Palm Treo 800w Released - Review

by admin on July 14, 2008

Palm Treo 800w

The Palm Treo 800w released today after a long anticipated wait. The Treo 800w is the device from Palm to take the place of the aging 700wx, and it comes in at $249.99 after a 2 year contract.

Really on the surface the Palm 800w doesn’t look anything spectacular, i was really expecting something with more of a wow factor however it has a fairly modest appearance. The Palm Treo 800w has dimensions of 4.41″ x 2.28″ x .73″ and weighs 5 ounces with battery so it’s quite small and it has a soft touch finish to deter marks from general handling. Also, it’s looses the external antenna that’s good for poking eyes out.. About time!

The screen is a whopping 320×320 in dimensions, and it is recessed in to the unit to prevent scratching and it also sports the usual QWERTY keypad, a 5 way direction pad and 2 soft buttons with 6 regular buttons. So this is 2 more buttons to push than the Palm Treo 700wx. Also on the back it sports a 2 Megapixel Camera and a very rounded shape, and on the right side of the unit an IR port and a MicroSD Memory slot. Over on to the left side, there’s the volume controls and nothing else.
