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...

I am a business professional and got this pho... 

WiFi, Slim profile, PDA functionality, and touchscreen.

Battery life with PDA usage, Charging capability, and Phone not turning on after battery died. I did experience sluggishness/freeze a couple of times also. Alarm volume is also too low. No way I know of to turn off the PDA functions.

"How to fix the battery to make it a good phone..."

By Jimbo10003 (cnet.com)

I was appalled by the battery life at first. ... 

GPS, Wi-Fi, phone as modem, lot of apps and other features. And a battery problem that can be fixed.

Start page is a little disorganized and the max font isn't all that large.

"Stay Away!"

By kebby03 (cnet.com)

I thought this would be a step up from my Bla... 

The features- the wifi is a nice touch, so is the REV A EvDO, also liked the chat style text messaging.

Windows Mobile is the main problem. Constantly crashes, mainly messaging application, this requires a complete reset of phone. Battery life with original battery is terrible at best.
