“In Nokia’s context this reasoning should be considered in light of marketing policy of the manufacturer, implying that the company tries out its all-new solutions with so called Techi audience (high-tech gadgets lovers), and only the next generation delivers them to the mass market. The enthusiasts don’t demand much of the novelties when it comes to dimensions or weight. These consumers count on extra functionality and innovative capabilities – for that they will overlook every thing thaw would be unacceptable on the mass market. To make it clear, bring up Nokia N90 in your memory, a Nokia’s first handset to carry a 2 Mpix camera. After a while similar solutions, yet without auto-focus and plastic lens have become widespread over the Finnish manufacturer’s line-up. The inheritor of this product line is Nokia N73, offering a 3.2 Mpix camera, compact casing in candy-bar form-factor. The truth is, only these two are separated only by three years, but look at the distinctions. If the former handset was aimed at enthusiasts and could hardly meet the requirements of mass market, the latter one covers almost the entire audience and boasts of a portable shell.” Read this review at mobile-review.com

“At first glance, the Treo 700p is almost identical to its Windows Mobile counterpart, the Treo 700w. The main difference is a higher density 320 x 320 pixel display and a few distinctive buttons. The 700p hardware features softer, more curved corners, squarer keys arranged in a smile pattern and improved keyboard and button backlighting. The Treo now has true dedicated send and end call buttons. The top rectangular green and red keys are now primarily used for initiating and ending phone calls. The red end key also turns the screen off and locks the device. The home key is now located in the row of application on the far right. The menu key had been moved to the bottom right of the keyboard. The center 5-way navigator is also a bit larger and is a bit easier to thumb around with. The other application buttons are user changeable and by default take you to the Phone app, calendar and email. Size wise, the Treo 700p has dimensions of 5.08″ x 2.28″ x 0.89″ inches (129 x 58 x 22.5 mm) and weighs in at 6.4 ounces (180 g). It pretty much shares the same dimensions and weight as the Treo 650 and 700w. Inside, the Treo 700p is powered by a 312 MHz Intel XScale processor. The device has been given a boost in the memory department. It includes a 128 MB non-volitile (NVFS) chip for program memory of which 60 MB is user-available for program storage. Both the dbcache and dbheap (internal application memory space) have been increased. The dbheap is now up to 10 MB and the dbcache has a 18 MB capacity. ” Read this nice preview here: Also check this video introduction by Palm’s Executive here:

There is a generous 64MB of internal memory and more can be added via the MicroSD slot, which supports sizes up to 1GB.On the rear, the phone sports a 2 Megapixels camera which should produce reasonable results at 1600×1200. The camera software includes a 4x digital zoom, self timer, three advanced modes (still, burst and video), night mode and brightness functionality, but is not as sophisticated as that found in the Nseries. Video recording and playback at QCIF (176×144) is supported and Real player allows full screen video playback in a variety of formats including H.264 and MPEG-4.” Read this preview here:
