Treo 800 forum?

[indagroove]

Now that it's officially out on Sprint, are we gonna get a forum for it?

[Improve]

Great I just got mine as well. I upgraded from a Treo 700wx. I realy liked my old phone so the 800w was an obvious buy. Anyways hope we can all learn and share. Im still feeling mine out.

I've been diehard BB for years but I really like the look of the 800. I love no trackball, gets too dirty. The 800w has a better keyboard than the Curve, and with Sprint TV what's not to like....Probably going to switch to Sprint for this in the near future.

[JAmerican]

I agree. I'd love to see a Treo 800w forum added :).

[tmknight]

There is a Treo 750 Cheetah forum that does not see much traffic. I propose it be renamed simply Treo and open to discussing all HTC produced Treo of the WM persuasion.

[Improve]

We need our own forum. I agree with the renaiming if the thread does not get much trafic to begin with.

/request!!!

[telomerase]

yes, please start a 800w forum. :)

[Shadowmite]

I don't believe the 800w is a HTC built phone. The 750 was, thus the reason it's on this site.

[TheChampJT]

What are your thought on the phone? I was a pretty big Treo user, until I found HTC :D!

i second this. pretty sure that the 800 is not htc. also, i would like to see an 800w forum as well! even if it means merging with another, altho that could certainly lead to unnecessary confusion within the sub-forum later on.

I just got a 800w to replace my HTC Touch which had replaced my Mogul.
I got the touch cuz it was tiny and had 3 times the RAM that the Mogul had. I got the 800w cuz I really missed a real keyboard.

Now I need a PPC that has a real keyboard, alot of RAM, AND a normal screen!!

The one downside to the 800w is it's square 320x320 screen. iGuidance and the SPB Finance's Quick Entry thingy don't display on a square screen! There goes $150 worth of software!!

I'm keeping the 800w because for noe, it's the best option and besides for those programs (and in general MUCH smaller everything - icons, fonts...), I really like it. It's quick, it has WM 6.1 out of the box, and it works well. (It doesn't come with ANY accessories other than wall charger and USB cable - cheap bastards!).

If anyone can help me out with the resolution thing that would be GREATLY appreciated!! The SPB I can live without (the main program works fine), but I need a GPS program that will work with a square screen. Anyone know one that works with, say, the 700wx? 320x320 should be the same as concept as240x240, just sharper.

Thanks!!

I say no Treo forum.

The 750 made by HTC.

The 800 Is not.

I don't think we need to add non-HTC devices. I don't know if you guys noticed but The Server is pegged as it is. Lets not add more load to our flailing server.

The 800 Is not.yeah, big "who cares"

Treo 800w is really well-positioned right now to steal a shitload of HTC customers who are disgruntled with driver problems -- 800w is properly accelerated and looks great. For CDMA customers (video driver problems notwithstanding) 800w is the undisputed king until Diamond and Pro land on U.S. carriers. Is it xda's goal to see the piss hacked out of Windows Mobile devices, or just HTC devices?

We need a place to hash out 320x320 compatibility issues, walkthroughs for deleting the Sprint crap, and a bunch of other stuff. I've definitely been reading a lot more PPCGeeks and WMExperts over the past couple of weeks.

i would like to see a 800w forum as well but i would like to see this site evolve to other makes as well. I think the world is ready and xda is one of the greatest sites on the net, its better then those xxx sites since its family friendly.

[remydakid]

its an iffy situation im on a 800w coming from a htcppc6800.
i think the only reason it should be put on this site is because this IS the BEST site for winmo development. so maybe there should be one:cool:

[insanecain]

i agree 800w forum! anyone got diag drivers to work on this yet?

Add one more to the "shitload". Just put my Touch on eBay after getting my 800. This thing is SO much more of a phone than anything that HTC has come up with.
+1 vote for the new forum!

Well it's been a while since I've needed to make any posts on XDA seeing I've been a humbled but proud owner of a first gen iphone. Now i know some might think that a sell out but i'm not here in defence of that today, today is a post of a different nature. I just bought me a palm centro as i have moved over to cricket(cdma) for a while and in doing so needed to unlock and mod this "simple O.S." device(the XDA in me). more to the point in doing so i've found the need to browse around and found that this lovely family of ours has purpose elsewhere. So what's the idea??? Instead of making a new forum for the newly added family of WM devices(the palm devices), why not make an edit to the wiki... add the other windows mobile devices to the wiki and through that add the best forums for those devices there. this achieves two purposes... it allows a controllale link (severed if nesseccary) to sources for these devices and also creates a bridge of knowledge. I know every bridge flows both ways and there are some setbacks to this ( riff raff, trouble makers, for example) but atleast we as a community can come to an understanding and figure it out... POWER TO THE DEVELOPERS!!!!:D

what about the treo pro??/

Any update on getting a forum for the 800W users?

[disturb3d1]

I have an Apache. You know, the 4 year old brick that only has wireless b and no GPS. I am just 24 hours away from getting a new phone and I am considering the 800W because its only 99 with a rebate. Does anybody have any comments or sugestions for me? I can't wait to have GPS and Wireless G. Oh, WMWifiRouter, has anyone use that on the treo800?

All I can say is that it is a fast little bugger. There is a review section over on ppcgeeks in the 800w forum, check that out.

My thoughts:
1. Fast (as compared to say Vogue or HD) in terms of just system responsiveness as well as (I think) dealing with graphics / images. For example, I put pocketcm on it just to test, and it scrolled SSOOOOO smoothly. I put my Vogue next to it and it looked terrible. I just hadn't really noticed what I was missing out on before...I say either:
A. Get the HD and wait another month or so for android
B. Wait for the G2.
C. Wait for the Pre.

2. Terrible terrible earpiece quality, sounds very muffled.

I would have kept it if not for #2. Never did find a known fix for it (and I checked for one again about 2 weeks ago).

Good luck!
