The Palm Treo was one of the original smartphones. As new handsets have hit the market the Treo has become mostly overshadowed by cooler options. Despite that fact, the Treo still continues on and back in May we saw a spy shot of the new Treo 800w.

Palm has now officially launched the Treo 800w and announced that the device is a Sprint exclusive handset. The 800w will sell for $249.99 after discounts and 2-year agreement. The handset will operate on Sprint’s EVDO Rev A network for fast broadband speeds.

An image that is supposedly a prototype Palm Treo 800w in the wild has been leaked, along with a name. The “Zeppelin”. That’s right, it shares it’s name with the large air vehicle. The kind that ends up in flames.

Very little of the hardware has been confirmed, but it’s CDMA and there’s a microUSB plug. Rumors suggested a 320 x 320 touchscreen and, in prototype form, EV-DO Rev.0. We think this is the first time it’s been seen in it’s skin. Some estimates say that the eventual release date will be June 22nd. It looks like a blend of the Treo 750’s keyboard with Centro-like controls.
