New details are emerging about a new Treo on deck for Sprint, the 800w. The full-sized, Windows Mobile-powered smartphone is said to be in the beta stage, with Sprint rumored to have sent an email to select business customers who use WiFi and Bluetooth in a pitch for testers.
This means that this device would be the first Treo with WiFi built-in. So far, Palm’s kept WiFi at arm’s length with its smartphones, opting instead for more wireless options like EV-DO and EDGE.
This is notable because the main complaint T-Mobile has with Palm, and according to sources why T-Mobile doesn’t sell Treos, is the lack of WiFi. If it becomes a standard feature, and it likely will, we could see Treos hitting T-Mobile soon.
I’m wondering if the New Treo 800w will have buttons like the 755p. I can not stand the Centro’s buttons they are too small and too close together.
Oh shut the hell up about bottons already! That’s the most insignificant of the centros issues. Tiny buttons is a third grade copout complaint.
