Windows Mobile alternative to Treo

There’s a another Windows Mobile 5 smartphone I’ve been testing that I think may be a better alternative to the Treo 700w. It’s the XV6700, a slick-looking, all black Verizon-branded phone that features a sliding keyboard for easier typing. My tests around town show it getting better reception than the Treo 700w I’ve been carrying. The screen is bigger, too, and the sliding keyboard gives you enough room to type without squishing down two keys when you meant to hit one. Cost is $299, same as the Treo.
