So assuming this is not more misinformation or technological confusion, this appears to be the first (some-what) official acknowledgement by Sprint, which is quite significant and it jives well with other information.

Recently in the TC forums and on WMExperts, there has been a lot of discussion of what the upcoming Palm Treo 800w will have for hardware and what features it will contain. No doubt that many will judge the device just on pure numbers e.g. how much memory, how fast a processor and, if like the recent AT&T Tilt, it has all the technological bells and whistles that could be crammed in. While the hardware specs are certainly important, I’d also argue *how* that hardware is implemented and integrated in the OS is just as significant, if not more so.

It will likely drop Verizon’s “multimedia home” display, and may not support Sprint Music Store.... Samsung BlackJack International (CDMA/GSM) - With AT&T’s exclusivity agreement with Samsung about to end, Sprint will be picking up the BlackJack with international roaming support.

All in all, it looks like it belongs to the low-end Zire family of Palm devices The anonymous source provided a set of images below of the Treo 800 as well as a short video clip (coming later).... He goes on to describe the keyboard as “very smaller” (sic) than the Treo 650 and 680 and that the keys are a soft translucent plastic.

I thought that I was being pretty optimistic when I posted my expectations for the (apparently) upcoming Treo 800w, which I think is going to be nearly identical to the pictured 755p at right. But I'm not nearly as hopeful as a tipster who sent the following specs to Gizmodo:
Lots and lots of improvements for Sprint users over what they can get right now with the 700wx, including EV-DO REV A., Windows Mobile 6, a 320x320 display (now supported on WM6), 256MB flash, 128MB RAM, a 1.3-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and an expansion slot.

...Two bits. Bit #1: I still suspect that Verizon will get it first as it appeared on their roadmap and Palm likes to spread the exclusivity love around as much as possible. Bit #2: It would be nice to finally see Palm release a powerhouse device that included GPS and WiFi, but I seriously doubt it. I don't even expect Rev A., to be blunt. Sorry to be blunt, but I just don't believe that the hardware for the 800w will be that significantly different from the PalmOS Treo 755p. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to combine a *hosanna* with a *mea culpa* - but I don't think I'm wrong. Now, Palm, quit letting all those carriers you work with leak out any more stuff about your upcoming products, I'm tired of writing about you today.

Pictured at right, the PalmOS Treo 755p on Sprint. Shuffle some branding and, er, the *Operating System* and I strongly suspect you'll be looking at the new Treo 800w on Verizon. Palm has long said that they want to standardize their hardware so they don't have to keep redesigning products so they can put PalmOS or WM on it. The rumored 800w looks to be the fruits of that standardization.
Or so I think, being relatively steeped in Palm lore. So, going with the same assumption that the 800w will share the same hardware as the 755p (much in the same way that the 700w and the 700p are nearly identical), we should expect this new Verizon 800w to have:
- 320x320 resolution touchscreen (joy!)
- Antenna-less design
- EVDO, but likely not Rev A (boo!)
- A decent 312mhz processor
An unnamed source on HowardForums has posted what is supposedly a timetable of upcoming releases for Verizon. This lists a previously unknown device, the Palm Treo 800w.If this information is correct, this model will launch on September 13, after having been moved back from August 27.
