FORTUNE: Review of the Treo 700w Smartphone

According to Bill Gates, this will be his next phone. Unfortunately, at the present time it's only available on Verizon (cross off using the phone outside of the US), and VZW's EV-DO data plan runs $60/month in addition to the voice plan. The other downside is cost: $599 without a service contract; $399 with a two-year contract.

Is this the "perfect storm" of convergence? We'll see, but it looks pretty cool so far. I'm sure a GSM version isn't far behind, but at this point I'm so happy with my Blackberry 7105t, it would take a lot to get me to switch.
