Treo 800w official--but not yet for Asia

John Chan | Jul 14, 2008

US operator Sprint has the Treo 800w for sale now. This is Palm's latest Windows Mobile phone and comes with GPS and Wi-Fi. Yes, you heard right, a Treo with W-Fi. Palm finally managed to put all the required wireless radios into one of its PDA-phones, years behind the competition. That's not going to matter to those who love the Treo keyboard and are used to the form factor, so we expect this new 800w to do all right.

Here's the bad news. Sprint uses a CDMA network, and the 800w that it's selling won't have the W-CDMA and GSM wireless radios we need here in Asia. If we know Palm, a GSM version should already be in the works. Those who want one here will just have to be patient for now. A similar model currently available here is the Samsung SGH-i780. Check that out if you haven't already.
