Palm have officially announced Palm Treo 800W with integrated GPS to be available on Sprint. With the embedded GPS and Palm software, Treo 800w smartphone offers maps, point-to-point directions and point-of-interest (POI) searches.

This is Sprint’s newest smartphone with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional which is designed for business users who depend on their smartphones for high-speed work on the go. Palm Treo 800w operates on the Sprint and utilizes EV-DO Rev. A networks.

Palm Treo 800w has a larger 320×320 screen, 2 megapixel camera, and a microSD card slot. It will cost $250 with a commitment of 2 years. The door-to-door navigation will additionally cost $10 on top of your mobile plan.

Sprint launched online sales of the Treo 800w, the Windows Mobile-based Treo model, hoping to capitalize on the fading Apple iPhone 3G fever. The latest Treo runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional as its operating system, a Treo choice for Microsoft purists not wanting to run Palm’s own OS. The Treo 800w also features GPS, Wi-Fi and EVDO Rev. A.

The Palm Treo 880w measures 4.4 x 2.3 x 0.7 inches and weighs in at 5 ounces, making it slimmer and more shapely than earlier Treo handsets.
