The 700w was also addressed in Gates' keynote speech:
"Another thing we're committed to is Windows Mobile .. 93 operators in 55 countries ... This one you've probably heard about - it's our partnership with Palm. This phone is amazing for single-hand operation. Based on the experience they had, they brought that to the Windows Mobile platform. This is on sale, starting tomorrow, ahead of schedule. They got approval from Verizion (EV-DO). Any sort of attachments, images, will be fantastic because of the bandwidth."
