Verizon Wireless e-mailed me their plans and pricing for the new Treo 700p last night. The new Palm smartphone will arrive in stores "within the next few weeks," which puts Verizon's delivery around the same time as Sprint's version. (Sorry, Cingular and T-Mobile folks - you're out of luck.)

Like Sprint, Verizon will sell the Treo 700p for $399.99 with a two-year contract.

Verizon will sell the handheld with three special voice/data plans. For $79.99/month, you get 450 minutes and unlimited data. $109.99/month gets you 1350 minutes with unlimited data, and $169.99/month gets you 4000 minutes with unlimited data. All three plans come with unlimited calling to other Verizon subscribers and unlimited nights and weekends. If you want to tether your Treo to your laptop via Bluetooth or a USB cable (to use the Treo as a modem on Verizon's fast EV-DO network), add $15/month.

Unfortunately, the Verizon Treo 700p won't be able to access Verizon's V CAST video service. I'm mentioning this because Sprint's model is the first handheld to run Sprint's Sprint TV service. But there's no implementation of Verizon's BREW application platform for the Palm OS (or for Windows Mobile, for that matter), so it's tough to get certain Verizon services onto handhelds.
