Treo 700wx May Be Coming to Verizon

Early last year, Verizon introduced the Treo 700w, the first Windows Mobile-based smartphone from Palm, Inc.

Several months later Sprint came out with an updated version of this device with more built-in memory. Now there is an unconfirmed report that says Verizon will soon begin offering the improved model.

More About the Treo 700wx

This Treo greatly resembles its Windows Mobile-based predecessor. This means it has a 240-by-240-pixel touchscreen above a QWERTY keyboard.

The 700wx runs Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC on a 312 MHz processor. It includes 128 MB of built-in, non-volatile storage -- about 60 MB of which is user accessible -- and a slot for removable SD memory cards.

This CDMA phone supports high-speed EV-DO networks and includes Bluetooth 1.2.
