It is the widely held view of those outside of places partial to the 800w. Which makes theirs the more objective viewpoint.


Sprint Treo Pro Nearly Confirmed

The document goes on to report that the Treo 800w will indeed reach end-of-life status in favor of the sleeker, more media-savvy Pro.

Say Good-Bye to the Treo 800w

As mentioned earlier, the Treo Pro is apparently going to replace another Palm product in Sprint's line-up, the Treo 800w. While a new device replacing an older one isn't unusual, a Sprint launch of the Pro in January would be, as the 800w only hit the market in July.
The Pro won't be tremendously superior to the current model in features, but the 800w has been plagued by problems. Potential customers have even reported being steered away from this model by Sprint store salespeople.
Both models run Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, have a 320-by-320-pixel screen, 3G and Wi-Fi, and GPS. They also have the same general shape. The Pro is the thinner of the two, yet has a higher-capacity battery.
Despite their many similarities, the Pro and 800w are made by different companies. A CDMA version of the Pro would be made by HTC, while the 800w is made by Inventec.
