Ah the Treo 800w, so long rumored yet now almost everyday a new nugget of info leaks out.

Today, courtesy of BGR, we get some traditional "I have a new unreleased techno device but I can't use a camera" shots of the 800w. Nothing unusual or great about them, though the last shot is somewhat nice as it squishes the 800w between a 6800 and a Samsung Upstage.

Conclusion: it seems to be a hair thinner than the 6800, but perhaps that is being generous.

Speaking of info, the latest, updated specs for that 800w are listed below...

Click to read on!

  • MSM-6800 chipset
  • After OS: ~100mb of Program Memory / ~170mb of Storage Memory
  • WM 6.1 (5.2.1944)
  • ARM1136 processor
  • WiFi
  • Rubberized feel to final device
  • Dedicated Wifi button on top
  • Micro-USB connector
  • 2.1mp camera

We'll be keeping our running tabs on those specs here in our forums.

Which leads us finally into the first known "video review" of the 800w coming from Charles Knight.

Perhaps a bit mean? Yes. Hilarious? Definitely (though we feel bad for laughing).

Ouch. Palm is now the geeky, awkward kid in class (but who is also smart and reliable) Eh, either way here at WMExperts we know a few of us will be grabbing the device no matter what the cool and popular kids say ;-)

Thanks to Bigchris and CGK for the tips in our forums!

That was to funny
...the more images I see the more I agree with this video.
@ dieter,

yeah, a lot will obviously depend what that battery is...if it's ~1400mah, then that will at least partially explain that size. OTOH, if it's tiny...yikes.

It'll be very interesting to see the "Raphael" both in size, performance and battery life in comparison.

In similar fashion, looks like if these renderings are correct, the 3g iPhone is quite the fatty too, lol.

I think the posters at BGR were to harsh. I think the 800w is almost perfect. The only thing missing from my 700wx is GPS, a bigger screen and the loss of the antenna. If the 800w had a landscape 240 by 320 screen is would be the last phone I would by for YEARS!!!!

Those posters dont get it. There are plenty on big screened devices and plenty of horizontal slide out KB devices. The treo form factor is the ultimate design. I know many of them were slamming the thickness but cr@p what do you expect. They want it to be as thin as a Touch or an iphone. The touch and iphone are crap devices without all the great hardware that the 800w has such as GPS and a perfect portrait qwerty KB!!!!! I say all hail the 800w the most perfect device made!!!!
That video was hilarious. I hope palm gets to see that,,,,,, OMG I cant stop laughing :D
