Unpacking the Treo 700p

by Ryan Block posted May 24th 2006 at 2:34PM

We got more package porn here for ya today, though this time it isn't our own. Engadget Mobile reader and self-proclaimed Gadget Guru Andy Pargh hooked us up with some shots he snapped of him tearing open his box to reveal the sweet, sweet treasure within -- the 700p. Looks like Sprint didn't get the last laugh after all -- unless some of you already have a Sprint 700p and have been holding out on us. Don't hold out on us, people!

Yum.

mmm.. Wonder when he placed his order. I placed mine for a Sprint 700p yesterday, then cancelled today and reordered to get the free 1gig SD upgrade.

Just before 10 AM EDT, my phone was delivered to my job. I opened it up and it looks great. It will be a few hours before I get home to back up my Treo 650 and then load up the new phone from Verizon Wireless.
By the way, I ordered it early Monday Morning, May 22 on line. For some reason (and I'm not complaining, mind you), the bumped up the shipping to standard overnight and charged me $70 less for the phone. I was not eligible for the discount as my two years were not up yet so the price was supposed to be $619 (YIKES!). The invoice in the box said $549.
Thanks Verizon!

I will post a review later today or tomorrow.

Is it me or does that look like a Palm OS in the 700 screenshots? Certainly doesn't look like Windows...

#11 - It's the Treo 700p... as in Palm

My 700p will be here tomorrow at 7pm. Woot. I'm upgrading from a Blackberry and have never used a Palm. Maybe I'll blog about it.

so, it looks like I'm switching from sprint to verizon... this is the phone that I think I want... I'm a mac user... How is the bluetooth sycning? I know that it used to suck on Verizon, is it different with this new phone? What about using the EV-DO as a modem with my PowerBook? Any chance I can get any of this to work?

No need to switch from Sprint from Verizon for this phone. Sprint has the 700p for sale now. Make sure that your zip has EVDO (Power Vision) available...
