After playing with it for 2 days now I have some new thoughts. I was using an HTC Touch before. The 800w is just as fast if not faster even with it's slower processor. I had 72mb of free RAM at boot up and with no programs loaded I am at about 69mb. I had 160mb of storage available. The screen resolution makes the text much crisper than the Mogul or Touch and I love it. I can put the text size smaller and it is less strain on my eyes because the text is clear. Bluetooth is working great. As good as the Touch. The only problem is no Voice Command over Bluetooth like the Touch (this is a Palm issue and not Windows Mobile). This keyboard is excellent! Much better than the 700wx and much much better than the Centro. The Wifi is quick and easy. Having all of these buttons to customize makes me not miss my Touch at all. I am bummed that I had to purchase new adapters and cables but I much prefer the new microUSB to the old Palm connector. Battery life is terrible, but someone will come out with an extended battery soon. EVDO Rev A is much faster on this than my Touch, maybe because of the smaller screen I don't know. Volume is about the same a s the 700wx. The camera is better but could have been 3MP instead of 2MP.

My biggest complaint is the lack of soft reset. I will try Memmaid and see if it works. Screen doesn't seem as bright as the 700wx but it is definately crisper. The only thing I miss about my Touch is the screen brightness however there are too many pros with the new Treo 800w that I won't be going back to my Touch.

I am using the Jawbone 2 headset and it works flawlessly. I wish Palm would have added the auto answer feature for headsets that HTC does, but you can turn the Jawbone on to auto answer. You just have to turn that feature on every time you use it.

This size is awesome. It coulnd't be any smaller and be functional. They could have made it thinner but it would have been harder to hold. I really think the size is just right. I would recommend this to anyone with a Touch or Mogul. The Diamond is having alot of problems and even though it has a nicer screen I just prefer having a qwerty keyboard. I always have my laptop with me if I really want to do some major websurfing.

Oh, I don't care for the Palm texting software, but it is what it is. Good Luck!
