Treo 800w
by Palm, Inc
>>
Read Review (Rating 5/5) <<
Given the state of the smartphone world today, I'm betting that many in the business set won't be getting the message about the Treo 800w, and that's a shame. It's more than competitive with the current generation of BlackBerrys (better, in my opinion) and even holds up fairly decently against the upcoming BlackBerry Bold (except, of course, in the looks department).
As for those of us who like to call ourselves "power users," the 800w has enough speed and space to handle pretty much any app or customization you might want to throw at it. It's a worthy successor to the venerable Treo 700wx, I just wish that it had arrived a year ago.
See TreoCentral's extensive review for more infomation...

Great Phone |
Hate stylus, attached a telescoping metal one (looped around worthless included stylus). Love how it feels to type on, love the screen. Keep chargers all over house and office and use regularly. Like it as well or better then my pre. If I had to choose b/t the 2 phones I would keep the treo 800w. Takes good pictures and does video. Fast internet w/ or w/o wifi. GPS is awesome. Ringers could be louder. Screen is sensative. I think my Treo is sexy.

on my 2nd |
If you don't mind resetting it 3-5 times a day and HORRIBLE battery life, then this phone is for you. Sprint replaced mine once and now the second is failing. Having them send me an HTC Snap next.

this phone is better than a BlackBerry |
This Phone is great. its been one of the fastest one I had. one thing I don't like is th battery life. Palm Should do a Recall for a better Battery!

I love it |
I've had mine now for about a year and did buy the extended battery from Seidio and lasts all day. I love the Windows OS. So much neat software you can add.

Palm is garbage |
I've had Palms for six years. The only halfway decent one was the 650. I've had nine of these in less than 18 mos. All garbage, reset, restart, crash, lockup, crappy software. Getting stuck with the garbage Palm OS software was a mistake. Palm is the stomach virus of PDAs and companies and I cannot believe they are still in business. Their outsourced customer service is terrible too. Crappy product, crappy software, crappy service. Don't make the mistake, get a Blackberry.

Lag in response, lockups, speaker distortion |
Upgraded from the 700WX to the 800W as a long-time Treo owner. I'm going back to the 700 or maybe the HTC Diamond. Very disappointed in Sprint and Palm.

Overall, one of Palm's best so far |
Great processor (755p crashed daily) very fast web, GPS is very nice(must have network access) Battery life better if you don't leave bluetooth/gps on always. Get spare charger/batt (you'll thank me later.
