PCWorld.com has placed their top-five chart of recent PDA/Smartphones from the September issue of PC World Magazine up online. Who’s number one? Palm’s Treo 700p.
Despite a steep price ($650 with a two-year contract from Sprint) and unimpressive battery performance, the 700p wowed us with its thoughtful design and lightning-fast speed. Like the Windows Mobile-based Treo 700w (number four on our chart), the 700p includes support for high-speed EvDO networks, which makes surfing the Web using its Blazer Web browser a real pleasure.
Where was BlackBerry on the chart? Well, actually, it didn’t make it, with the BlackBerry 8700g coming in at an “also-ran” number six. The full rankings can be found after the jump.
#1 Palm Treo 700p (81%)
#2 T-Mobile Sidekick 3 (80%)
#3 T-Mobile MDA (79%)
#4 Palm Treo 700w (79%)
#5 Motorola Q (78%)
