When being used as a mobile phone, the speaker and microphone are on the back of the i700, so the screen isn't touching the user's face.

Thats an interesting implementation IMO... However, when you dial a number, do you have constantly flip the mobile to the to the opposite side to listen/talk? That would be very annoying... |

Similar in specs to the SGH-500 - but i'll take the Palm
The SGH-500 does it for me more - more of a phone, better res, PalmOS, just as fast (?), SDIO (according to what i read yesterday).

No. The reporters are mistaking the speakerphone on the back as the headset. This phone's headset and mic is in the front, not on the back. |

I got a demonstration of this device at CES. The speaker and micrphone are on the back. I don't think this will be inconvenient. Cleaning oils from your face off the screen, now that's inconvenient.

Hey Ed, I just read something from Dale at PPCPassion and he says that the speaker and mic are frontside. ???
He claims to have used one as well.  |

You sure you're not confusing this with the Hitachi model with the built-in thumbboard? Perhaps that one has the speaker/mic on the back?

According to my local newspaper, Verizon is set to announce new pricing for its high-speed data service. The blurb in the paper said that in some markets the price would be up to 30% less than it is currently. This probably will still be quite a bit more than Sprint's plan, but I welcome any and all price reductions.
