I played with a Treo 800 today
 
This is my first review of anything. I apologize for the low quality pictures.

Remember. This phone doesn't come out until July 13th.

I'm not overly impressed. It's pretty much a 700 with an internal antenna, a wifi radio, and a Centro button layout.

It's about as big as the 755p but slightly slimmer.

I had a hard time finding the difference in the OS. It would appear that IE is slightly more realistic, then say a Curve, and you can pinch or zoom but fails in comparison to our Maemo browser or Safari on the Iphone.

I was impressed to find out that it has the ability to print via bluetooth to a bluetooth compatible printer. It also is PAM capable without a PAM plan/feature on your account. I didn't have it for long enough to pair it to my N810 but from the class, I could imagine it wouldn't take much to set up a DUN on it.

The screen sensitivity is just what you would expect from palm, awful. I realize the N810 doesn't have the greatest touch screen but 800 seemed far too "soft" for my liking.

What's that metal case you have your N810 in?

Yeah, I'm not sure why I felt like posting it. I just felt special for a moment as I was researching a phone that no one is able to get yet.

It's a case I purchased at amazon. It keeps if from getting scratched but it's as durable as it looks. I dropped it once and it opened. Luckily my tablet wasn't injured.
