P.S. - Did you know it's Sprint's five-star service month? All other months are apparently four or less stars. So be warned, if you have to call for support, contract issues, service changes, or anything else that might require you speaking to a Sprint rep, do it in May.

Great!
Now let's get a date for the GSM version.
how about the Verizon launch?
Has there been any word one way or another (rumor/guess/chicken bones) on whether that Treo 700p will have graffiti 2?
Has anyone noticed that on the calender it only says "Palm Treo 700"? How it doesn't include a p at the end or a w. So it could possibly be the Windows Mobile version. But according to the recent rumours it is most likely to be the 700p. Just a thought though. :)
Ok I didn't see a p on the end of 700, I work for Sprint one my info said june, second I've been hearing 700W Thank God! If Sprint does get the $&%*^ palm OS version I quit
I also noticed that they didn't specify if it was the palm or windows version. Im personally waiting for the 700w for sprint. Are they going to realease both??
Keep in mind that the rumor had the announcement by Palm of this device on May 15...not necessarily the launch of the product. It would be very plausible for the announcement May 15, then availability to purchase on May 28
Wow. This is totally offtopic, but I totally read the title of this article as: Palm Treo 720p and BlackBerry 1080i to launch May 28th?
The blackberry is the first new model design for Sprint, which many have been waiting for, and the LG LX550 is one for the first phones with reported A2DP bluetooth profile and let alone its the fist EVDO phone with that profile. All 3 of these phones are pretty big deals and the 700p is more of the let down with no WiFi and no real advancements outside the mundane memory, camera, and network upgrades. The 650 is still the better bargain at half the price and cheaper monthly costs.
Wow, Dads AND Grads!! Can anyone get more info on that marketing program, last i heard it was launching the 15th, so I guess it was pushed back...
Whats a trio?
This gels with what I heard when I was at the Sprint store a week or two ago. I had to get my Treo 600 replaced (I know, I'm practically prehistoric, I take comfort in the thought that I used the phone before it was insanely popular, though) and started chatting up the CSR. We got into a whole talk about how incredible the phone is, but he did say there had been some delays from the initial mid-May release date. Either way, I'm stoked. The question is now: how long do I wait to buy after release? God forbid I should be plagued by first-wave bugs like the 650 had...
I hate Sprint like a cancer, but I have to say their phones, and data plans are looking really good. Almost like a cancer in remission. One that you can live with , but you know at any time it can turn on you.
The 700p is the answer. High speed data, and hopefully soon the software to use my Slingbox with the Palm OS. I don't need anything more. That's it, I will officially have it all.
Any news/rumors about a 700p at Verizon? Don't know how much longer I can keep my ancient (but wonderful) Palm Kyocera 7135 from falling apart.
Ever since reading about the price... Im curious to see what they'll charge for the sucker.
