Taken from Palm:

The phone comes first.
Even though the Palm® Treo™ 700w and 700wx smartphones combine the capabilities of a phone, email, organizer, messaging device, web browser, and camera into small, lightweight devices, they're still full-featured, no compromise, mobile phones.

A phone that fits.
Even with a built-in QWERTY keyboard, the Treo 700w and 700wx smartphones area compact and comfortable. They fit perfectly in your hand, rest snugly against your ear, and slide right into your pocket until it's time to make your next call.

A smarter way to call.
No other Windows Mobile smartphone lets you place and accept calls as easily as the Treo 700w and 700wx. Look up a number in just a few keystrokes. Make a call by pressing a photo. Assign unique ringtones to colleagues and family with ease. You've never made a call like this before.

One-handed navigation.
Get more done in less time—even when you're on the go. The seamless marriage of the 5-way navigator and integrated QWERTY keyboard with Windows Mobile 5.0 action keys and application enhancements provides great one-handed usage.

5-way navigator integration.
The 5-way navigator—comfortably located in the center of the phone—lets you access almost everything you need with just one hand, so you can easily scroll through messages, skim documents, and scan web pages.

Compact QWERTY keyboard.
A backlit QWERTY keyboard with square keys makes typing email and entering data fast and familiar—even in the dark. And even though you get a full QWERTY keyboard, it's still small enough to fit easily in your hand or slide into your pocket. The number dial pad integrated into the keyboard makes dialing easy and fast.

Integrated action key support.
Action key menu options appear at the bottom of most screens in Windows Mobile applications, giving you direct access to primary functionality or menus. The button below each action key makes it simple to access what you need without having to remove your stylus or touch the screen with your fingers.

With the Treo 700w and 700wx, Palm introduces user friendly innovations to the Windows Mobile Today Screen. The result is a completely integrated Windows Mobile experience, allowing you to access information at a glance and communicate with contacts more quickly and easily than ever before.

From your Today Screen you can quickly dial by name, dial a phone number or speed dial entry, view your latest calendar appointments, see how many unread email messages you have, and even initiate a web search. Instead of clicking through a series of menus every time you want to do something, the Treo 700w and 700wx save you valuable time by letting you access your most frequently-used features as soon as you turn them on.

Broadband-like speeds.
The Treo 700w and 700wx are Palm's first smartphones to support EvDO, the latest generation of high-speed CDMA networks. This means average download speeds of 400-600 Kbps/sec. You'll experience faster email download and browsing speeds that let you quickly access information and data when you're on the go.Even take advantage of broadband-like speeds to surf the web on your laptop using your smartphone as a wireless modem.
