but through your data access. If you have unlimited data, then you
don't pay extra (except to the VOIP provider) for calling. The only
VOIP services I know of are compatible only with Windows Mobile devices,
and I'm not sure if that makes them automatically compatible with the
T700W. However, the main problem is the data speed. On Windows Mobile
devices that VOIP has been made available for, the method of data
communication has been through a Wifi card. Now, the T650 and T600 have
a Wifi sled, but they are PalmOS and I have yet to hear of a VOIP app
for them. As far as I know there are no Wifi sleds or cards for the
T700W. So, what you are left with is the data connection for your
cellular network. For Cingular and Tmobile, the T650 can go at EDGE
speeds where available, which means all of 100-200Kbps, not really
enough to handle VOIP. For Sprint and Verizon, the T650 also can only
communicate at around that level give or take. However, with the T700W
on Verizon, it can use the EVDO network which communicates at a much
faster rate which could presumably support VOIP. Skype is a non-VOIP
form of Internet Telephony that could also work, but has the same
bandwidth issues, and also only has a mobile version that works on
Windows Mobile devices...
