Comments on: Treo 800w Appears on Possible Sprint Roadmap

Rumor: The long awaited and perpetually rumored Treo 800w has made an appearance on a leaked slide from a possible Sprint smartphone roadmap. Originating from a forum post at the SprintUsers.com message board, the slide shows the Treo 800w may debut sometime in July and includes a few device features. Assuming the leaked Sprint roadmap is accurate, the listed specs coincide perfectly with most of the earlier reports of the device's specs: Palm's first device with WM6 standard, its first 320x320 Windows Mobile product, Palm's first wi-fi and GPS-enabled smartphone, and its first EVDO Rev.A device of any kind. The only rumor that seems to be dispelled by this roadmap is that the 800w is destined to ship with Windows Mobile 6.1 standard.

 Camera/No Camera option

It's great to see the Camera/No Camera option. That combined with WiFi & GPS just might persuade me to shift from Palm OS & my beloved Kyocera 7135 to the dark side......if only it was clamshell form factor & had WiMax.....

 That timeline looks a little odd.

Shows the timeframe of the timeline from Feb to April, and yet the Blackberry shows a release of April and is in the Feb area. The 800W shows that it's coming out in July, and it's at the end of the timeline, in April.

If it's for PDAs that are coming out between Feb and July, why not have the timeline reflect that?

Alright, the Blackberry is in between Mar & Apr, though the comment about the 800W still is correct.

 PDAs are NOT dead.

Just look at the title of that slide. 'Nuff said.
