At my office, we recently upgraded all of our Treo 650's to 700w's. The biggest problem we had with the 650, is that it doesn't use exchange activesync. Basically, the way the 650 get's email is to do a wireless sync with our exhange server, as opposed to a push/pull thing with the 700w. What this means is if your 650 is in the middle of an email or calendar sync, and you lose your cell signal, it would screw everything up. The next time you check your email, it tells you that it is corrupt and needs to delete all email and start over. Very annoying.
The 700 does not have this problem because, under the same scenario, activesync will just try again when you have a cell signal.
The only thing I don't like about the 700 is that you have to "reboot" it once a week or so because apps don't ever release the memory they use. We found this is what was causing them to lock up. The Windows mobile application base isn't even close to the amount of palm applications too, which sucks.
Please note that we have our phones sync with our internal exchange server, so all of this may not even be applicable to you.
