The Treo 700wx will cost you $499.99 with a 2-year service plan, $649.99 without, so it's certainly far from cheap. Sprint's unlimited data plan is, though, at just $15 per month. It's available now.
I am going to wrap up this review with a quote about the 700w from Ducker's review that I think applies perfectly to the 700wx: "The Treo 700w is an excellent Windows Mobile device, likely the best that has ever been produced." That title now belongs to the Treo 700wx.
When a device gets this close to seeming like it's practically perfect you tend to focus on the little things that it misses at the expense of everything that it gets right. The Treo 700wx is this close. Although this review may contain quite a few little gripes, they're little. This is by far the best Treo I've ever owned and probably the best Treo Palm has produced to date.
The burning question, I suppose, is whether it's the best smartphone currently on the market. Not to put too fine a point on it: is it better than the 700p? Here's my take: the 700wx is more powerful and has more functionality but WM5 is still less intuitive and easy-to-use then the 700p's PalmOS. Nevertheless, for me, the 700wx is better.
