Comments on: Microsoft-powered Treo debuts

Palm's Treo 700w smart phone is going on sale Thursday--and could face scrutiny by some Treo 650 fans.

Never used a Windows phone, have you?

I've been using my Windows Mobile 2003 Wallaby for years now, use it every day for email, web, and sometimes even voice calls.

I just rebooted the other day for the first time in almost a year because the T-Mo radio stack went belly up, badly.

Sure, a device maker can create a bad phone using Windows Mobile (HP 6315?), but the base OS has been rock solid for years, and has far more functional set of applications for it than ony other phone OS.

no wi-fi, no gps?

i think the new hp smartphone (hw900?) will be better

Who needs Wi-fi?

This phone uses EV-DO which is far superior to clunky Wi-Fi. Sure it costs, but Wi-fi sucks when it comes to reliability, range and security.
