Detailed Treo 800w Specs Revealed
Rumor: After last week's flurry of leaked Verizon Treo 800w images and further Sprint release date + pricing info, some concrete specs of Palm's next Treo have finally come forward, courtesy of this TreoCentral forum post.
The Treo 800w's feature set does look to be almost completely mimicked by its trendier, smaller, and later-arriving GSM sister device, the Treo 850. The earlier pre-production leaked photos and specs of the 800w are a close match to the device's production appearance.

The device's specs are essentially identical to what has long been rumored. Unfortunately this seems to confirm that audio-out functionality will be handled entirely via Bluetooth A2DP or via a microUSB-to-3.5mm stereo headphone adapter included in the box; no 2.5mm or 3.5mm headphone/headset jacks are built into the new Treos. The only remaining item that has yet to be confirmed is whether or not the device will be EVDO Rev.A-enabled out of the box. The hardware and OS are fully compliant but may require Rev. A activation via a future software update.
Additionally, the Treo 800w comes in as the highest-clocked Palm smartphone ever though not by much. A 333mhz unspecified TI processor is listed above (vs. the 312mhz TI OMAP CPU seen on every Palm OS smartphone and the Treo 700's 300mhz Samsung CPU).
It's also good to see Windows Mobile 6.1 finally confirmed as the default OS, as some users feared the 800w would ship with WM 6.0 standard, with 6.1 offered as a downloadable update at some point in the future. The surprising inclusion of IR and an external antenna port round out the remaining minor but nevertheless interesting details offered by these leaked specifications.
As reported here last week, the current crop of rumors indicates that the 800w will debut on Sprint sometime around July 13th, followed by its arrival on the Verizon network in Q3 08 (sometime in the next 3-6 months). The 800w will carry a final sales price of ~$250, assuming the customer signs up for a 2-year contract and fulfills the requirements for several mail-in and/or instant rebates.

My gut feeling is that HEADSET usage will be BT-only...but I've seen nothing to confirm this one way or another.
It's entirely possible that the provided microUSB adapter is just for 3.5mm stereo HEADPHONES. Of course, it's entirely possible that wired headsets are supported if you use a kludge of microUSB to 3.5mm adapter then a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter to your wired headset.
Whoever (Nokia?) came up with the 2.5mm headset standard (and the myriad of imcompatible flash memory card formats and mini/micro/HC variants) should be flogged. EVERYTHING was fine for decades in the world of personal/portable stereos with 3.5mm stereo headphone ports.

Its great to see it there because last year Nokia and all the other big players of mobile world agreed on using the same microUSB in their new phones (it was in the news somewhere definetely), so now the Treo could be compatible with their accessories, cables, etc

Leaving out the audio jack is a big change. I guess Palm got tired of all the replacements it had to do due to failed jacks. I have been a big fan of wired headsets especially in the car. Looks like I need to find the "perfect BT headset." Do we know if the mini-USB port will allow a wired audio connection via an adapter?
