OK, I did a search and I am shocked to not see any news on this site about this release....... but since this site is mostly HTC users, I'll forgive you.. ;)

This little bundle of plain-vanilla familiarity is seemingly the first live picture of Palm's upcoming Treo 800w for CDMA networks, known internally as the Zeppelin -- you know, the obsolete airships that had a tendency to spontaneously combust. Specs on this one are starting to shore up, with Windows Mobile 6.1, EV-DO Rev. A, GPS, a 320 x 320 touchscreen (still novel by classic WinMo standards) and a typical Treo look and feel that doesn't diverge terribly much from Palm's tried, true, and well-worn formula. Sprint's looking solid to pick it up come late July, but with those HTCs around the corner, just how much love at the register is this thing gonna get?

Update: Looks like this thing might also have WiFi. And some serious girth.

yea i saw this on engadget last night at work and was jsut too busy to posdt it up...... i think it looks ok and all but these colors have got to go..... why not use that nice off silver from the 700wx since that was my first ppc.... and also just go to a regular screen already we all hasted the lack of screen on 240X240 and how only some apps would work but not going to a 320X320 screen? i guess its bigger but still just as hard for apps....... i may check this out a couple months after the release once i hear some feedback on the phone and all..... but i think many are going to hold off due to the fact of the raphael and diamond being dropped in Q4 at the end of the year.

Yea, I am kind of with you on that one...
The 700wx was my first ppc as well..... along the way, i have bought the 6700, by some MAJOR butt kissing I was able to return it a week after I had...... the first Moto Q, sold on ebay..... and I have friends that have the 6800 and the touch... but my trusty 700 with the paint rubbed off of a lot of the buttons has always been my trusty sidekick....
Now my wife also had the 700wx, in which through warranty replacement, she went through 3 of them for random problems, and the 3rd is actually in our closet with a busted screen.... now she has the Centro and loves it......
So, idk, for me and I guess my wife since she stuck with the palm brand..... I guess we are Palm people and not HTC.....
So, i too will wait til the 800wx is released and then find a release date on the Raphael (gotta have the keyboard) and choose innie minnie mine mo......
