Second Photo of Treo 800w: side shot

800w second never seen pic - depth shot

This one I'm not putting on my blog, but I still would like credit if you crosspost this to a blog... Thanks to those that have mentioned the proper credits in the past!

also I'll mention the prototype at least appears to be msm6800 chipset. and wifi is now confirmed as well.

nice

Thats pretty thin. Not the thinnest, but not disappointingly thick either. Is that about 16 mm?

Is that an IR port on the side there?

Surur

looks like an IR slot at the top right..any news on the ringer switch?

Its a prototype so this next info should be taken with some salt:

OS 5.2.1944
ARM1136
mem 101.53

Thanks Shadowmite, I've seen a few people suggest on various blogs that those pictures are of a protype a couple of versions ago and the final one looks significant different.

Know anything about this?

is that a micro/mini sd slot or regular?

what kind of memory card slot does it have?

looks like a mini to me.

is it out on the market now? shadowmite's pic seems to be real. it looks like a centro but in different color. do you happen to know who's going to the the carrie for this model?

Thanks shadowmite...:thumbsup:

hopefully ATT is one of the carriers for this unit.

Shadow -- merged this thread and broke the link you had posted to your site. sorry about that. New link is:

I wonder how the hard OK, start, etc. keys work? You dont see a "crease" or whatever. Are they touch sensitive? The touch sensitive keys on my Lenovo IdeaPad work like s**t. I hope they are mechanical some how.

I have never touched a Centro, so thanks. Its to small for me. I picture my niece using one. I hope the 800 isnt too small for my electricians fingers.

Well the stats look good. If they can just get the stinking thing to sync properly we might be in business.

I am extremely excited for this device, when I look at my 700wx and then this picture it looks like a huge difference in thickness.. Plus, with all of the high end specs this thing is going to do everything I could want out of a smartphone - including full html email that retains font, tons of storage, and even GPS! Another thing... I've always wanted a black treo! I can't believe how much people are bashing it at Treonauts... These pictures are not professional, redone images like those they show of the 750 and Blackberry bold. I can't wait to hold it... I'm sure that when Andrew does over at Treonauts he will be impressed..

I like these images actually. Someone posted about having a glossy black finish on the other thread, to match with other phones... I really hope not, I hate glossy black, too many fingerprints.

Wifi button and that much RAM is awesome. I don't need the IR port, and doubt many do, but its nice.

I'm still unsure about a square screen for WM, not sure how the programs will work with it. (My q9c is the only WM device I've used.)

Ringer switch is a necessity though, its sorely missed on the q9c. As long as the GPS can work independently of cell signal I'm interested, though I'm not sure about a WM Pro device (I've heard WM Pro isn't all that good at one-handed use like WM standard is, and isn't quite as good at memory management.) Still, I'll be watching closely.

Looks great! Even if thats not the final version I'm sure the final version will be just as good. I've never seen a bad looking treo. Cant wait!!!

damn i hope this comes out soon and is half of what we think its gonna be

I hope esn changing is the 'same' as the novatels.. since both of them use MSM6800... (but would need to open up the diag port/status port/GPS port first)

It is strange that the WM is still version 5 and not 6..? otherwise we can import it into the 700wx rom cooking project

Question for Mal re: wi-fi

Mal;

Are you at liberty to state the source of your confirnmed info regarding the top-mounted wi-fi switch/button on the 800w? So far, we've only seen shots of the 800w from the front and the right side (showing the IR window & card door). Nothing yet of the left side, bottom connector, rear body or top panel.

So has Palm decided to go with both the traditional Treo ring/vibrate switch up top as well as a wi-fi toggle?

Any word yet if the 2.5mm headphone jack is still present or has it been replaced by 3.5mm or did they dump it entirely to go entirely Bluetooth?

I just want to say Verizon better have a black one, like in the picture. That thing looks killer! Im in for a non-camera unit as soon as they come out (to VZW).

As for all the 'stuff' it will have, Im sure it will be more than we have now. If they miss a few things or they dont work how we all think they should, who cares, still moving forward. Im under the impression all the PDA companies are working on something bigger than "does it have this and that". When it comes out, everyone will be like: holy :censored: :censored: man, I gotta have that!!!!!! Dont ask me what it will be, Im just a moron with a cool phone.

Ditto. Mal, thanks for the updates/clarifications. I think that it's definitely safe to say that the major specs of the 800w are determined & looking good and we just need to hang in there a bit longer until the small details materialize.

One beef I still have though: I don't know if I'd call the current smartphone industry trendsetters RIM & Apple "holdouts" in regards to the 3.5mm headphone jack. BT A2DP is sort of a doubled-edged sword for most folks and a real love or hate affair for others (myself included). I think that RIM & Apple both feel that the pros & flexibility of the old school 3.5mm jack outweigh the negatives. More so than anything else, this is something I wish Palm would relent on. In particular, the Centro could have a LOT more appeal to the younger hipster crowd with a stereo headphone jack but that's not an argument for the 800w forum...

Two final questions:

Any idea of the 800w is dual OS architecture-friendly? That is, are we possibly looking at the basis for several future handsets (ala 700w/wx/p shared hardware)? The 800w innards would serve (screen resolution & size aside) as a reasonably compelling platform for a debut Nova device in '09.

Finally, any word on who Palm's ODM is for the 800w? HTC, presumably but Asus did the most recent WM Treo (500) so anything is possible.

i just would like to say that i do not understand what the big problem with the 800w. Everyone is ranting and raving on how ugly it is and blah blah. Me personally i think it looks professional. I guess everyone has a different opinion on what professional looks like. And another thing is a lot of ppl say it looks too much like the centro phone .... and im thinking..is that a bad thing?? Just a thought
