The Palm Treo 800W is in competition with the New Blackberry Unlocked Phones. It is an updated version of the 700W and includes an internal antenna, GPS, WiFi, higher resolution in the display, 2 megapixel camera and Bluetooth with stereo capabilities. It also includes Windows Mobile 6.1, touch screen menu, a QWERTY keyboard for faster messaging and an expansion slot for a memory card. This phone is specifically designed for Sprint, so you must be a Sprint customer or be willing to switch in order to own the Palm Treo 800W. Unfortunately the Palm Treo 800W is not currently being offered in the Verizon Cell Phones or Unlocked GSM Phones lines. So, therefore If you have a preference for a different carrier, you will not be able to use the Palm Treo 800W with them (this includes ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon, Alltel, Cricket, Ntelos and others).

The processor on the 800W is reasonably fast which is great for those who do a great deal of messaging, emailing or Internet use. It is a definite improvement over the 700W but there may be some areas in which Palm could still do some work. It does include streaming video capabilities which is an important feature for sports fans and others who would like to capture things in real time. In addition to streaming video, it also has video capture, so in the overall stream of things the 800W is a great Smartphone in which to invest.
