BTW, Dan... I'm holding a Treo 800w in my hands. I'm going to see if I can use it long enough to do a review at some point today, but I've got a busy day and since its not my primary phone, the folks at engadget will probably  beat me to it.

EDIT: Charles, aren't you a Blackberry fanboy?

The Palm Centro is a great phone.
Pick up a spare battery on ebay for ~$10 and you're good to go.

What do you think of the Treo 800w vs. the Mogul?

The only differences I know of are:
Slide-out keyboard for the Mogul vs. "always there" by the Treo - Big advantage Mogul
64mb memory for the Mogul vs. 128mb for the Treo - Big advantage Treo

other than that are there any features that one has and the other does not? or any other advantages / disadvantages?

(I was considering making this it's own thread, if any mods think it should be feel free to move it.)

800w has more memory, and HTC messed up the display drivers on the new Qualcomm chips used in the mogul/touch.
Basically, this doesn't make much of a difference as far as the functionality of the device, however you'll notice things like scrolling through lists or pages are smoother on other devices (more on this at htcclassaction.org, where some folks are trying to sue HTC for selling "broken" devices).

Still, I prefer the larger screen of the mogul vs. the always-out keyboard. Video performance is still top notch on the mogul, so the display driver, while irritating, is not enough to go to a smaller screen for me. The memory would be nice, but then there's always the HTC Touch which aslo has tons of memory. The mogul is my "lesser of all evils" currently, but there is no perfect phone.
