Palm Treo 800w for Sprint
We are fond of the dedicated WiFi button that is located at the top of the Treo, and just overall pleased that Sprint allowed both WiFi and 3G data on the device at all - something that doesn't always happen...As was the case with other Windows Mobile Professional powered Treos, Palm has added a number of its own usability enhancements to the 6.1 version of the OS that the Treo 800w...

Tim Hillebrand on Mobile: The Palm Treo 800w
It has been quite some time since Palm has come to the table with a new Windows Mobile Professional device: enter the Treo 800W, WM 6.1...This means that you can’t use the old Treo cradles, and you have to pack yet another cable and charger when traveling—not a good thing...To make matters even worse, the micro USB cable supplied in the box is only good for syncing, not charging...I
