• Pantech PX-500 EVDO Rev A PC Card (Sprint)

  Sprint

  
  The Pantech PX-500 mobile broadband PC card is a true network card, functioning just like the network cards familiar to most business computer users. Once installed and configured, the card connects instantly to Sprint's CDMA EV-DO network with just a few mouse clicks, and then delivers broadband-like average data transmission speeds when downloading data to your PC. With Sprint's EV-DO Revision A network, the card can produce download speeds of up to 3.1 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 1.8 Mbps--greater than many wired broadband data services. Best of all, the PX-500 lets you surf the web, check your e-mail, or access your company's network just about anywhere--from the mall to the airport.

  Design
  The PX-500 is compact and lightweight, with a chassis that fits snugly into a notebook's type II PC card slot. The card's durable embedded antenna, meanwhile, offers a multi-band/diversity design that enhances performance by maximizing data throughput, making it ideal for fringe areas with generally poor reception. Best of all for security-minded users, the PX-500 employs a CDMA wireless technology authentication and identification system that ensures topnotch data protection.

  Sprint Connectivity
  Before checkout, choose the Sprint Internet plan that's right for you. The PX-500 is compatible with Sprint's Power Vision network, which transforms the wireless experience from something that is simply functional into something visual, entertaining, and highly personalized. The Power Vision network gives you the freedom to stay productive and connected whether you're on the road or in a meeting across town with broadband-like connection speeds. You will also receive access to Sprint's broader national network when outside the Power Vision coverage area.

  Software
  The PX-500 includes Sprint's PCS Connection Management software, which offers access to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. This easy-to-install, easy-to-use software offers a common user interface across multiple mobile computing devices, along with self-diagnostic tools to simplify setup, support, and troubleshooting.

  Vital Statistics
  Other details include advanced power management for optimal laptop performance and reduced battery drain, compatibility with Windows XP and 2000, and a carrying case. The PX-500 measures 2.13 by 4.57 by 0.51 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 1.76 ounces.

• SPRINT SAMSUNG IP-830W CELL PHONE

  Samsung

  
  For people who need power and performance wherever they roam, the Samsung IP-830W offers the answer. The 830W world phone uses the Sprint CDMA/EV-DO networks in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and roams on CDMA and/or GSM networks (voice) and GPRS networks (data) outside of North America, making it the ultimate business-class device for mobile professionals.

  Into mixing business with pleasure? The 830W has groundbreaking entertainment features. A full color display slides down to reveal an integrated QWERTY keypad, while Bluetooth, and EV-DO wireless broadband keep you on the cutting edge of connectivity. Powered by the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system and with support for corporate e-mail accounts, this device is designed for maximum efficiency, wherever you are.

  Design
  The 830W follows the standard form factor of the latest Pocket PC devices, with one major addition: a sliding QWERTY keyboard is hidden below the screen. A generous, 240 x 320 full-color touch-screen display dominates the face of the unit. Just below the display is a five-way selection button that allows you to navigate and control the Windows Mobile interface. Meanwhile, shortcut buttons offer quick access to your Outlook calendar, contacts, messaging, Internet Explorer, and more. Alternatively, the device can be directly controlled with an included stylus that slides out of the rear of the 830W's case.

  Under the hood, the 830W sports a 520 MHz Bulverde Intel processor with 64 MB of RAM and 128 MB of embedded flash memory storage. The unit's memory slot supports additional flash-based memory so you can expand for more available storage. The Windows Mobile operating system is completely touch-screen-enabled and features advanced handwriting recognition that is compatible with all of the device's applications. There's a standard stereo 2.5mm headset jack, and USB data and charging is handled by the 830W's docking ports on the bottom of the device. To kick the 830W's audio features up a notch, Samsung has also built a pair of 3D stereo speakers into the unit's case.

  Calling Features
  Many of the 830W's calling features are integrated with the Windows Mobile operating system. For instance, the included Pocket Outlook software features a contacts list that is cleverly integrated with the phone's dialing functions. Meanwhile, the phone's handwriting recognition software can be used to dial numbers and enter contact information. Speaker-independent voice dialing is integrated, too, meaning the phone recognizes spoken contact names and quickly dials them. The 830W's built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear, and polyphonic ringtones are available, as is a vibrating alert. Caller ID and call waiting are also supported. Lastly, the 830W's Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy to sync the unit with a wide range of hands-free, wireless headsets and car kits.

  Messaging, Internet, and Tools
  The 830W is designed as a complete mobile office solution, so Internet and messaging capabilities are robust. The unit comes packed with pocket versions of Outlook, Internet Explorer, and MSN Messenger. In addition to keeping track of contacts, Pocket Outlook features integrated calendar and e-mail functions. Microsoft's ActiveSync software keeps the device synced with all of your PC's Outlook information (via USB, infrared, or Bluetooth connection).

  Users who want Internet connectivity on the road with their laptop or PDA can tap into the 830W's wireless modem capabilities. Sprint's next generation EV-DO broadband wireless network is compatible with the unit, meaning you can tap into blistering Internet speeds in areas where EV-DO coverage is provided. Meanwhile, the unit fully supports basic text messaging, as well as multimedia messaging (MMS) (Sprint Power Communication charges apply).

  A generous toolset ships with the 830W's Windows Mobile 5.0 software. Pocket Outlook includes to-do lists, and pocket versions of Word and Excel are included so you can review and edit documents on the go. A calculator, an alarm clock for times when you're worried you might sleep-in, and a voice memo recorder round out the tools package.

  Entertainment
  The 830W delivers the ultimate music experience. You can store digital music files and easily exchange them with your PC or stream them from the Internet. The included Windows Media Player application can also play videos for even more mobile entertainment.

  The 830W's wallpapers and screen savers can be customized to suit your tastes. Windows Mobile and Java-based games are also supported. Samsung has even built in a handy application that allows the 830W's infrared port to control your home entertainment equipment.

  Vital Statistics
  The Samsung IP-830W weighs 6.44 ounces and measures 4.49 x 2.28 x .97 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 2.2 hours of digital talk time and up to 130 hours of digital standby time.

  The special World-Edition 8830 smartphone is ideal for international travel.

  Design
  The BlackBerry 8830 isn't big, but it's also not quite as compact as some of BlackBerry's other recent offerings, such as the Pearl.

With BlackBerry service plans from Sprint, you can receive e-mails instantaneously from up to 10 e-mail accounts (personal and enterprise). BlackBerry's push technology, meanwhile, makes it easier than ever to receive your e-mails. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and stay continuously connected to your wireless network.

  Sprint Services
  The 8830 also offers a number of Sprint-specific features when combined with the right service plan, including the ability to stream music to your phone through Sprint's Music Choice service. You can select from pop, rock, hip-hop, and R&B, plus enjoy access to exclusive video clips, performances, and artist interviews.

The media player supports MP3, MIDI, AMR-NB, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, and WMA audio formats and MPEG-4 and WMV video formats.

  Enterprise Server
  For larger corporate and government organizations, the BlackBerry 8830 works with BlackBerry Enterprise Servers to provide users and IT managers with a host of additional features. Among the options are secure access to Internet- and intranet-based applications, single mailbox integration, wireless synchronization with corporate PIM tools, and remote address book lookup. And unlike with traditional mobile phones, the 8830 series incorporates advanced security features to satisfy strict IT requirements. Other enterprise features include the ability to receive proactive wireless notifications and alerts from executive reporting systems, the capacity to wirelessly access service histories and product bullets, and the ability to initiate a spontaneous conference call using the built-in speakerphone.

  Vital Statistics
  The BlackBerry 8830 measures 2.6 by 4.49 by 0.55 inches (W x H x D), weighs 4.6 ounces, and includes a lithium cell battery that lasts for up to 220 minutes of talk time and nine days of standby time on the CDMA network.

It also allows you to manage your phonebook contacts through a Sprint web page.

• Motorola Q Phone (Sprint)

  Sprint

  

  To keep your smartphone's applications up to date, and to optimize the performance of your device, you may need to perform firmware and/or software updates just as you would on your PC. To learn more about updates for your device, please visit Motorola's support site. Note that by clicking this link you will be leaving Amazon.com.

  Motorola's QWERTY keyboard equipped Q, formerly known as the RAZRberry in the rumor mills, might not exactly be the "BlackBerry killer" that many predicted, but it is certainly one of the most capable and user friendly smartphones available on the market today.

  Based on Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone platform, the Q picks up the best features from Microsoft's Smartphone edition of Windows Mobile while still offering a lot of PDA-like capability and screen real estate on its 65k color, 320x240 pixel display.

  Sleek, small and oh, so powerful. See it in 3D.

  In terms of hardware features, the Q's right side 3-way scroll wheel and dedicated back buttons take center stage. These give the Q user fast BlackBerry-like scrolling with the ability to select an item or return to the prior screen--all with the user's thumb. Of course you can still do these same things the traditional way by using the 5-way direction pad and the back button that sits to its right. There's also a dedicated home key as well as the red and green call control keys.

  The Q's QWERTY keyboard is a bit stiff, but otherwise designed well. The dark keys serve double duty as the numeric keypad when the Option key (found left of the Z key) is used. The Option key can be locked on, as can the shift key on the opposite side of the keyboard. Along the bottom of the keyboard you'll find dedicated buttons for email, the 1.3-megapixel camera, and a dual-use key for the speaker-independent voice dialing system and speakerphone.

  When it comes to hot features, though, the Q's EV-DO 3G data capability tops the list. When used in an EV-DO coverage area, the Q user can expect to get wireless data rates that approach those enjoyed by home DSL users. When there is no EV-DO coverage available, the Q will fall back to the slower 1xRTT data network (roughly comparable to a 56Kbps modem). The Q can also connect to a desktop PC with a USB or Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth can also be used with mono and stereo headsets, as well as other devices like keyboards.

  Get intimate with the Q's keyboard.

  While WiFi wireless access would have been a welcomed feature, it would have only led to even more strain on the already overtaxed battery. The standard capacity battery is capable of a respectable 5.5 hours of continuous talk time, but realistically will only provide a day of solid use, especially if the Q user takes advantage of the BlackBerry-like push email support. The push system can keep your Q lock step in sync with your corporate or home email inbox without any user intervention required. On top of email synchronization, it can also be used to synchronize the Q's contacts, calendar entries, tasks and other items with your home or office copy of Microsoft Outlook. It is somewhat eerie how you can enter a new contact or appointment on the Q and have it show up moments later in Outlook--or the other way around.

  One of the great things about owning a smartphone is the ability to add 3rd party developed applications to the device. Since Windows Mobile 5.0 is quite popular, there are plenty such applications available both freely and for purchase. The Q has about 50MB of RAM for running applications, and a similar amount for storing data and the applications themselves. If you need more storage space, you can easily add a gigabyte or two by inserting a miniSD memory card into the Q's slot, located on the left edge of the device.

  The Motorola Q packs a lot of capability into a device that is only a half inch thick and weighs 4.3 ounces--considerably less than the competition. It comes highly recommended.

  Pros:
  

  • One-handed use
  • Thin and light
  • EV-DO data

  Cons:
  

  • Short standby battery life
  • Stiff keyboard keys

• BlackBerry Curve 8330 Smartphone, Red (Sprint)

  BlackBerry

  
  Adding a fashionable touch to Research in Motion's formidable arsenal of telephonic, PIM, and media tools, the BlackBerry 8330 Curve for Sprint is also the smallest, lightest BlackBerry phone that includes a full QWERTY keyboard. This amalgam of the svelte BlackBerry Pearl and the more business-oriented 8800 combines RIM's long-valued corporate email and messaging platform with a host of advanced multimedia features, including a 2-megapixel camera and stereo Bluetooth (for listening to music via wireless headphones). It also offers GPS navigation capabilities for accessing the optional Sprint Navigation turn-by-turn direction service.

  Click for larger view.

  Sprint Service Options
  Supporting the EV-DO high-speed data standard, this phone enables you to download and stream high-quality video, straight onto your phone. Where coverage is available, EV-DO connectivity provides average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps, with peak rates up to 2 Mbps. With Sprint TV, you can make your cell phone your always-on source for news, weather, sports and more. This comprehensive video service combines high-quality streaming audio and video from channels including the NFL Network, ABC, The Weather Channel, Fox Sports, E!, CNN, The Discovery Channel, and more.

  The Sprint Music Store enables you to buy, download, and then jam out wherever you are with new songs or old favorites. Offering a growing selection of more than 1.6 million songs, the store provides you two copies of each song--one for the phone and another for the PC, as well as the ability to burn songs to a CD using Windows Media Player. Save your songs to a memory card with a capacity that's right for you.

  This GPS-enabled phone provides optional access to Sprint Navigation for driving directions on your mobile phone--by voice and onscreen. Along the way, turn-by-turn directions will be announced in a clear voice and displayed on your phone. For example, Sprint Navigation will say, "Go 1.2 miles and turn right on Elm Street." As you approach the turn, you will hear, "Turn right on Elm Street." Sprint Navigation also provides proactive traffic alerts with one click re-routing. And it's easy to find restaurants, banks, cafes, hotels and more from over 10 million points of interest across the U.S.

  The Curve's full QWERTY keyboard and the innovative trackball navigation system (placed above the keyboard) makes accessing your data and writing email a breeze.

  Staying Connected
  With BlackBerry's push email technology, your email will find you without having to initiate a connection. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, notifying you as new email arrives. In addition to the text, you can also receive and view attachments in a wide range of popular file formats, including Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect, and Adobe PDF.

  Browse the web with the integrated, full-featured browser, which quickly and efficiently displays HTML pages as well as enables you to set up RSS feeds to stay connected to up-to-the-minute news and blog posts. And keep up with your contacts using a variety of instant message (IM) networks, including the integrated Blackberry Messenger as well as downloadable clients for Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Lotus Sametime.

  For corporate users, the Curve delivers all the enterprise email and messaging capabilities you've come to expect. It's supported on BlackBerry Internet Service, giving you access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration within IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise environments.

  Phone Features
  The Curve 8330 is fashioned with subtly curving corners and chrome highlights. Measuring 4.2 x 2.4 inches, the Curve is just as slim as the Pearl (0.63 inches) and weighs in at 4 ounces. It features a bright 2.5-inch color TFT screen that provides 65,000 colors and a 320 x 240-pixel resolution, and it includes a light-sensing feature that automatically adjusts backlighting for indoor, outdoor and dark environments. Like the BlackBerry 8800, the Curve includes a trackball navigation system located on the top of the QWERTY keypad, and it also features an integrated spell checker with a customizable dictionary to help maintain accuracy while on the go. It has 96 MB of internal ROM memory, and is expandable using MicroSD/MicroSDHC memory cards (up to 8 GB in size).

  The 2-megapixel camera makes it easy to capture pictures to send via email or upload to your online photo collection.

  You can snap vivid photos (though no video) using the 2-megapixel camera on the back of the Curve, which also features a 5x digital zoom, built-in flash, self-portrait mirror and full screen viewfinder. It can capture images in up to three picture quality and size resolutions that can be shared instantly by email, MMS or BlackBerry Messenger, or even uploaded to your Flickr account with the Yahoo! Go service. Photos can also be immediately set as a unique caller ID or Home Screen image. You can edit photos and create albums within the Curve using the PhotoSuite application. Pictures can be cropped, rotated and straightened, and flaws can be fixed by removing redeye or changing the brightness, contrast, and saturation levels.

  Listen to your favorite music and watch downloaded videos using the included stereo headset, or use an optional wireless headphone thanks to the Curve's support for the Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP). The Curve is compatible with MP3 and WMA audio files, and dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset.

  With the Voice-Activated Dialing (VAD) feature, you can initiate a call just by telling the Curve who to call from your contact list--either via the integrated speakerphone or using an optional Bluetooth wireless headset. Other advanced phone features include advanced sound technology that cancels out background noise and echo, dedicated volume and mute keys, and the ability to customize the Curve with polyphonic and MP3 ringtones.

  The BlackBerry Maps application enables you to view maps and driving directions as well as email maps to other BlackBerry users and launch maps from your address book. It also includes a local search capability that allows users to find local businesses, such as banks, hotels and restaurants, within a short driving distance.

  Vital Statistics
  The BlackBerry Curve 8330 weighs 4 ounces and measures 4.2 x 2.4 x 0.63 inches. Its 1150 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5.9 hours of talk time, and up to 264 hours (11 days) of digital standby time. It runs on the 800/1900 CDMA/EV-DO frequencies.

  
   

• BlackBerry 7130e Smartphone (Sprint)

  BlackBerry

  
  Love the BlackBerry but want to keep it small? Turn to the 7130e smartphone, which lets you perform most of the traditional BlackBerry functions--including enterprise-friendly features--in a device that's just a bit larger than a traditional cell phone. The BlackBerry 7130e is equipped with such attributes as MP3 ringtones, Bluetooth communication technology, a built-in speakerphone, EV-DO high-speed Web support, and a large, light-sensing, high-resolution LCD display, giving you virtually everything you need to stay in touch either by phone or the Web. Text-messaging and e-mail devotees, meanwhile, will dig the phone's SureType keyboard technology, which learns the words you use most often to enhance your typing speed. And, of course, BlackBerry's legendary push e-mail service is fully supported on the 7130e.

  Calling Features
  All the calling capabilities folks have come to expect in a wireless phone are present in the BlackBerry 7130e.

The phone also offers a vibrating alert, a speed dial, and a contacts list/address book that's limited only by the unit's 64 MB of internal memory. 7130e owners who want to create caller-specific ringers can choose from the phone's built-in polyphonic ringtones, making it easy to know who's calling without looking at the handset. And thanks to the phone's speaker-independent voice dialing function, you can call contacts with the sound of your voice. No prior voice training is required; simply say a contact's name and the phone will dial the number.

  The 7130e offers a variety of Sprint-specific features, including support for Sprint's Music Choice service.

  Messaging, Internet, and Tools
  While the BlackBerry 7130e is a different kind of BlackBerry device, it still delivers the legendary BlackBerry e-mail experience. With BlackBerry service plans from Sprint, you can receive e-mails instantaneously from up to 10 e-mail accounts (personal and enterprise). BlackBerry's push technology, meanwhile, makes it easier than ever to receive your e-mails. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and stay continuously connected to your wireless network. As a result, you don't have to retrieve your e-mails manually, but instead are discreetly notified by the 7130e each time a new e-mail arrives. The unit also offers built-in support for viewing e-mail attachments in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and PDF formats. Plus, the phone's Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) support lets you combine text and images within a single message, making it easy to caption photos and make amusing comments.

  As with most smartphones, the 7130e lets you access the Internet from the palm of your hand, with an integrated Web browser, up-do-date stock quotes, news readers, weather reports, and more--all at fast speeds thanks to support for Sprint's EV-DO high-speed data network. You can also use the 7130e as a wireless modem for your laptop or PC, letting you enjoy Internet access anywhere within the network's range.

  Sprint Services
  The 7130e also offers a number of Sprint-specific features when combined with the right service plan, including the ability to stream music to your phone through Sprint's Music Choice service. You can select from pop, rock, hip-hop, and R&B, plus enjoy access to exclusive video clips, performances, and artist interviews. Add in a built-in media player--which handles both real-time streaming video and audio at broadband-like speeds--and you have a terrific phone for multimedia fans.

  Enterprise Server
  For larger corporate and government organizations, the BlackBerry 7130e works with BlackBerry Enterprise Servers to provide users and IT managers with a host of additional features. Among the options are secure access to Internet- and intranet-based applications, single mailbox integration, wireless calendar synchronization, and remote address book lookup. And unlike with traditional mobile phones, the 7130 series incorporates advanced security features to satisfy strict IT requirements. Other enterprise features include the ability to receive proactive wireless notifications and alerts from executive reporting systems, the capacity to wirelessly access service histories and product bullets, and the ability to initiate a spontaneous conference call using the built-in speakerphone.

  Vital Statistics
  The BlackBerry 7130e measures 2.2 by 4.6 by 0.9 inches (W x H x D), weighs 4.7 ounces, and features a lithium-ion battery that lasts for up to three hours of talk time and eight days of standby time. The phone also comes with a one-year warranty.

• palm Treo 700wx Smartphone (Sprint)

  Sprint

  
  A lot of folks said it would never happen, but here it is: A Palm device running Windows Mobile software. This isn't just any device, either. It's the latest version of Palm's wildly popular Treo series of Smartphones. Everything that's great about the Treo hardware is here, plus all the power of Windows Mobile 5.0.

  The Treo 700wx: An office in your pocket. See it in detail. You can also See it in 3D.

  Search the Web from the Today Screen.

  Check email on the go.

  Make contact by email, text, or phone.

  Shoot and share photos and video.

  View PowerPoint Mobile presentations.

  With the Treo 700wx, you can experience broadband-like download speeds using Sprint's EV-DO technology. Simply put, everything you need to do your work on the move, and at blazing speeds, has arrived.

  Design
  Under the hood, the Treo 700wx features 128MB of RAM (60MB available for end user storage) and an Intel XScale 312MHz processor. The design retains the same basic form factor as the Treo 650 with a few changes. Aesthetically, the new Treo has more angular lines and a more professional-looking gray color. At 6 ounces, it's also slightly lighter than its predecessor. The button layout above the full QWERTY keyboard has been changed to accommodate the Windows Mobile 5.0 interface, and the screen sports 240 x 240 resolution.

  Like the Treo 650, the top of the 700wx features an expansion card slot for SD, SDIO, and MMC memory and expansion cards, and get this: Unlike the 650, the 700wx supports the Palm Wi-Fi card. Up top there's also an infrared port for line of sight data transfers, as well as a handy switch for turning off the phone's ringer. Below the screen, a five-way navigator controls most of the phone's menus and operating system functions. The left side of the unit features a volume up/down toggle plus a handy user-customizable button that can be assigned to any phone or PDA function. The rear of the unit houses a loudspeaker, as well as the 1.3 megapixel camera unit. A touchscreen stylus can be tucked away on the right side of the phone. Meanwhile, a combined charging, data, and accessory attachment port, called the Palm "multi-connector" is housed on the bottom of the unit, as is a standard 2.5 mm stereo headset jack.

  Calling and PDA Features
  Like the Treo 650, the Treo 700wx's phone and PDA functions are designed to provide an integrated, seamless experience--only this time it's all handled by Windows Mobile software. The hallmark of the Windows Mobile experience is the "Today" screen that summarizes all the important information you need to make it through the day. Here you'll get message notification, upcoming appointments, dialing functions, and a Google Web searching all in one spot.

  As a phone, the Treo 700wx features all the functionality folks expect from a handset, including a handsfree speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones (polyphonic MIDI, MP3, WAV and video ringtones are supported), a vibrate mode, and picture caller ID. Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile combines email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes into a single application that seamlessly integrates with the 700wx's phone functions. Meanwhile, headsets, car kits and other wireless peripherals can also be paired with the unit via Bluetooth (the Bluetooth 1.2 specification is supported).

  Staying productive on the road is made possible by the Microsoft Office Mobile suite, which includes Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile. You also get Picsel PDF Viewer for viewing PDF document attachments, and the File Explorer application makes it easy to browse the files on your 700wx.

  Messaging and Internet
  The really big news about the 700wx is that it supports Sprint's EVDO mobile broadband service, allowing you to get DSL speeds wherever you have broadband data coverage. And what can you do with all that speed? Surf the Web faster than ever before using the bundled Internet Explorer application, or log into Pocket MSN and check your Hotmail, use MSN Messenger, or browse the MSN Mobile portal. Robust SMS and MMS functionality is built into the Windows Mobile interface, too.

  One of the most important tools bundled with the 700wx is Microsoft ActiveSync, which allows you to quickly synchronize your device's tasks, calendars, email, and contacts with your desktop. You also get Exchange ActiveSync, an application that lets you synchronize data with an Exchange server. Syncing can be done via USB, or wirelessly via Bluetooth.

  Imaging and Entertainment
  Another great feature of the 700wx is that it supports Windows Media playback right out of the box. With Windows Media Player 10, Palm users can finally play streaming and downloaded video and audio content in a variety of formats, even purchased music from "Plays For Sure" supporting stores. You can also keep your tunes loaded on a memory card and listen to stereo sound wherever you roam (requires an optional stereo headset adapter).

  The Treo 700wx's built-in camera sees a bump in performance with the ability to take 1.3 megapixel (1280 x 1024) stills. The camera also features a 2x digital zoom, a self portrait mirror, and automatic light balancing. While the camera is great for taking stills, it can also function as a camcorder, allowing you to capture MPEG4 video to the unit's memory. An integrated media application organizes your captured photos and videos.

  And last, but certainly not least, the Treo 700wx keeps the fun going when you've got some downtime with great games. Bubble Breaker and Solitaire ship with the handset, but more Windows Mobile games are available.

  Vital Statistics
  The Palm Treo 700wx weighs 6.0 ounces and measures 4.40 x 2.30 x .90 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 360 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the CDMA 850/1900 frequencies, as well as the EV-DO and 1xRTT data frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.
