Unfortunately for a good section of people in the Northeast US, Cingular is the big player here. For me, my 650 works great on the Cingular network.. but the 700p has some features I could definitely use (more ram, better camera).

I just called Palm and spoke with "Megan" there, and she said that the 700p is not compatible with anything but Sprint and Verizon (CDMA only), and that the physical phone can't accept a SIM card. I've verified this by checking the local Treo in the store, and it doesn't even have a slot like the 650 does.

So I guess I wait for a Treo on Cingular, or go with a SLVR and give up my Palm smartphone for good. The SLVR + my T3 seems like the best option so far.
