Palm Pilot Treo 700wx
The Palm Pilot Treo 700wx PDA is almost identical to the Treo 700w in terms of the appearance. Like its predecessor, the handset uses a disappointingly dull 2.5-inch, 240-by-240 screen. In fact, the Treo 700wx screen is among the lowest-resolution smartphones in the industry right now, and that hurts its performance, especially when surfing the internet and dealing with emails.

When it comes to phone reception and audio quality, the Palm Pilot Treo 700wx is just average at best. At maximum volume, the earphones can be very loud, but when the situation is extraordinarily noisy, the outside noise will drown the sound coming out of the PDA. It is still most suitable for indoor use, but sound quality is reasonably acceptable in most outdoor circumstances. You can use your own MP3s and videos as ringtones and talk time is rather extensive, at just under five hours. However, the Palm Pilot Treo 700wx does not come with built-in voice dialing.

The Palm Pilot Treo 700wx PDA battery is a lithium ion battery that is fully rechargeable, and as stated above, usually lasts about five hours. The Palm Pilot PDA 700wx aluminum case is not sold with the original package, but if you plan to travel frequently with the Palm Pilot Treo 700wx, it could definitely be a wise investment to purchase it separately, because it provides great protection for your PDA.

The Palm Pilot Treo 700wx features a 1.3-megapixel camera which gives you better performance as compared to the Treo 700w. Colors are deeper, without the slight haze that frequently obscured 700w photos. For those who are not comfortable with too much contrast, the low-light shots may not be such a favorable factor, and though exposure is good, color haloing can be a big problem when used in the outdoors. The Palm Pilot Treo 700wx has a few good things up its sleeves such as a reasonably well-developed video camera and a 352 x 288-pixel capture mode. However, video quality leaves much to be desired, which rates at just 8 frames per second.

In comparison with other pocket PCs, the Palm Pilot 700wx handheld PDA is outmatched in most departments when it comes to CPU tests. But generally, as a basic PDA, it more than suffices to perform standard PDA functions. A discount Palm Pilot Treo 700wx PDA will cost around $325 which can be gotten when retailers are having sales. If you do not mind a used or refurbished PDA, you will surely find a real cheap Palm Pilot Treo 700wx PDA, maybe even below $300. All in all, the Palm Pilot Treo 700wx is a worthwhile investment for both entry-level and basic users, because it is a simple gadget that does not require a whole lot of figuring out.
