail here, that is for another thread) if I can have a 700wx with GPS, more memory and faster speed.....I AM THERE!!!!!!!

My only beef with the 700 was the tiny screen. Not many PPC apps (games especially) worked with the tiny square screen, as most assumed 320x240 minimum. Now that the new 800w will be 320x320, I think that issue will disappear for me.

Nevertheless, it may be higher resolution, I still wish the screen size would be bigger. For me, smaller is not better for a PDA, a phone maybe, but not a PDA. Add a half an inch to the height and width and correspondingly make the screen bigger, then I'd be much happier. This is what I liked about some Blackberry's. They were easier to hold and thumb-type on, AND easier to read the screen.

I still have my old 700w. I wish I had a 700wx, but upgrading was just too darned expensive for a simple RAM upgrade to the 700wx. The 800w may just be the one I finally upgrade to.

One thing to add for the ugly factor.. you can spruce up your 700w(x) with a simple skin from skinit.com.... I wanted something a bit more feminine... and skinit had just the thing, I put it on Christmas day (yeah gifted myself, though it was only $15) and its like new to this day so they last. Now when the 800 comes out it will have the rubberized feel so they say.. no skin but at least we have a color choice.. I HOPE!
