Palm Treo 800w
The Palm Treo 800W has managed to capture all the functionality of the earlier 700W while adding a few more bells and whistles. At the same time, the 800W is still around the same size and weight, which makes it a nice fit for people who like the styling and carriage of Palm units.
One of the enhancements to the 800W has to do with the screen resolution. While the 700W was good, the 800W is better. The colors are crisper and brighter, which makes the display much easier to read even when in sunlight. Along with the great display, the QWERTY keyboard on the 800W is probably among the easiest to use on the market today. Unlike some keyboards that feel cheap or have wobbly keys, the keyboard on this unit is stable and provides a sense of really tapping away at a quality keyboard.
All the essentials are part of the 800W. There is a great camera as well as the all important memory card slot. You can set up your address book for voice dialing and picture display for inbound and outbound calls. The speakerphone feature has excellent sound quality, which can come in handy in a lot of situations.
Weighing in at 5 oz, the 800W is not the lightest phone on the market, but is a great fit in the hand and very easy to use. The addition of an internal antenna helps to keep the device looking a little more compact. For good measure, you can enjoy a GPS navigation feature that does not take an engineer to work. The presence of Bluetooth doesn't hurt a bit either. If you are looking for a solid hand held device, this one is well worth considering.
Pros
- Great sound quality on calls
- High resolution display
- Dedicated Wi-Fi Button
Cons
- The unit falls short on battery life, especially when using all of the bells and whistles
- Uses Windows Mobile 6.1, which is not the favorite of many users
- No improvements on weight and size over the 700w
Overall
With so many features included, the Palm Treo 800W has more than just about all the essentials. Both business and personal users will find this unit worth considering.
