Palm Treo Pro now shipping
Listen up all you Palm Treo Pro hopefuls, your pre-order unit is now shipping with Palm's on-line store showing in stock availability. At least one tipster received a confirmation email saying his unlocked, $549 obsidian-black Treo is in the mail. Hell, Palm even did him a solid and expedited the order overnight instead of the 6-10 day standard shipment originally selected. Good on ya Palm.

How about a Verizon version...any news?

Wouldn't this have been sexier as an android phone? I think so. That'd be cool for Palm to do something drastic like that, intead of clinging to life on Win Mo, and hoping they'll release their own OS one day again.

The last 2 remaining Palm fanboys on Earth are now moist with anticipation.

And I am one of them, god I want AT&T to pick this up... Im able to renew in about 2 months... Get it moving At&T, i want the functionality of my Tilt with the Palm Smartphone form factor.

Why so moist over a 0.1 OS upgrade (if that, since Tilt is now at 6.1) over your Tilt? How does your life expand beyond its current state? Never had a Treo before?

He clearly said that he wanted the Treo form factor, which the Tilt does not have. He never said anything about an OS upgrade.

Only 400 Mhz? Why does Palm insist on under powering these Windows Mobile devices? The resolution is also "very 2007".
And BTW, You guys are killing me with this Android stuff, you know the phone without corporate push email, no tethering and lack of BT stereo.
:)

Yeah.. i more said the Android stuff as a half joke.
(BTW all things you listed can come in the way of a Software update i believe, especially if new hardware supported it more. Plus the tethering thing is policy and carrier, and can be circumvented by wifi tethering that is an inevitable application.)

Android isn't a phone, it's a phone OS. Palm could easily tweak it to include all three of those options.

I used to have a treo 680 and loved it. I am in love with the form of it, touchscreen smartphone. I love the usabillity of the tilt, but having to slide the damn thing open to type (or use a stylus) busts my b*lls.

Now all it needs is a sweet interface gui and pork itself fondilly forthworthy whatever that means.

I think this has T-Mobile 3G Band. I checked Palm website and the specs list the 2100Mhz UMTS band.

I was a Palm OS fanboy, but I never used an actual Palm PDA until someone gave me an m105 about a month ago (I always used Sony Clies, but I have now upgraded to a Nokia N800). I wish that Palm would release some Android or other mobile Linux smartphones instead of their now aging OS or *shudder* Windows Mobile. Then I would be more interested in buying one.
