Palm Treo 800w - Review
There is a nice review of the Palm Treo 800w over at Mobile Tech Review that you might want to read. I have loved the Palm form factor and have been excited to see and use the new 800w. There is no question in my mind that the one-handed and overall usability of Palm devices is the best.
It is a “competitive phone with GPS, WiFi and EVDO along with a few goodies like Sprint TV. These days, the market is crowded with amply endowed WinMo phones, and the Treo doesn’t stand out or raise the bar. It’s likely audience will be those who are already sold on the Palm usability experience and the Treo’s good ergonomics. The 800w does have one advantage over its keyboarded Windows Mobile competition on Sprint (the HTC Mogul and the Treo 700wx): twice as much memory. That’s an important point for power users who want to run several applications simultaneously.”

I apologize in advance for a couple things… a) The delay getting the video online. 250mb takes a while to upload to YouTube, b) some minor mistakes I made in the video and c) The length of the video. 20+ minutes is a lot to sit through. Of course, if you are in the market for the Palm Treo 800w, it’s worth it to watch.
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions.
