Palm makes Treo 700wx official for Verizon

Palm and Verizon have made official today what we've known now for a while (as have Sprint and Alltel): 32MB of RAM in a Windows Mobile 5 device just doesn't really cut it. The Treo 700wx rights the 700w's wrongs with an extra 32MB of memory for a grand total of 64MB; otherwise, though, the device is all but identical to its older sibling, with Windows Mobile 6 sadly nowhere in sight. Get it now while it's hot at Verizon stores or online for a stiff $399 on 2-year contract after $100 rebate.

On top of the extra memory, the wx can also tether to your computer for wireless internet unlike the original w.

hek yeah! a 600 dollar phone with only 32 megabytes of ram! a basic nokia has that now but who cares, it's a treo right? and with an extra 40 dollars a month just to access the internet through verizons network!

so i get a 600 dollar phone and i get to spend 480 extra dollars a year just to use it! and the phone comes with 32 megabytes of ram! wow! how can any other company compete?

I bought one and have had it replaced twice. The internet connection (on #777 network) works fine for a while, then freezes up. I have friends with Q's and 700w's in the same area and their phones seem to work fine. I'm trying one more replacement and then giving up. Wish I had Cingular in my area!
