^^^ I signed up YEARS ago... Like when the Treo 300 was in beta. Never heard from them again. Wish they'd let me put the 800 through its paces... I have a TON of things to throw its way here at work.

I got one. I did a beta for them before, so, probably won't get selected for this one.

How many of people that fit the description have time to be a guinea pig? Unfortunately, I don't... at least not during weekdays... maybe on weekends I could test it out....

I will say it is WONDERFUL to see palm reaching out to the community! I hope they go all the way with it and actually send the products, even if pics are uploaded to every palm site on earth...

I didn't get one, despite being a long time Palm/Treo user. I'd love to try the 800w though.
