Remember, the 700w is _Pocket_PC_, _not_ PalmOS like the 600/650.

I've only had the GSM versions (AT&T/Cingular, T-Mobile) of the Treo
600, not the CDMA versions (Sprint, Verizon).  The GSM versions were
just fine for me, although once Cingular F'up AT&T Wireless' network
as of about February 2005, it went to crap (long story).

My Treo 600 I've had since April 2005 on T-Mobile's network has been
excellent.  Even though T-Mobile has a smaller GSM network than
Cingular, there is _no_ roaming charges, and I got _better_ reception
than post-February 2005 on Cingular's network.

Is that PalmOS?
