Sprint's Treo 800w manual goes online, all 436 spellbinding pages of it

Very rarely does a Palm handset go fully under the radar all the way through to the official announcement (if ever?), and now that we have a user's manual, we can pretty much declare the impending Treo 800w fully, completely, and utterly scooped. This is definitely the real deal, too, coming straight off Sprint's site -- not to say anyone would go to the trouble of faking their own -- and unveils no real surprises that we can see. The usual Windows Mobile 6.1 interface with Palm customizations, conservative styling (we're being generous there), and typical array of Sprint add-ons like Sprint TV are going to make this a safe, easy choice for the well-starched suit in your life, and that's about it. Not to say we have a problem with well-starched suits; Engadget corporate policy requires that we wear them at all times, actually. [Warning: PDF link]

Good Luck Chuck! It looks like the manual was pulled. Good to know someone in our company is looking out for our competitive edge. No matter what wireless carrier someone is employed through, anyone leaking information that is either proprietary and/or internal only or before the offical launch date of a product or service I feel, IMHO, should be terminated for cause as well as prosecuted to the fullest extend the law allows.

Here is the very best link to view the entire manual for the new treo 800w. Even after its release this is a GREAT link for easy use if you own a 800w.

I read thru most of it last night and it appears to be a step up from the earlier models. I WILL BE BUYING ONE! even though I'm a loyal palm OS user, this appears to be a "smooth transition" to WIN-MO 6.1
