You have an unknown amount of RAM/ROM still, cant just assume its 128/256. You have a 2.8" VGA (prob 640x480) which is a ton better than a 320x320 2.5" QVGA square. You have many unknowns to say the treo is better at this point and a lot of assumptions.

I never said the Treo 800w is going to be better. I said they would be equal hardware-wise. It's also unkown at this point which processor the 800w is using.

It's speculation, but anyone expecting more than 128MB of RAM is simply kidding themselves.

As I said, anyone expecting ground-breaking earth-shattering changes in the WinMo market because of these two device is getting their hopes up for nothing. It won't be a drastically better phone that the 800w. You will still have people that prefer the Treo form factor and people that prefer the HTC form factor. That's fine, I'm cool with that. All I'm saying is that you guys need to ground yourselves in reality.

If, come to find out, these phones do ship with 256MB of RAM, I'll be the first one to say awesome. That would be great. What's the realistic chances of it happening? Less than 1%.

Something tells me this leak will be followed up on in the next couple of weeks and we'll get some more solid specs.
