The Treo 800w follows Palm's recent success with the Palm Centro, a device that Palm has said is geared more toward first-time smart phone users than the smart phone purists wooed by the Treo. Palm said as of March 31 it had already sold 1 million Centros since its launch in September, mainly due to its attractive sub-$100 price tag when paired with a wireless contract. Palm is now setting its sights on the 2 million mark, which the device-maker said will probably happen soon.

Last week, Palm and AT&T introduced the electric blue Centro as a limited time promotion available from Friday July 11 through Sept. 20. The electric blue model (pictured here) features all of the same capabilities as other AT&T Centros, but adds in AT&T services like XM Radio Mobile, Push to Talk, MusicID, TeleNav GPS Navigator and MobiTV.
