RE: Access denied
Also, an ACCESS splash screen is the first thing you see when it boots, then the orange Palm logo.
RE: Cheers, Ryan
Remember that VR sequence in the movie Lawnmower Man (the Pierce Brosnan one)? "Access Denied, Access Denied, Access Denied, Access Granted!"

Great movie. I remember when I first got a broadband connection, I felt like the Lawnmower Man when he starts buzzing through and soaking up all that data at crazy speeds.
RE: Cheers, Ryan
The interview is airing ~47 minutes after the hour, every hour, Saturday & Sunday afternoon (5/20 & 5/21). You can see Bloomberg TV on cable or satellite TV, or streamed from the bloomberg.com website.

TINY upgrade
Can they not make these things a bit smaller? Windows Mobile phones are tiny by comparrison, yet the 700w does the same thing at twice the size & weight.
Come on, Palm!

RE: TINY upgrade
Windows Mobile Smartphone-based devices are probably smaller, but WM Pocket PC-based devices are certainly not. Ever seen a HTC Universal?
RE: TINY upgrade
RE: TINY upgrade
The Treo is a compromise between a PDA (usable keyboard/visible screen) and a cell phone (the tinier the better - you just gotta see the phone number).
Hawkins and crew did a hell of a job finding the middle ground - wish the size were smaller, but wish the screen were bigger... I don't yet see a way with present technology to make both sides happy - but if I were on the Palm design crew I would certainly be on the cutting edge of seeking out solutions to this holy grail. Since buying out Handspring it seems Palm hasn't devoted much energy to this area, which they shouldn't when they weren't even putting enough memory into the devices. Maybe with the 700p finally out they will find some money to finally continue the innovation that they purchased 3 years ago from Handspring.
RE: TINY upgrade
Take a basic Treo formfactor, make the screen a tad larger and 320*480, drop the QWERTY keyboard in favor of the standard four row, twelve button keyboard and you're set.
OR...take a TX/TE formfactor, make the screen a tad SMALLER but retain 320*480, beef up the battery and do whatever it takes to shoehorn a GSM radio into it. Heck, go with MicroSD if that helps.
Or simply keep the existing TX and replace Wi-fi and Bluetooth with a cellular radio and give it a beefier non-removable battery in the process.
The T|C design could even be used for such a purpose.
I think what a lot of people are looking for is a "connectivity anywhere" cellular DATA only device that omits voice functionality entirely. The T|W was on the right track but Palm crippled it with OS 4.2, a Dragonball CPU and the lame halfarsed voice functionality.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their profits.

Hahahahahahaha... you cannot be serious? You are baseing the size of a Windows Mobile Pocket PC device on the Universal? The device that has a clamshell-landscape formfactor, a 6 (Yes, six!) row keyboard with 62 keys, a 1.3megapixel still camera, a separate video/web cam facing the user, a 640X480 VGA color screen, a full sized 3.5mm headphone jack, two ports for an external GSM and WCDMA antenna, stereo speakers (which brings the total speakers to 3 when you include the ear piece speaker, a swivel hinge allowing you to go from clamshell/laptop mode to PDA mode, etc.
That is what you base your size on? Give me a break. Ever seen an HTC Wizard? An Apache? Both will give the Treo a run for the money and both have bigger keyboards and bigger screens. Your comparison is as ridiculious as if someone said a PalmOS device is large, sluggish and heavy because the LifeDrive exists. (insert rolling eye emoticon here)

How about Europe - or really how about the UK
I believe you call us 'Brits' if that helps to jog the memory

About Verizon, US Cellular, et. al...
T-Mobile is still at large. I hope that T-Mobile will release a Treo 700p sooner or later, as a T-Mobile-branded 650 was all for naught after all. I'd better see the 700p surpass the 700w, as I'd rather see the Access-powered side flourish more.

RE: About Verizon, US Cellular, et. al...
I don't know if you'll see a GSM 700w or 700p, per se; I think you're more likely to see an similar model sans the external antenna.
Size
Now, if Palm would introduce an upgrade to the T3, then I might be interested.

480x320 Display
I'd love to see a 480x320 Display with switchable Orientation to Landscape (Sideways). Surfing the web at 320x320 is functional but painful.
RE: 480x320 Display
And it also has a landscape mode...drool.

Oh well, small niggle. I'll still be buying a GSM one, if it ever eventuates.
