Compairson of Three Cellular & Wireless PDAs

Was visiting a few websites and have run by an excellent compairson/reivew of three very popular cellular wireless PDAs (or "smartphones" for the techie crowd): the Palm Treo 650 and 700w and the Sprint PPC-6700 (similar models are the Cingular 8125, Verizon XV-6700, and a number of other devices based on the HTC Wizard reference design - see this to get an idea of what's out there).

If you're in the market for a PDA smartphone, you've got a lot of great choices. Here at Computing Unplugged, we've been tracking the war between Palm and Pocket PC devices since January of 1998, so when Palm came out with their first Pocket PC smartphone, we thought this event worthy of investigation.
In this article, we're letting three leading devices shoot it out. The big news, of course, is Palm's Treo 700w, their first foray into the Pocket PC world and possibly a taste of the future of Palm handhelds. Another exciting device is the PPC-6700, Sprint's version of the amazingly powerful and versatile device we reviewed previously in its Verizon incarnation.

This review is conducted by Computing Unplugged and can be read in full here. If you are in the US (or nearby), then these are possibly the best models of this class of devices.
