But even still, you have to admit that the specs *are* looking pretty good on this device. A 320x320 screen is certainly impressive, and what other CDMA phone is available in this small of a form factor with Windows Mobile Professional, WiFi, and GPS?

The switch to mini-USB will possibly (and finally) make hacking a CDMA Windows Mobile Treo a reality, allow access to ubiquitous USB chargers and sync cables, and improve transfer speeds that the old Athena connector limited.]]>Jan 24th 2008 11:07AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/Every Treo board imaginable has been bashing you forever about not including a standard 3.5mm jack. Many Treo audio jacks are failing, probably due to the rediculous converter that must go on the 2.5mm.
It's one thing to not listen to your customers. It's entirely another matter to actively try and make them angry.]]>Jan 24th 2008 11:49AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/
The reason is simple. Most people use Bluetooth headsets, not wired ones.

The Centro is thick and narrow. Just narrow enough to make the keyboard even less useable for all other than children. Just narrow enough to shrink the already tiny 320x320 screen down even more. Sounds real exciting.]]>Jan 24th 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/Jan 24th 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/

I personally don't want a phone as thin as the iphone. I too think that the centro is too narrow, but I don't think it too thick either. It feels great in hand (other than how slippery it is). If the 800w has all of the cool Palm tweaks that the 700wx brought to WM (and maybe some new ones) and includes mini USB, WiFi and GPS then I will be all over this thing. I love the one handedness of the Palm.

I am growing tired of finding the best ROM for my Mogul that runs stable and doesn't run out RAM with only a couple of programs open. I've given up on using BT with the Mogul too. If the reviews of the final product look good, then all I can say is "Palm to the Rescue". I never thought I'd say that in 2008.

BTW, Although I've referred many people to Palm devices, I've never owned one myself.]]>Jan 24th 2008 1:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/Jan 24th 2008 1:14PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/Jan 24th 2008 8:58PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/Jan 24th 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/Jan 24th 2008 6:02PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/Jan 24th 2008 2:42PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/
I think this would look fine if it were thin. Looks sort of sciency, like a field unit for testing midichlorians.

Bet Bono doesn't use a Palm despite owning the joint.]]>Jan 24th 2008 6:08PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/Jan 24th 2008 8:42PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/Jan 24th 2008 8:53PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/Jan 24th 2008 10:39PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/24/more-palm-800w-specs-leak-out-no-change-in-ugliness/
