Gear Diary Review: Sprint Treo 800w

Posted by: Brandon Steili on Aug 14 2008

I’m not going to say a whole heck of a lot on this one. First - I want one. Second - no way I’m leaving AT&T and Third … WTF took so long for this phone to finally start hitting the streets?! (Oh and still no word on a GSM version.)

1. The Palm 800w is not meant to compete with the Apple iPhone
2. The Palm 800w is not meant to replace your iPod
3. The Palm 800w is not meant to wow you with slick graphics and smexxy web browsing

However, the Palm 800w will:
1. Wow you with its amazing one-handed navigational skills and excellent keyboard
2. Allow you to be more connected that you possibly want to be, through the use of Exchange, Instant Messaging, Email, Texts, Voice, and Internet Sharing
3. Remind you of the things you like about the Windows Mobile Operating System, while providing a surprisingly stable experience

If you can get past the fact that the Treo 800w is not an iPhone and it is not trying to be an iPhone replacement, then you will find yourself enjoying all that it is capable of doing. Do I want one? Yes. But not enough to go back to Sprint…
