The NY Times has posted a review of the new Palm Treo 700w. Unfortunately the review is less than glowing. While Palm made many modifications to the Windows Mobile OS to make it more usable, there were also many oddities in the system according to the reviewer. Here’s a quote from the review:
The Treo 700w ($400 with a two-year Verizon commitment) is a Frankensteinian mishmash. Some of its features are so inspired and well executed, you can’t help grinning, while others are so clumsy, you smack your forehead.
I do believe that if you were used to the Palm Treo, you probably will have some difficulties adapting to the Windows Mobile version. Existing Windows Mobile users are already used to the complexity in the OS so the Treo 700w may end up being simpler than ever before for these customers. I’ll be able to say more in a few days when I get the phone. In the meantime, check out the NYTimes review which was reprinted at News.com here.
