The Palm Treo 800w is the newest smartphone to hit the market and it is quickly becoming a hit among consumers. Palm is hoping that the new Treo will make some sort of dent into the Apple iPhone.
Sprint launched online sales of the Treo 800w, the Windows Mobile-based Treo model, hoping to capitalize on the fading Apple iPhone 3G fever, which hit its peak when Apple launched the device Friday morning. The latest Treo runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional as its operating system, a Treo choice for Microsoft purists not wanting to run Palm’s own OS. The Treo 800w also features GPS, Wi-Fi and EVDO Rev. A.
