Treo 800w shows up on Sprint roadmap for July release

At this point the Treo 800w has been outed by Bill Gates himself, so while the suspense factor is pretty low, it's nice to know that it'll finally be getting here in July. That's the word according to this purloined Sprint roadmap, which also indicates the newest Treo will have GPS and EV-DO rev. A -- but still run WinMo 6.0, which is pretty sad, especially if that revised version of 6.1 launches at CTIA next week as expected. Oh well, at least it's a new Treo -- let's just hope they can shake some more ugly off this thing before it hits the street.

Um... it says JULY.

Not only that but updated information coming from Sprint is that is will have WM 6.1.

That makes sense since the GSM Palm "Drucker" will have 6.1 and the Treo 750 will get a 6.1 upgrade.

Looks like Palm only listens to consumers on the verge of bankruptcy.

Sad. I am no longer interested Mr. Colligan.

Why does everyone think it's so ugly? I think it's one of the best looking treos yet...and finally Sprint is stepping it up with the exclusive handset side, they have been holding the first of the HTC's and now Treos for a while now, ahhh I can't wait!

I agree, this is probably one of Palm's sexiest devices in awhile. If they can somehow make it thinner then we have a real contender here.

I'm wondering why Sprint was so quick to have it removed. They haven't usually minded leaks in the past...
