This is going to be a very solid device and an incremental improvement on the 800w.  The launch is delayed till March.
Here are some notable upgrades versus the 800w.

1.  Styling:  more compact and better BIGGER keys.  The new keys are definitely more impressive.

2.  3.5mm headphone jacks..so you have a better quality listening experience.

3.   A battery of 1500mAh is more impressive, yet I was hoping for the previous 1800 mAh.  These devices just need more battery life.  It’s an improvement over the 1150mAh 800W version.

4.  A great sleek touch screen.  I think this is a major change of making a digitizer and LCD rather than a touch screen alone.  This allows for the sleek impression of the phone profile.

5.  Faster 400 mhz processor in PRO versus the 333 mhz processor in the 800w.

6.  Same camera:  2MP vs. 2MP.

7.  Larger memory capacity of 32GB in MicroSD vs 8GB in 800W.

8.  Convenience keys similar: a good WiFi convenience key on the outside like the 800W.

9.  Built in GPS.

10.  Sprint One Click?  Not sure if WinMo will support this on Palm or not, but according to Sprint One Click standards, it should be on all Sprint phones, so this will improve navigation for common functions over standard Windows.

Overall, a good step up in many attributes.  The black shell is a good step up, also.
