Palm Treo 800w review

[WuHa105]

It's a very nice phone, looks sleek too, but it's so complicated. I don't need a smart phone, just a text messaging phone, but I may be buying a used one for $40... anyone know if this is good?

(I would just be using it as a basic phone)

[Cheddabob135]

@WuHa105 i use this phone everyday for my normal phone, i just use it for text messaging and phone calls! i love it! its very durable! im a mechanic and constantly drop my phone, this is by far the strongest touchscreen smartphone out there!

[jorgecoolman]

does it need a data plan

[emi23lian]

HEYYYYYY please tell me... as I put the hour in my screen when this dull one? just as you have your it

[Lgroth01]

this phone sucks ! Im on my 2nd one already since february of this year

[MooseBaker]

Haha, only your second!? I'm on my 4th!!!

[deeznuts430]

I think the downfall about this phone is the sending pictures - you can only send pics or files through email - cannot send pics through phone numbers

[deeznuts430]

oh and the battery life wish they made it last longer - just lower the brightness and make sure you use task manager and close any programs you are not using, that can also drain your battery

[deeznuts430]

GPS is not bad for a phone it works. just have a car charger because that gps drains your battery!!!

[MooseBaker]

They came out with an app to send picture mail

[Ge01202]

@MooseBaker were do you get the app

[MooseBaker]

Sprints web site, if you cant find it call tech support, THERE IS A APP, dont let them tell you otherwise, I only know this phone to be with sprint so if your using it in other places idk how to help you.

[Ge01202]

@MooseBaker o ok thank you i have it for sprint i called them when i first got the phone and they told me that you cant so really thanks alot =)

[MooseBaker]

Np, they can now for sure, its for all windows mobile phones, so get on them. Tell me if you have trouble ill track it down myself

[Ge01202]

i cant find it can u help

[Ge01202]

@deeznuts430 i noe it sucks i dont like the phone its sucks

[dragoonmaster1781]

I hope the GPS works on this one, cuz my Pearl fails all the time

[purpledaisy94]

is it going to come out in verizon?

[MarmarAkaSeiryu]

i like both the blackberry and the palm devices i luv all the treos but the only problem palm really has is that they lack versitility (sp) and imagination when it comes to looks 4 the phones

[kemexa]

hey dude thx for the info, i jut got a treo 800w :D

[moto815]

my bro have this phone & i was playing with it,not bad i want one..my question is what year did this phone came out?

[MO3iusONE]

About 4 years ago aha jk. No I believe it came out almost a year ago.. my only problem with this phone is that it looks so outdated.

[gtc311]

[heeseung5]

[bonjourbarbie]

Palm phones are seriously HIDEOUS, it wishes it could be as cool as the Blackberry.

[buckwheat40]

You dumbfuck, I think Palm makes some nice looking phones I love this one and the centro. You are a moron!!!! Just stop making comments!!!!

[xxCoolbreeze]

palms are the shit

[dragoonmaster1781]

my blackberry sux, have a pearl, but my step-mom has a bold and its nice lookin.

[doubleshuffle87]

shit

[ericmc420]

THATS A STUPID FUCKING PHONE!!!!!!

[TrixAreForKi]

Where your phone at, dick head?

[mobileburn]

BTW, add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL to see it in the high quality version. I have no idea why it doesn't offer that automatically.

[sergiothatguy]

Thanks for note.

[Airpuppet26]

Is this coming to AT&T anytime soon? or is it only for sprint?

[mobileburn]

This particular version is only for Sprint, but Palm has often in the past made multiple versions for multiple carriers. I expect we will see it on networks beyond Sprint eventually, but whether or not AT&T, I can't really say.

[jellotime91]

If you want it bad enough and already have a contract with AT&T you could buy it unlocked since it's available through Rogers on GSM in Canada.

The drawback is it costs a LOTTT.. and unlocked would be even more painful a price lol

[mobileburn]

That is the Centro you are thinking of.  They look similar but have little in common. The Centro is already available from AT&T.
