Palm makes a good WM phone, but with the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro coming a couple of months after the 800w, I don't think I'll be getting the new Palm.

If the 800w had 480x480 resolution I would be tempted to jump ship, but with only 320x320 I'll wait for the new VGA models from HTC.

I know the screen on the 800w is smaller, but the Touch Diamond/Pro will have 3x the pixels as the 800w (102400 vs 307200).

I've been waiting for a VGA WM phone for a CDMA network since my Toshiba e800 that I had back in 2003. Man, five years ago and we still don't have VGA phones on a CDMA network. Talk about being spoon fed technology.

Even though pocket IE sucks compared to iphone's safari browser, it's so much more enjoyable to view at VGA resolution.

BTW: I think the Touch Pro is going to have over 256MB of RAM.
Who knows how much of that will be available to the user though.
I was reading in the Touch Diamond Forum that one of the custom ROM's has 60MB of Ram available after a soft reset. That's a lot of RAM used by the OS when the Diamond has 128 or 192 MB of RAM.
