Palm Treo 800w has been Officially Released
Sprint has released new Palm Treo 800w packed with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system. Palm was for long time the king of Personal Digital Assistants that eventually began to be replaced by powerful handheld devices running with operating systems other than Palm OS, forcing the company to develop new devices from which Palm Treo has been challenging with other contenders in the market. Palm Treo 800w is still considered a PDA with phone capabilities by purists who have tried most of the PalmPilot handheld devices, nonetheless Palm Treo has conquered a place in the smartphone niche rivaling with Blackberry smartphones and similar devices. Despite Palm launched a prototype of the new Treo 800w a few months ago, its tentative features were not confirmed until its official release this week. Effectively, Palm Treo 800w supports EV-DO Rev.0. H, as it was expected, and enjoys Sprint’s Mobile Broadband Network and Wi-Fi 802.11 B/G for high-speed GPS and data transfer.

Like previous Treo models, the new PDA has a built-in QWERTY keyboard, but also includes one-touch buttons to access commonly used features, and Palm’s classic five-navigation buttons. Windows Mobile on board provides users with Microsoft Exchange Server, Professional Developer Program, and tools to deploy OSGI and GUI based applications based on Titan platform, a Java Sun JavaTM Wireless Toolkit provided by Sprint.
Sprint revealed through its press release that “The Treo 800w is Palm’s most business-friendly phone yet. IT departments can simplify infrastructure and lower costs with a direct connection to Microsoft Exchange Server, giving users up-to-date email, contacts, calendars and access to other productivity applications.” Even though, we advise you to check with your local Sprint provider the GPS coverage, and data services that are provided at additional cost.
