Monday just got a ton more exciting thanks to this leaked slide show that supposedly comes internally from Verizon. The slide show reveals all sorts of information about new devices, device upgrades, network upgrades, and new services. It is not known where the slide came from or how much it can be trusted, but it looks very official.

First off, Verizon is clearly getting the Treo 800w, just as sprint is. The release date is not revealed in the slide. The slide says Windows Mobile 6, but it is hard to imagine Sprint’s would be 6.1 and theirs would not. The slide also confirms that the device will in fact support Rev. A, and will have WiFi to boot. The 1.3 mega pixel camera is disappointing in this day and age, even from Verizon. It will support A2DP though, so that is a plus, and maybe we can let the low quality camera slide.

Also, as you can see, Verizon will be picking up the i770. The i770 will come as an upgrade to the i760, and will run Windows Mobile 6.1. The device will be a world phone, as the GPRS network mode in the corner reveals. It will also sport WiFi. Unlike the i760, it drops the side sliding keyboard, but according to the ‘Professional’ suffix on Windows Mobile, it keeps the touch screen.

It was also revealed that Verizon would launch a PTT service over their Rev. A network, this is a obviously Verizon’s roll out of QChat. Verizon will also roll out Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrades to the i760, and to the XV6800. It is not said when they will, the slide said May, but obviously that did not happen.
