we've discussed here a bunch, the wifi for $9.95 a day is a bit
misleading. Sure, you can pay this amount or more for wifi, but you can
often find free wifi or even pay wifi could cost you $30/month through
Tmobile. Secondly, as discussed here as well, there are 4GB SD cards
available nor for fairly cheap, not just 2GB cards. And in fact I think
ther might even be 8GB cards available and if not they should be this
summer.

> Treo 'p' smart phone winner
> By Mark Kellner
>
> It was only after a few days into testing of the Palm Treo
> 700p, a CDMA-based "smart phone" from the handheld device
> maker, that it hit me: Palm has won, hands-down, no questions
> asked, the race for smart-phone supremacy.
>
>
> Nokia and Motorola will want to dispute that, of course, so
> will Samsung and LG, Sony Ericsson and others. But the fact
> remains: There is no better handheld phone on the market
> today than the Treo 700p - at least for users in the United
> States and especially for those who want to keep in touch
> with their businesses, or even the world at large.
>
>
> My Treo came with Sprint Nextel's mobile service and, while I
> encountered the occasional reception/connection problem,
> overall the service was crisp and clear.
>
>
> On the Internet side, the phone uses EVDO (Evolution-Data
> Optimized) to pull down Web pages with incredible speed. Yes,
> the display is still small, but once you master the trick of
> moving around the screen, it's refreshing to have pages load
> so quickly.
>
>
> What's more, the phone can also be a wireless (or
> wired) modem for a PC or Macintosh computer, adding a
> connectivity option that easily replaces the
> sign-on-with-a-password-for-$9.95-a-day deals at coffee shops
> and other public places. Cool beans, as one of my colleagues
> would say.
>
>
> If the Treo 700p, available for around $400 with a Sprint
> service plan, did only these things, I'd be enthusiastic.
> Yes, the Treo 650, which runs on the Cingular network among
> others, is a nice phone; I use one daily.
>
>
> Yes, the Treo 700w, which runs Windows Mobile, is also fast,
> but there are limitations inherent in that Microsoft
> operating system and there's little way to get around these.
>
>
> But wait, there's more: the Treo 700p, as Sprint implements
> it, offers a huge range of multimedia choices, including
> dozens of streaming television channels, music of almost
> unlimited variety, and heaven knows what else.
>
>
> Prices vary, but run around $7 to $10 a month extra for a
> given service, such as Sprint TV, which is mind-boggling.
>
>
> How so? Click a few buttons and you are watching the Weather
> Channel, C-SPAN (or C-SPAN2), Discovery, Bloomberg TV, Fox
> News Channel or Fox Sports.
>
>
>
> This will make waiting in an airport much easier.
> Add stereo headphones and you have a portable concert hall.
> Pack along the incredible charger/dock/stereo
> speakers/speakerphone known as the Altec Lansing inMotion
> iMT1, a $179 option, and you've suddenly got a system that
> will be the envy of just about everyone.
>
>
> Where does this leave users? With a rather complete
> communications/data management system on the road. There's
> enough software on the Treo 700p to make any user happy, and
> with SecureDigital cards of up to 2 gigabytes available,
> there's enough storage to satisfy most needs.
>
>
> That data storage is useful, by the way, because the Treo
> 700p has a 1.1 megapixels digital camera, which can also
> record short video clips.
>
>
> If there are flaws in this new product - and perhaps there
> are - I have yet to discover any that are truly significant.
> The button layout is a bit different, but not so much so that
> longtime Treo users won't adapt. Palm has won the smart phone
> race, and Treo 700p users may hold the best prize. .
