Treo 700p release date leaked?

by Paul Miller, posted Mar 17th 2006 at 6:10PM

This scan was dubiously released to TreoCentral forums this afternoon without a lot of verification, but it would seem to purport a May 28th launch target for Sprint's Palm Treo 700p. The 28th happens to be a Sunday, which seems odd timing for a launch, but it could just be a general target, and it lines up with the mid-year rumorings we've heard recently. The scanned product sheet also mentions EV-DO, a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, 128MB of memory, and DUN modem capability, none of which contradicts previously leaked specs. So while the mid-year timing might be a blow to those of us barely scraping by on a 650, the feature set is looking good for those with patience. That is, of course, if any of this checks out at all.

Barely scraping by on a 650? How about those of us eager to replace a vanilla cell phone with our first treo?

Have mercy, Palm!

YES!! I have been waiting on this news! Now is the time to start leveraging the "appease my no-longer under contract account for new phone goodness or I walk to Verizon" spill. I WILL receive this handset at little to no cost. Thanks Engadget!

Trust me kids, if they release the 700p with Palm OS v5.4 (which I believe they plan to), it'll be better for you to hold out for something else (e.g., ALP). I *love* my 650, but for what it cost, Garnet leaves a lot to be desired.

I think it's kind of curious that the 700W was released first. It really makes me wonder if PalmOS is being completely overhauled or if it's reaching the end of its useful life. Here's hoping that it's the former.

Been waiting for this phone and the release date, but of course the titillation of the "Holywood" version (or whatever it is call) with the thin, not antenna stub model has me wondering if I shouldn't wait a little longer.

Unfortunately I'm 'married' to Sprint and most likely "IF" this rumor is correct as to the date I better be satisfied with what I can get. I think my palm based Samsung i500 has given me about all the service it can. (no support, no speed, limited screen/touchpad sensitivity) I'm ready for a new phone now.
