I actually participated in a one-month product trial for this phone before it was released, and overall, in spite of some issues I personally found it to be a significant improvement over my PPC-6700. In particular, the dialer software on the 700wx is much better than the 6700, and the fit and finish is much better (I've had my 6700 for about seven months now and I've already lost four styluses in the course of normal use, whereas the Treo's stylus is far more secure.) Overall, I prefer the form factor of the 6700 and the keyboard, but after the trial, I'm giving some serious thought to switching over to the 700wx. There are a couple of caveats: If you use specific PPC applications I would make sure they're compatible with the square display first (a fair number of them aren't) and I also found that there were some battery drain issues that occurred with this phone when outside of EVDO coverage (I suspect this has to do with data sync on the slower 1xRTT connection.)
