Palm Treo 800w (Sprint)

By (cnet.com)

The Palm Treo 800w brings the addition of Wi-Fi and GPS. The Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone also offers EV-DO Rev. A support; a higher resolution touch screen; a slimmer design; and a 2-megapixel camera.

The Treo 800w can be sluggish at times and call quality could be better. The QWERTY keyboard may also give users some problems.

With the addition of Wi-Fi and GPS, the Palm Treo 800w finally catches up to some of its competition and even offers a better design. The Windows Mobile smartphone will be a good fit for Sprint's business customers, if the battery life can keep up.

The Palm Treo 800w is infinitely more compact than the Palm Treo 700p. One bi...

Palm Treo 800W

By Troy Dreier (pdastreet.com)

The Treo 800W, surprisingly, is the first Treo to offer Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g). How Palm let something so basic go for so long is a mystery, but it's here now so the past is forgiven. Palm has even added a convenient Wi-Fi button to the top of the...

Review: Palm Treo 800W

By Troy Dreier (smartphonetoday.com)

Also new, and not nearly so long overdue, is GPS reception. The device can pinpoint your location and even find nearby businesses (give it a long time to lock onto your position, the first time you use it). The 800W is only carried by Sprint, and for $2.9...

Business users who prefer Palm should definitely pick up the Treo 800w, which is available for $249 from Sprint with a two-year contract. GSM users, however, will want the sleek new Treo Pro, which we'll be reviewing in the next couple weeks. Check back f...

Palm fans can relax for a little while: the handheld giant delivered a fine c...

If you hold the OK button down it will show y... 

works like a computer with scrolling and x-ing out and task manager. One-note for awesome note taking. Will run Forex. Really fast internet. Easy to change applications. Easy to hold to ear- like how thick it is.

Just need to order extra battery & charger from Palm for 59.99

"WORST PHONE EVER! SHAME ON YOU TREO AND SPRINT!"

By lv2laff (cnet.com)

This phone is the worst phone I have ever own... 

Better internet connectivity than 650. That is the only good thing I can say about this phone.

Constantly freezes up-after charging, NO 2 functions at once, like incoming calls while talking orTM. Battery life short. Pray for no 911 calls b/c will be frozen. Must reboot AT LEAST 6 times a day. Phone dials on its own. Drops calls.

"Great Smart Phone!"

By banshee9x (cnet.com)

Great phone, don't knock on the battery until... 

Awesome Phone! Lots are complaining about the battery life. I have not had one issue with this as there is a firmware update you can download and install and battery last like any of my old phones. Its a very stable phone and lots of apps for it.

The speaker phone, its very loud but not very clear. Sounds like youll blow out the speaker if you use it alot much. The keypad is small, but I have smaller thumbs so I dont have many issues, but I could see problems people can have with big thumbs.
