Google Maps won't work with either EVDO or Wifi.. says it can't connect to network.. Live Search works fine...gets GPS lock in about 10 seconds in the house. That's on the first lock. Haven't tried it again yet. I don't have a miniSD card to try other GPS programs
Comes with Sprite Backup. I haven't tested it yet though.
SprintTV works well.
I tried Youtube player and the odd shape screen made working with a little awkward as you have to do a few scrolling to see the buttons to play the file. Otherwise it played the youtube clips fine.
Doesn't have an applications close manager. I'll have to install it. RIght now I have to go into the Running Programs and close the ones that are running.
Phone calls even in my house with bad reception sound good. Like I said, gets better reception than my Mogul.
EVDO Rev A is fast in my house and pages download quicker than my Mogul. Again, could be cause of reception differences.

I got the 800W. I saw that a few people here and at Treonauts had gotten their 800's so I called a few Sprint stores. They all keep telling me that they could not sell it until Sunday. I finally got a store about 15 miles away to say come in and we'll see if the computer accepts it. It did, and I have my 800. Had a few issues with Syncing it. My computer would not recognize it. I spent about 2 hours on the phone with Palm and Sprint. We finally got it. It was as simple as a soft reset. It doesn't seem to have a hard reset. I got everything from my Touch on my 800. Good thing since I have a little over 500 contacts and a whole bunch of stuff on my calendar. All in all, I love it. It is very simple to use, maybe because I had the 700. It is the perfect size. My 700 was too big and the Touch was a little to small. The battery does drain fast, can't wait till an extended comes out. I want to get the same case that I had for my Touch. I bought the only holster/case they had. Don't care for it. I brought it home, put on a screen protector and away we went. It reads my card fine, and I have set all my personal ringtones. Working great so far. I also do not like the plastic stylus and miss the quick end programs function. You have to go to Task Manager to shut them down. It doesn't slow it down and I have unlimited data, but I'd still like to be able to shut them down, so if anyone has suggestions... I also tried the battery app (green battery fix 4 -293) from this site that worked on the touch but won't work on the 800. Google Maps works great for me. I will post again in a few days after I get time to play with it.
