When will the New Palm Treo Pro be Available for Sprint

Is the Treo Pro coming to Sprint anytime soon? When it comes to all the Palm smartphone releases, Sprint is always the first one to have them, at least a few months of exclusivity before Verizon Wireless. This time, Palm released the unlocked version before they put it up for sale through the carriers. Well that’s one of the ways to get the products faster to consumers’ hands. Typically, it takes time for every carrier to customize and test the phone for their network’s use. Depending on how extensive the testing is, it can take carriers months finalize the phone even after the product is fully tested at Palm’s own lab. So, will Sprint get the Treo Pro this year? Definitely before the Christmas shopping season. Compare Treo 800w and Treo Pro before you buy.

Is Sprint Dropping Palm Treo 755p?

The Palm Centro has been a hot selling item for Sprint since it was introduced later last year. And the Centro has been bringing more revenue for Palm than any other products that Palm in offering. For $99 sometimes $0 after rebates, you can get the pink or black Centro with 2-year contract while the Treo 755p costs at least $199 with a service plan. With virtually the same Palm OS but thinner and smaller form factor, and don’t forget that it still has a full QWERTY keyboard. It’s the only smartphone of that size to have a full QWERTY keyboard. The Blackberry Pearl has to cram two keys into one. For those loyal Treo fans out there, the 755p is probably the last Palm powered Treo you can get. Get it while you can, Sprint.com has limited supplies.

Pink Palm Centro for Sale with Sprint contract

I am certainly not willing to pay for the pink centro at the full retail price of $459 without a service contract. The Pink Centro is on sale with Sprint 2-year service agreement. Sprint.com official site is offering it at $99 after rebates. That’s a huge saving of $359. If the early termination fee is $300, which I believe it’s in the range of $200 to $300, that’s worth the commitment. Searching for free cellphones online, you can even find cheap deals on pink centrol that can bring down the final cost to $0. Free after rebates — in the retaier’s words. Don’t let the tiny candy-bar looking fool you. The new pink centro by Palm is a full-fledged with a compelete qwerty keyboard. so, say googbye to the suretype offered by the Pearl2. Better yet, you can capture photos and videos with 1.3 megapixel camera. Meet up with friends, text them, and email them with a faster EVDO from Sprint.

Palm White Centro for AT&T

Sprint always get the goodies first when it comes to new Palm products. And it looks like AT&T is not too far behind this time. Since the launch of Palm Centro for Sprint in December 2007, the Centro, in either pink or black have been the hottest selling smartphones for Sprint. This time around, AT&T has got the white Centro exclusively, if I remember correctly, it’s the first white phone ever made by Palm, don’t be supprised more colors are coming. Every spec on this new white Centro is the same as the Black Centro for Sprint with one big exception - it runs on EDGE while Sprint’s runs on EVDO. If you are looking for speed, Sprint is the only way to go at this time.

Did Treo Cause any Trouble for Sprint

Sprint is a long time partner with Palm and has been actively promote Treo since the introduction of Treo 300. But Sprint is not fairing too well recently. 2.6% of customers are leaving each month. And Sprint are axing 4,000 employees and closing 125 retail stores. Did Palm have to do with the trouble that Sprint is currently in? Did Palm not make enough Treo for Sprint to sell? Sprint has the exclusive right to sell Treo/Centro for at least 90 days after the introduction. This obviously didn’t help Sprint to acquire and retain customers.

Palm Treo 755p for Verizon Wireless

After a long delay of 7 months - that’s right, Verizon was supposed to release the new Treo 755p around the same time when Sprint did in May. I guess Palm still can’t afford to lose the largest CDMA partner in the US. Here is the deal: $400 with a two year contract! Are you willing to pay $150 more than the same phone at Sprint that’s considered 7 month old? There is nothing you haven’t seen on the Sprint’s Treo 755p. And the Palm Centro is selling for $99 at Sprint with pretty much the same functionality. You can even get the Centro for free at many online stores. There are tons of free cell phones and deals during Christmas time, save your $400 for something else.

Palm’s Future

The latest rumor is palm will be scooped up by nokia or Motorola.  This is not the first time similar speculation has come up. what i really wish for is apple would buy palm. Remember the first PDA made by apple - the Newton. it wasn’t a success. But palm picked up the trend and made a hit with palm pilot.

Did apple ever consider buying palm at all? It was very possible before decide to make their own cell phone. But now who will. The only product that nokia and Motorola are interested is the popular Treo phone. Since most of the nokia smart phones runs on Sybian which is a very popular smart phone OS in Europe. And Motorola, they had put palm OS in their cellphones before, with little success. now the windows mobile has been gaining ground over palm OS, and the moto Q is fairly successful. why would motorola buy palm?

Sorry, palm fans, you are so alone. If it has not been the treo phone, palm would have fallen apart by now. And the Treo is not even an original product by palm.

if nokia and Motorola wont, who will? Maybe dell or hp. it a logical step for dell to expand their product line by entering the cellular market after all. Although their pc market share has been deteriorating and the printer hasn’t caught up well lately. Having another hot product will certainly help dell to diverse stream of revenue. But at the time being, dell is really having trouble selling pcs the way they used to. In case you haven’t noticed, Dell is still in the pda business, thought not doing so well. Do you think it would be unwise for dell to pursuit the smartphone area that they are totally unfamiliar with? As for hp, it would also be a logical step for HP to scoop up a long time competitor in the pda arena. Maybe, it has been rumors before, but it never came true.

Palm Treo Stores

I have always wanted to visit the Palm flagship retail store in New York City since it was opened last year. The new store is one of the steps Palm has taken to in promote the new Treo 680 and 750. Today, I finally got the chance to visit New York and at the same time checked out the Palm retail store at the famous Rockefeller Center, directly across from the Radio City Music Hall on 74 West 50th Street. The store is small and not as noticeable as I expected. Well, the main reason they open this store at this location is to capture the attention of pedestrians and expand the Palm visibility to wide range of audience. But obviously, if I hadn’t known the exact location to go, I wasn’t sure the tiny “Palm” would have caught my attention. The store carries Palm’s entire product portfolio from Palm Z22 handheld to the latest Treo 680 smart phone. I was hoping to see the Treo 750 for Cingular, but obviously, there wasn’t one on display. I asked the store manager, he told me they are expecting it anytime soon, but no official words on the exact date (engagetmobile has reported that the official release date would be January 8, 2007). Most of people use the Treo Smartphone today for business purpose – mobile phone, email, organizer, and web accessing. The introduction of Treo 680 comes with 4 different colors and I am hoping the see the Treo 750 soon in the store.
