At this point we don't even know the official specs, so it's really hard to judge. It could be a direct GSM port or they could have changed things.
But assuming it's a direct port, a lot of the differences are stylistic (thinner, glossy black, different keyboard, flush screen, no physical soft-keys).
Processor gets a little bump and GPS may or may not be "standalone" (non-network dependent). It also reportedly has the new Mobile Internet Explore (6). Battery should also be slightly bigger plus the 3.5mm jack.
It also may lose the Palm "optimizations" like Palm Messaging, Green Key Phone history/dial pad, their Today screen contact search, etc.
Other than that they share: WM6.1, Wifi, GPS, 320x320, BT2.0, 2MP camera.
IMO, it's more of a
hardware refresh than a whole new device and won't be as rewarding as going from a 700wx to 800w (since we got so many new features). Unless you have lots of problems/complaints with the 800w (some do) then it'll be real hard to justify an upgrade.
