There's a few things that need mentioning that don't really fit in the previous pages.
Searching
There are now two web-search options on the today screen. The new default is a Windows Live search (which is queried by a Sprint server, for whatever that's worth). You can set it back to the Google search if you like - the option is in a tab under the today screen's preferences. I would have expected the search option to be under the option button for the search plug-in.
In any case, the Windows Live search is actually really nice. Unlike the Google search, the search results page gives you links to both the full version and a stripped-down mobile version of each hit. With the Google engine you go to the mobile version and then scroll down on the actual page to a link to the full version.
Assorted Bits
Voice Command works great (especially with the extra program memory!). Unfortunately, it doesn't work over bluetooth. Turns out this is actually a limitation of WM5, as explained here.
No WiFi. I have to mention that - it's practically archaic that a device this advanced doesn't have WiFi built in. At least the drivers for Palm's WiFi card are built-in and the card works great. In point of fact, you can surf via WiFi while on a call! I suppose that this would theoretically mean you could talk over Skype and the actual phone at the same time.
Battery life seems to be on par with the 700w - it easily gets me through a full day of moderate to heavy data usage and an hour or so of calls. You'll still be happier with an extended life battery. Another similarity: I can't see any appreciable difference in the camera quality between the 700w and the 700wx.
I can't resist posting the "opening the box" photos, either.
