treo 800w

The Palm Treo 800w adds GPS navigation, WiFi and a few tricks the 3G iPhone lacks.

The latest Palm Treo boasts a tactile QWERTY keyboard, a hardware WiFi switch, turn-by-turn navigation, and Bluetooth support for stereo music headsets.

WiFi, never before offered on a Treo, is also included here. Unlike most smartphones, the 800w has a hardware button that turns on its WiFi circuitry and triggers the search for an 802.11b/g access point.

The phone makes no attempt to slim down. It is relatively thick at 0.7 inches and has 320 x 320 touchscreen display.

On the plus side, the retention of a tactile QWERTY keyboard should please former Treo owners or those cross-shopping a Blackberry.
