I'll be perfectly honest, I think this argument is completely bogus.
What else
can be done?
GPS & Wifi are technically both up to the carrier, not Palm. If Sprint wants those, then they will be implemented.
It's a front-keyboard device. That is a Treo. Not sure how else to make it much different.
It runs WM6, Rev A, internal antenna 320x320 resolution (higher than most Wm5/WM6 devices, including the Mogul) and they have excellent battery life and high build quality. It'll also probably have A2DP like the 750.
Finally, what makes Palm WM devices better is how the optimize the OS and tweak it. If you never used a 700wx, you'd never know, but it kicks the snot out of anything HTC offers. Look at how fast a beta WM6 runs on the 750...it has 312mhz processor for god's sake.
Video. The 700wx has 47mb of available RAM--how much does any other device on the U.S. market offer?
Not that you endorsed the Mogul, but that is hardly an *UPGRADE* either--in fact it's the
least they could have done while still calling it a 6
800.
In the end though, Palm is an OEM and they build devices for Carriers, not the people. So any real blame goes to Sprint/Verizon for not wanting
more features.
But go ahead...build your dream Treo device and tell me what it'll have it (keep it realistic and with current available technology)
I think 700wx owners, who are relatively happy already with their devices, will welcome these changes (including probably a thinner, better looking device).
