Sorry to be so negative....
But not a whole lot seams to work with the 800w

I had a sprint Touch..... and had many programs that worked great with that phone. but with my 800w the only thing I have been able to get working is skyfire and usbmodem

SiriusWM5.... no go (unless I use skyfire)
I can't even watch youtube (unless I use skyfire)

Even when listening to mediaplayer.... after about 10-15 minutes... it quits (because it goes dormant)

If it is settings I need to change please let me know where I can find them

There is really not much support for this device......

Disregard the SiriusWM5....... I tried it again...... went into the settings.... and UNCHECKED everything... Bingo, it worked

But will it continue when the phone goes dormant ???

not to be negative but your working with a palm device, they aren't nearly as app friendly as the HTC products. HTC you can crack and mess with all you want compared to Palm devices. Just a heads up... I have the 800w and I regret getting it as I want to customize it but can't. If you want to really customize your phones get an HTC.

I'm curious as to what kind of customizations are you not able to do on your 800w? I've found it to be very customizable by searching various forums such as here, TreoCentral, xda, etc...

I think ott is talking more about building a custom rom for the Treo. There are many custom roms and even kitchens to cook your own rom for many HTC devices out there. Currently there is nothing available like that for Palms 800w.
