Reviews of the Palm Treo 800w - smartphone - CDMA2000 1X

CNET Review
The Good: The Palm Treo 800w brings the addition of Wi-Fi and GPS. The Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone also offers EV-DO Rev. A support; a higher resolution touch screen; a slimmer design; and a 2-megapixel camera.
The Bad: The Treo 800w can be sluggish at times and call quality could be better. The QWERTY keyboard may also give users some problems.
The Bottom Line: With the addition of Wi-Fi and GPS, the Palm Treo 800w finally catches up to some of its competition and even offers a better design. The Windows Mobile smartphone will be a good fit for Sprint's business customers, if the battery life can keep up.
