Skype on Treo 700W?
The long awaited Treo 700W has been released. Looks like it's a perfect match for the Skype for Pocket PC. The CPU in Treo is 312MHz (meets the minimum for the low_cpu version). The radio is CDMA EV-DO, so neither latency nor throughput should be a problem. Unless Verizon deliberately blocks Skype packets on their firewalls, everything should work. Treo also has a touchscreen, so the Pocket Controller hack, I described a week ago will no longer be necessary.Unfortunately Treo 700w is not available in Europe, and even if it was, there are not that many EV-DO networks (Eurotel in Czech Republic and Zapp in Romania, but both operate in the 450MHz band). So, hey my American friends, who will be the first to report if it works? Looking forward to your reports....
You have obviously not used skype on the Treo 700w - there is a latency problem when the connection is alive (which is for 10-15 secs) and getting the EVDO to stay on using skype is a big problem (The EVDO keeps dropping off every 20-30 secs which makes Skype unusable.
