Both also tap the power of Verizon’s extensive EV-DO broadband cellular network for data downloads up to 700 Kbps. They even look identical at a casual glance. But there are some differences that might make a difference in which model you choose.

It’s easy to keep the 700p and 700w straight. The "p" stands for Palm operating system. The "w" stands for Windows Mobile operating system. Both operating systems run on the Intel 312 MHz XScale processor. The 700p has 128 MB of memory available vs. 60 MB for the 700w. Both are expandable using SecureDigital (SD) memory cards.

Another significant hardware difference is the color main displays. The 700p sports a 320 x 320 pixel TFT display, while the resolution of the 700w TFT display is 240 x 240 pixels. Both are capable of resolving over 65,000 colors.

With a common processor, you would expect battery life to be the same for both models. Indeed, it is. Talk time is up to 282 minutes. The 700w is rated for a slightly longer maximum standby time of 360 hours vs. 300 hours for the 700p.
