    The 700W has had problems with stability. Some people report reboots with the 650, but that is probably aftermarket stability (and usually not happening during phone calls). The 700W has reports of dropped calles due to software.

    The 700W also has a low res screen. Something about MS not supporting anything but 240x240, while the 650 and 700p should do 320x320.

    I have heard that the 700W and Windows in general is difficult to navigate. I love the zen of palm, and they have reworked most applications to work well with the 5way button. Easy one-button access to my required apps (no start / navigate garbage) then easy use just like my old palm 3...

    650 did what I need, 700p should do that plus fix some problems (super low res camera now a low res camera). I still have a list of wants that nobody can do in a convergence device:

    Stereo wireless mp3+mic
    Bigger screen
    More memory onboard (like 2 GB)
    2 SD cards (wifi, GPS and memory?)
