Which Verizon phone to get between these two....?

Palm Treo 700w

or

Verizon XV6700



After all the reviews and write-ups I've read about these two....basically comes to

resolution
wifi/bluetooth
keyboard - already there or dont mind the push out
memory
memory cards

Those seem to be where the bigger differences between the two come out. I don't really care too much for the camera part of it and is mainly being used for work and to keep my @$$ organized.

Any thoughts?

I have the Samsung i730. The Treo runs WM5, but I still picked the Samsung.

I haven't had a problem to date. Don't know about the XV6700.

I heavily considered getting one of these two phones and after reading a lot of comparisons, I would have to go with the XV6700. I LOVE the keyboard on it...

Posts 7, 9 and 12.

The basic concensus was, you can't really go wrong with either

I have the treo 700w, myself... I love it... but I have to admit... I didn't know about the 6700 before... and if I had... I probably would've picked it instead... I'm used to having a larger screen... and the only downside to the 700w is the small screen... but, I'm fine with the 700w.... for now... (I go through phones quick...)

I just picked up the 700 but I had to get that b/c the Palm software will sync with my work applications.
So far I like it!

^^^you'll enjoy it... plus you should check out www.pdanet.com they have a program where it allows you to get internet access with you laptop through you Treo 700... it's totally legal... just think wireless internet anywhere there's service.

I'm not sure if it works with the 6700 though...

After tons of readings, there seems to be a hell of lot of apps that will work on the 700w just fine. At least the ones I might use.

I think I'm going to get the 700w. If I dont like it, hey, thats what the 15-day trial is all about.

Will let yall know what happens.
