Not and be stable i would imagine.

Nope. Not unless you want to spend a bunch of time rewriting the OS and every winmob program you want to use to work with the 320x320 screen.

I never understood why they went to a smaller screen with the 700w!

It's an OS limitation.

P stands for Palm much like W stands for windows.

I don't understand why you would bother asking such a question. If you want a Windows based phone, buy that. If you want a palm based phone, buy that.

These things aren't interchangeable. When was the last time you purchased a Windows PC and then suddenly one day said to yourself, I'd really like to install OS X on my PC...

Do you purchase other phones like Sanyo and be like, well I'd really like the Samsung menus on it?

LOL... sorry Homertime but you can install Mac OS X on a PC! lol... The legality of it it still questionable, but it is very easy to do.

Anyway.... if you want the Palm OS, get the 700p, want Windows Mobile, get the 700w, or 700wx, or 750, or 750v. Way too many Treo's running WM now!

I guess I should have prefaced this post with: "I received this phone from work and I really, really need the ability to stream windows media"

Oh well, its their fault for giving me this phone without realizing I would need Windows based software...

It was from another thread, I mentioned that this question gets asked alot... and someone pointed out that mentioning that there were a lot of these lately would just bring on more threads like this one...

They didn't. They just used a higher resolution screen for the 700p. It doesn't make the 700w unreadable or anything.
