I read from a mobile phone site blog yesterday that the new Palm Treo 800W is now being offered by Sprint. I have been waiting for this phone since I've tried the Palm Centro.

Let's go over the details of this new Sprint smartphone. First let's look at Sprint's offer to customers. The Palm Treo 800W is being offered at $250 after rebates and new 2 year agreement. I think it's only currently online but will be available on retails stores in the near future. The full price for the Palm Treo 800W is $599.00.

If you want to get the mail in rebate worth $100, then you have to sign up for a data plan of $25 or more or a Simply EverythingSM plan. Sprint is also offering free shipping and free activation for customers who purchase a phone with a new line of service online.

The highlight features of Sprint's new Palm Treo 800W includes the Mobile versions of Microsoft Office, Outlook and Internet Explorer. These features allow users to edit Word and Excel documents on the 800W. This Sprint smartphone is also touted for being able to offer Wireless Email, both Corporate and Personal emails.

I also surfed around for early reviews of the Palm Treo 800W and the critics were quite impressed with this new Sprint Smartphone. One of the reviews I've read describe the device as "
a pretty good one" when it comes to Windows Mobile phones. Another review also credited the handset as "undoubtedly the best Palm Treo on the market". Those quotes should stimulate keep you interested on the Treo 800W.
