WOW! thanks for the info!

I must ask though, are you sure its the Treo 800w, not the centro?

I thought the 800w is still a ways away

Updated pictures look excellent. I'd prefer a landscape 320x240 screen but will definitely take the 320x320 square.

Will definitely be buying this the moment it's available.

lol, I was thinking the same thing.

Look, if you want people to take what you say seriously, then try to be specific and write a little better.

Second, if you have the device, why not just take a picture and post it? Or give me the photos and I'll post it. Or do something that actually backs up what you say for once?

Your messages was this:

Nothing about contacting you, no times, nothing.

So unless you actually provide something we don't know, everyone here will just assume you are just pulling a fast one.

My friend is software engineer for pda software company. Tonight he showed me the treo 800w that will be released on Verizon b4 christmas... if it is not delayed as many verizon releases lately.

It Does have builtin wifi, looks a lot like centro, Does have a ringer switch, has neither athena or miniusb, but a NEW proprietary connector.
I hope that they change the connector to mini usb for the release, the connector was about the same size.

It was blue, lighter than the 750 and not mettalic or rubberized.

One thing I liked was the time bounced around the screen when the backlight was off so those of you that don't wear a watch can glance at the time.

I didn't type on it, but the keyboard was smaller yet didn't look Too small to have trouble typing.

No I have no pictures, But I did want to share my quick impressions.

Now I just hope that a GSM version comes out soon after.

SOURCE/Discussion

Sounds legit to me...!

Updated Rumor on Engadget Mobile:

Are we staring at the new Treo 800w? We obviously know what's up with the Centro and the 500 (namely the 500v), so the only missing ID in that lineup is the 800, successor to the 700-series flagship throne. Well, if this thing is the 800w we do kind of hope Palm tosses that fish back. Rearranging the WinMo buttons and giving the phone a more industrial, geeky look does not a greater Treo make, so unless this thing is like half as thin as current-gen devices (which it won't be, Palm seems pretty dogmatic about keeping its devices thick), it'll just be more of the same.
