Telus Treos - which one to get

I am trying to decide what PDA/smartphone to get. Since I'm with Telus, my options are pretty limited and I think I've narrowed it down to the various Treo options - 650, 700p or 700wx.

My main requirement for the phone is that it must synch well with MS Outlook (I need my calendar, contacts, notes and to do list on my phone). I currently have a Nokia 6265i but it doesn't synch very well and the memory is limited.

I DO NOT use my phone for email, IM or surfing of any kind.

It would be a bonus if I could open some MS Office documents on the phone.

Any suggestions?

Any significant advantages between the Palm OS and the Windows Mobile?

I'm looking at a couple of phones on craig's list and kijiji so if anyone's had experience with either of those boards, your comments would be welcome.

Thanks!
 
Hi,

I've had the Treo 650, and I had a great experience with it.

I believe the 650 has a higher talk time that the others, cellphones.ca rates it at 360 minutes of talks and the 700's at 270 minutes.

You can open MS office documents on the 700wx, and the others support it as well, but you may need additional 3rd party software. I'm not sure if you actually do need it, because I never used MS office on mine, maybe somebody more experienced could comment on that.

They all should work fine with MS Office Outlook for syncing, but again, I use mac os x, so maybe somebody more experienced could comment on that as well.

Aside from all that, the 700's have a 1.3 megapixel camera, while the 650 has a VGA (0.3) megapixel camera. I'm sure there are more differences, minor or not, but that's the only one i can think of off the top of my head.
